The Highland Vet

Veterinarian Bridget and nurse Vicky receive a report concerning a prolapsed sheep that has been observed on a hill farm, prompting them to investigate the case. At the same time, vet Ken is set for a demanding day, which includes performing the castration of three ferrets that are currently in season.

The show is a veterinary programme presented as a single episode, following the daily work of a rural veterinary team. It centres on vet Bridget, her assistant nurse Vicky and fellow vet Ken as they respond to a range of on‑farm emergencies. Early in the episode Bridget and Vicky are alerted to a serious problem on a hill farm – a sheep has suffered a prolapse and needs urgent attention. At the same time, Ken’s schedule is packed with the castration of three ferrets that are currently in season, meaning he’ll be busy handling those procedures throughout the day. The storyline juxtaposes the two separate calls, highlighting the varied nature of farm animal care. While Bridget and Vicky head up the hill to treat the prolapsed sheep, Ken prepares for a series of routine yet time‑sensitive surgeries on the ferrets. Both teams must manage their respective tasks efficiently, showcasing the challenges and responsibilities that come with working as a veterinary crew in a rural setting.
