The programme is a single episode that follows Professor Noel Fitzpatrick as he works in his veterinary practice. It is presented in a straightforward format, focusing on the day‑to‑day cases that come through his doors and the hands‑on treatment he provides. In this particular instalment, the professor’s attention turns to a young Labrador puppy suffering from an elbow disease. At the same time, a one‑year‑old cat arrives with a severely crushed pelvis and a broken tail, both injuries requiring immediate veterinary care. The episode tracks the assessment of each animal and the steps taken to address their distinct problems. Throughout the broadcast, Professor Fitzpatrick applies his expertise to both cases, demonstrating how he tailors his approach to the specific needs of a canine patient with a joint condition and a feline patient with traumatic injuries. The narrative stays centred on the clinical work, showing the diagnostic process and the practical interventions that are employed to give the puppy and the cat the best possible chance of recovery.
