Episode 2

Documentary series following vets across Scotland as they tend to a wide variety of animals. Equine vet Graham Hunter does an endoscopy, and Jane Harley treats a kiang horse.

Anns an t- sreath sa tha sinn a' coinneachadh lighichean-sprèidh fo air feadh Alba 's iad ri frithealadh iomadach seòrsa beathach beag is mòr, peatal agus fiadhaich. Bidh sgeulachdan toileachais agus bròin pailt agus sinn a' coinneachadh ri gach creutair beò. An t-seachdainn sa, aig Taigh Ardene faisg air Obar Dheathain tha each a' faighinn endoscopy bho bheat-eich Graham Hunter, agus e tarraing fiacaill à each eile - agus cha bheag an t-saothair.

Aig Pàirce Fiadh Bheathaichean na Gàidhealtachd, tha aig bheat Jane Harley ri fiacalan each Kiang a dheanamh rèidh, agus crodhan Markhor a ghearradh. Tha i airson fuil a tharraing bho tharbh-allaidh òg, ach chaneil e cho furasta nuair tha am baid mu chuairt - gu h-àraidh an tarbh mòr.
Agus aig Vets Now faisg air Obair Dheathain, tha piseag air a thighinn a steach le a ceann sàs ann an tiona - rud nach fhaca bheat Daibhidh MacCoinnich a-riamh!

This series takes viewers on a journey across Scotland following vets as they tend to animals from small to large to very wild. Stories of joy and stories of sadness as we meet all creatures great and small.

In this programme, we follow equine vet Graham Hunter at Ardene House near Aberdeen as he carries out an endoscopy on one horse and removes a tooth from another - a task that takes a few hours and a lot of patience.

At Highland Wildlife Park, vet Jane Harley rasps a kiang horse's teeth and trims a markhor's feet. She also wants to take some blood samples from a female bison, but it's quite a challenge for the team as the herd roams freely round the reserve, and they need to guard from the protective and fearsome bull.

Meanwhile, at Vets Now near Aberdeen, vet David Mackenzie has to deal with a kitten with its head completely stuck in a tin can - a first in all his years of practice!
