The Pol Clinic vets are up to their coverall collars in clients and the new vet, Dr. Emily, can't start soon enough as Dr. Pol juggles cases that send him out to help a horse combating colic, a rabbit that can't hop to it, and a working dog named Stitches, with possible head trauma.

Dr. Pol certainly has a lot on his plate when a pit-bull is in for emergency surgery, a pair of pups run into a prickly porcupine, and Smoke the pet pig, is attacked; but Charles may have bitten off more than he can chew when he decides to enter the annual pancake eating contest.
