It's Christmas at Fitzpatrick Referrals and Professor Noel musters all his skills to treat three very special patients, a rescue puppy, a Dalmation, and a Labrador from Switzerland.

A four-year-old French bulldog suffers a spinal injury being chased by another dog in the park. A rescue Labrador has a wounded paw. And a cocker spaniel has a painful hind leg.

Professor Noel offers cutting-edge treatment for Luca, a four-year-old springer spaniel with a painful elbow. There's also a leaky Labrador puppy in need of surgery.

A small Cavachon has not only a broken leg but also a serious heart condition. A Labrador needs help with badly formed hips. And a nervous basset hound has a spinal problem.

Professor Noel faces one of his greatest ever practical and ethical challenges as he seeks to provide Hermes, the one-legged tortoise, with three new prosthetic feet.

A puppy called Albie has a broken back from being knocked over by a car and needs a complex operation. And a Scottish terrier has a mysterious ailment never seen before.

A fluffy Persian cat that's been hit by a car, requiring complex treatment. A rescue dog has a tumour, and a young staffie-cross has a sore elbow.

The Supervet returns for a new run, this time helping a giant Newfoundland puppy called Lola and a golden Labrador in need of a bionic solution for a deformed front paw.
