Eight-month-old Labrador puppy Ollie is rushed in as as a late-night emergency after being hit by a car, while four-year-old bull mastiff Bayleigh is referred to Noel with a suspicious and painful lump near her ankle. Cassie and Ashley thought their only option was to have their cat's leg amputated, but a chance encounter with Noel has given them hope that it could possibly be saved.

A Maine Coon cat is brought into the practice with a fractured hip joint, which Noel determines is caused by a genetic disease that has made the heads of both of her femur bones degenerate. After a very challenging process of weighing up the pros and cons of surgery, the owners opt for bilateral total hip replacement.

A five-year-old Bedlington terrier, who has suffered a broken front leg three times in the last four years, is referred to Noel with another fracture in her leg. Elsewhere, beloved fox red Labrador Jethro has arthritic elbows, which have left him unable to walk properly and are causing him great pain. Noel uses a tiny camera to take a closer look at the joint damage and determine the best course of action.
