Peter is called out to help a ewe whose labour is worsening. Julian has 50 little goats to disbud, but Doris the kid is playing hide and seek. Border terrier cross Poppy has bone cancer in one of her hind legs, and the only hope of saving her is to remove the limb.

Peter is mystified by the contents of Khufu the cat's stomach, and must administer anti-mite spray to one of the biggest eagles in the world. Julian helps Millie the Shetland pony with her placenta, and tries his hand at dentistry for Audrey the alpaca.
