24/7 Pet Hospital: Season 1, Episode 4

1 - 4: Episode 4

A French bulldog called Appona is rushed in by her owner after struggling all night to give birth. She is carrying five puppies, but after doing an x-ray, the team are concerned that the puppies' size may cause complications for mum. Just as they're about to go into theatre to perform a caesarean section, a call comes through from ICU with a surprising development.

In neurology, rescue kitten Eric has intermittent lameness in his back legs, but further tests reveal that the problem may not be neurological.

In the orthopaedic department, surgeon Fran is seeing Marley, a six-month-old labrador puppy, for a six-week check-up to see if his operation to repair a cartilage defect has been a success.
