Noel Fitzpatrick offers cutting-edge treatment for Luca, a long-suffering four year old springer spaniel with a painful elbow disease. He designs and creates a special screw for Luca's leg with a system for injecting a bone-growth gel around it, and after an eight year old Newfoundland called Iver collapses, his owners face an agonizing wait for the MRI scans to reveal if anything can be done for the gentle giant. Also Dr Gerard McLauchlan is consulted when young Labrador puppy Bow has a bit of a messy problem.
