Tatiana, Peppa & Luna

Tatiana, a one year old crossbreed puppy is brought to see if The Supervet, Professor Noel Fitzpatrick can do anything to correct her severely deformed front legs. Tatiana was rescued by a charity from Romania, and Angie and her husband Phil have given her a home, together with their other eight dogs. Tatiana was born with dislocated elbows and her front legs are splayed out to the sides so all she can do is shuffle along in pain.

Pascal, Veronica, and daughter Noemie travel all the way from a snowy Switzerland with Luna, their seven year old Labrador who has had trouble walking for years. Their local Swiss vet thinks it’s a shoulder issue, but Noel thinks there may also be a problem in her elbow.

Peppa is Julie and Clive’s eight-year-old ‘dodgy dog’, a Dalmation who has always been wobbly. After multiple visits to the vets, she was diagnosed with bulging discs in her neck. Previous surgery has failed, the implants have collapsed and one of them is now squashing Peppa's spinal cord. Noel describes it as a ‘ticking time bomb’ because Peppa is in pain and her condition is deteriorating.
