Summary
The staff are always full of festive cheer at Christmas. But for Professor Noel Fitzpatrick, it’s busier than ever, with Adam the Alaskan Malamute who needs life changing knee replacement surgery, Harvey who has a severely fractured Jaw and puppy Peggy who has a deformed foot.
Noel also gets a surprise visitor from back home in Ireland, his mum Rita Fitzpatrick.
Adam
Adam, a sleigh pulling Alaskan Malamute needs both knees replacing with implants. But as he is recovering from his first operation, Adam’s other knee begins to fail, and owners Colin and Andrea are forced to make a difficult decision: wait for the first knee to recover fully and risk losing everything if Adam’s second knee fails, or go ahead and let Noel operate on Adam’s second knee within two weeks of having the first one done, knowing that the two-year old Malamute may not recover from having two knee replacements in quick succession.
Harvey

Peggy
