This series follows vets across Scotland as they tend to small, large and very wild animals. One of the zebras at Blair Drummond Safari Park has to be knocked out as he has a sore foot. The drug used in the dart gun would kill a human being, so vet Colin Scott has to be very careful when he is preparing the dart and has an antidote ready in case anything goes wrong.

In Wick, vet Kiri Harvey tends to a cat that has broken his leg in a road accident. An X-ray shows that she has no choice but to amputate because of where the break has occurred, but how will Tiao cope with only three legs?

And vet Austen Marr visits a stud farm near Banff where they breed horses that have gone on to be successful at World Cup level. The window for a horse becoming pregnant is very short, so the mares are regularly checked to see if they are in foal.
