Expats Dave and Sue arrive at the surgery after a 500-mile trip from France to bring their border collie Kaspar, who has a leg pain that is proving hard to diagnose. An eight-year-old pug needs surgery on its elbow, and an Egyptian Mau cat is rushed into Fitzpatrick's after fracturing its knee in a fall from a second-floor balcony. Noel goes ahead with surgery on the complex fracture, but if there are any complications the kitten may face amputation.
