Documentary series following vets across Scotland. Scott Rigg treats a cat with a broken jaw, and Romain Pizzi examines an injured buzzard and a wild goose.

Anns an t-sreath seo tha sinn a' coinneachadh lighichean-sprèidh bho air feadh Alba 's iad ri frithealadh iomadach seòrsa beathach beag is mòr, peatail agus fiadhaich. Bidh sgeulachdan toileachais agus bròin pailt agus sinn a' coinneachadh ri gach creutair beò. An t-seachdain-sa, tha cat a bh' ann an tubaist-rathaid air a shlighe steach gu AVR ann an Siorrachd Obar Dheathain, agus feumaidh bheat Scott Rigg obair-lannsa a dhèanamh air a pheirceall briste. Aig Pàirc nam Fiadh-Bheathach tha a' bheat Jane Harley agus an luchd-glèidhidh trang a' cruinneachadh markhors agus cait-fhiadhaich nach eil ag iarraidh a bhith air an glacadh. Agus aig Ionad Teasairginn nam Fiadh-Bheathach, tha Romain Pizzi a' toirt sùil air gèadh-fiadhaich a tha cuagach agus air clamhan a chaidh a leòn air feansa uèir bhiorach.

This series follows vets across Scotland as they tend to small, large and very wild animals. In this programme, vet Scott Rigg at AVR in Aberdeenshire uses his CT scanner to identify Louie the cat's injuries after a road accident, and finds out he needs to operate to reconstruct his broken jaw.

At Highland Wildlife Park, vet Jane Harley and the team of keepers have their hands full as they try to catch wildcat kittens and markhors. Two young male markhors need to be separated from the females now and moved to another enclosure to join the big boys, but catching them is another matter.

And Romain Pizzi is busy at the Wildlife Rescue Centre with a lame goose to x-ray and a buzzard that was found injured on a barbed wire fence. He needs to be sure they will recover sufficiently to survive in the wild.
