Parasites... Red tape... A tubercular cow... And Siegfried takes an instant dislike to Mr Murray who ill-treats a dog, as a vet's life at Skeldale Surgery continues. An outbreak of louping-ill on the grouse moors is traced - or is it, when Mr Murray's help in clearing the land cannot be counted upon?
