Junior Vets

Series 2

Episode 4

First broadcast: on CBBC HDLatest broadcast: on CBBC HD

We've only gone and managed to convince the world famous Edinburgh Royal Vet School to reopen its doors to six new junior vets! But not all of the raw recruits are desperate to become vets when they grow up. Some of them might well get wobbly at the slightest suggestion of surgery and others could panic at the prospect of picking up a puppy. One thing is for certain though, they are all keen to try and prove they can overcome any fears and phobias and become top animal menders. And every one of them is desperate to bag the prestigious title of head vet.

This time, we're going to test them out at an even bigger network of zoos, wildlife hospitals and vet practices beyond vet school as we really put the junior vets through their paces. Junior Vets 2 is gritty, raw and real but also life-affirming, heartwarming and mischievously entertaining as the trainees are guided through an increasingly intense training programme and real vet work... something very few young people have ever been allowed to experience before.

The junior vets are operating on poorly dog Guinness who needs surgery. Cheddar the cow needs help giving birth to her new calf. And super-fast birds are in line for a health check - but only if the junior vets can catch them first. Show less
