Junior Vets

Series 2

Episode 7

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're older. 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's for certain though, they're 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 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 help scan Danni the poorly lion to find out if he will ever get better. They also get hands-on with horses when they check the competitors at some posh horse trials and help with upside down surgery on Leo's leg. Show less
