Junior Vets On Call - CBBC - BBC

There is a real emergency during an operation on three-year-old rabbit Patches.

Six children find out if they have what it takes to be a vet. The junior vets are called to help a family of goats who need to have their overgrown hooves trimmed.

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'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, heart-warming 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.

There is a real emergency during an operation on three-year-old rabbit Patches. And the junior vets are called to help a family of goats who need to have their overgrown hooves trimmed. Also, 32,000 patients may be suffering from a mystery disease at a poultry farm. The competition for the head vet title is hotting up as some of the junior vets confront their deepest fears and phobias.
