Little Lucu the dog has been attacked by a paralysis tick and the poison is rapidly shutting down her system. A round-the-clock watch is needed to keep this innocent victim alive. But will it be enough? Then, Lisa is confronted with a horrifying emergency as Jonti the cat is rushed in with a gaping hole in his neck. Jonti was running away from the boisterous family dog when the drama broke out. Nobody is sure exactly what happened but the shocking wound has carved throught the cat's muscles and is only millimetres away from his jugular vein. Later on, Chris is given the run-around when he is called out to help Dorothy the Emu - but how do you treat a patient you can't even catch? Helping Dorothy may turn out to be Chris' toughest case for some time.

Chris has an important date with burns victim Sophie Delezio. Then, a baby cockatoo has fallen 20 metres out of her nest and wants to alert the whole world to her plight.

It’s a busy time at the clinic for Chris this week- a morning walk has gone tragically wrong for Tigger andhis distressed owner Bernadette. A street cleaner spooked the five year old and sent him charging into a car. Chris is trying to calm them both down to find out the extent of Tigger’s injuries. Then, a large tick has been found and removed from the loveable chubby Albert. The only problem is 24 hours later he’s suddenly deteriorated. Owner Penny is feeling guilty and blames herself for not coming to the vet sooner. Her two little girls are now pinning their hopes on Chris to get Albert through the danger. Meanwhile, Dr Lisa is out of SASH and on her way to help a special friend. 15 year old Pearl used to be the star of the show at the Pet Porpoise Pool in Coffs Harbour. The much loved fur seal was rescued on a beach when she was 2 after a fishing hook blinded her right eye, now a cataract in her left eye has left her blind and terrified.
