The Supervet: Noel Fitzpatrick

A two-year old mastiff is diagnosed with a bone tumour in her leg. Noel suggests she may be a suitable candidate for his pioneering endoprosthesis surgery. But six weeks later she's back, suffering pain in her foot. Noel has to loosen her toes. A tiny pug has lost control of her hind legs and faces the prospect of euthanasia. But neurologist Colin Driver hopes that spinal surgery may give hope. And a Rhodesian Ridgeback comes to surgery suffering from lameness. Surgery may be required, but Noel and the owners are concerned about putting the dog through this option. Together they must decide on the right thing to do.
