The yorkshire vet C5

[andyjo1982]

Anybody been watching this recently? Very gritty, but very interesting too.

Yep watching it. Quite like the humour and banter that goes on, especially from Peter, the older vet.

Though have to say I was shouting at the telly at that daft old bat who was too proud to clean up her dog's bum if it had had a runny messy poop, resulting in it being very sore and unpleasant. Laughed at the vet who gave the condition it's proper Latin name and then went on "which basically means a massive lump of st stuck to his arse."

Good watching, but always difficult when they open up an animal and find something worse than expected.

MrsHogg and I watch this, we love the old couple with the farm, the old dear (Jeannie I think) cracks us up with her comments.

Back on C5 now. Not for the feint hearted. He's already had a hand in unpacking a baby alpaca, removed a chinchilla's testicles and now had to deal with a lamb with prolapse. Gritty.

New series started last night.

Yes, quite good. Usual mixture of heavy animals and domestic pets.

Can someone explain to me why money is never mentioned? Nobody ever seems to get a vet's bill! Why is that?

Don't generally watch this but caught the horse castration last night. I think I'll continue to not watch it!

We run a working farming in North Yorks and I know one of the vets featured in a professional capacity. They are as they are shown; kind, determined, pragmatic and honest, but be in no doubt, the invoice arrives on the mat as soon as their 4x4 leaves the yard and is rarely less than you were expecting!

I suspect the scenes with the old couple on the small holding are given additional airtime because the TV company think it works as human angle for the program. I've never had a vet call in just to see if a farm cat is okay....
