The Yorkshire Vet: Julian Norton to perform ‘most challenging surgery ever’ on Channel 5 episode involving bladder stone removal from hamster

Julian Norton will be performing one of his most challenging and delicate surgeries on the Channel 5 show The Yorkshire Vet involving the removal of a bladder stone from a hamster.

They thought all hope was lost for Milo, a young girl’s hamster, and Julian makes the decision that there’s nothing to lose by attempting surgery on The Yorkshire Vet.

For the surgery, he has to remove the bladder stone that has made Milo very ill and whether he can survive the anaesthetic is one of the biggest issues, with the whole team on tenterhooks in theatre and Claire nervously awaiting news back home.

Meanwhile, Matt Smith has an unconventional job too - TB testing a couple of badger cubs; they were found by a local protection group, who are hoping the results come back negative so the cubs can be rehomed down in Somerset.

Peter Wright rushes to an emergency at a local farm, where a rare breed ewe has given birth to one lamb already.

Farmer Ian thinks there are more inside her, but 12 hours later, there is no sign of them. After that high pressure task, Peter enjoys a relaxing Sunday on a charity tractor run - with the colourful convoy’s 25-mile route including a stop at Ripley Castle on the edge of the Dales.

Rohin Aojula visits a pedigree heifer called Bryony, who has an unusual, nasty looking lump near her teat.

With Bryony massively important to the success of Dilys and Tom’s small family farm, as their first venture into the Aberdeen Angus breed, Rohin decides to begin surgery in the barn.
