John Barrowman is back
on our screens on the 3rd November with a brand new programme that
looks at the work carried out by Glasgow University’s School of Veterinary
Medicine, one of the leading hospitals in Europe.
John posted up snippets
of videos about the work he was doing at the Small Animal Hospital on Twitter
and his Facebook Page during the summer of this year, including sporting a
large plaster on his cheek, which proves even further ‘never work with animals’. I wonder if we’ll find out how that was caused,
needless to say, no permanent damage.
In
Episode 1 – Shadow the Labrador and Dudley the Pig - John visits a greedy pig called
Dudley who loves food waaay too much, and meets a black Lab who has problems
with his back legs and causes much concern for his owners.
Episode
2 – Max, Lardy Labs and Rebellious Reptiles – Max the Spaniel has suspected meningitis; some heavy
weight Labradors compete to lose the most weight and John comes face to face
with some rebellious reptiles – (sounds like an episode of Torchwood).
Episode
3 – Nico and Oscar the Cat - Nico,
a Japanese Akita needs emergency treatment after colliding with his
brother. And can John help Oscar a podgy
moggy to lose a serious amount of weight?
Episode
4 – Cara the Collie and Mischief the Cat - Cara is a collie who comes to the hospital suffering
from breathing difficulties, and John meets Mischief the cat whose thyroid
problem requires a ‘radioactive’ solution.
Episode
5 – Hooligan Jack and Molly the Collie
- No this episode isn’t about John and his shenanigans as Captain Jack
Harkness, it’s a horse called Hooligan Jack who comes into the hospital with
hoof problems. Also, can a dose of
acupuncture relieve Molly the Collie’s stiffness?
Episode
6 – A Westie and Angus the Sheepdog
– (Possible hanky episode) A Westie with heart problems requires a high tech solution
and John becomes emotionally attached to Angus the Shetland sheepdog.
Episode
7 – German Shepherd Puppies and Alfie
– Alfie the boisterous chocolate Lab is making life difficult for the vets and
John is in his element when a litter of German Shepherd puppies need help with
being fed.
Episode
8 – Rocky the Rebel and Percy
– John attends a puppy party where he attempts to help train Rocky the
rebel. This should be
interesting!!! And a pony called Percy
has his life turned upside down.
And
in Episode 9 – Toby the Poodle and a Snake – John meets Toby the poodle whose funny walk has the
vets stumped. (Best not inform Captain
John Hart about this). And a snake proves to be a slippery customer when it’s
time for an X ray.
