It’s the start of spring at the SSPCA Wildlife Rescue Centre – the place where orphaned and injured wild animals from all over Scotland find help from a dedicated team of vets and carers.

Former wildlife assistant April has been newly promoted to the head of the large mammals section and, with the other team members, she anxiously awaits the influx of orphans that accompanies the arrival of March each year. The first orphans to arrive are nearly always fox cubs and this year is no different, with a lone cub soon arriving.

The team decide on a Star Wars theme for this year’s fox names, and soon April is hand-rearing little Solo, with many others such as female cub Padme close behind. Solo thrives, but Padme manages to injure her leg trying to leap out of her enclosure. Luckily, specialist vet Romain is on hand to repair the damaged leg, and all the foxes are eventually returned to the wild.

In the seal unit, Kaniz is confronted by a dilemma with grey seal Concentration, who appears to have an inflamed flipper. Once again it’s down to miracle-worker Romain to heal the seal with the help of specialist surgery and a hi-tech, heat-sensitive camera.
