Episode 4

Coin, cait is crodh ann am Barraigh, tìgear aig Blàr Dhruiminn agus coin an am Farfar. A tiger at Blair Drummond, the weekly vet visit to the Isle of Barra and dogs in Forfar.

Anns an t-sreath seo coinnichidh sinn ri lighichean-sprèidh bho air feadh Alba is iad ri frithealadh iomadach seòrsa beathach beag is mòr, peatail agus fiadhaich.

Aon latha gach seachdain, bidh bheat à Uibhist a’ gabhail am bàt-aiseag a-null gu Eilean Bharraigh. An t-seachdain-sa, tha David Buckland air an slighe agus tha gu leòr eus-shlaintich a’ feitheamh ris, eadar coin, cait, crodh is caoraich.

Ann am Farfar, tha Fiona Crowden a’ toirt cobhair do choin: cù-uisge le trioblaid na shròn agus westie le tachais na cluasan.

Agus aig Pàirc Safari Bhlàr Dhruiminn, tha bheat Ali Smith agus sgioba de ghlèidheadairean ag obair le Hope an tìgear. Tha iad airson ion-phlanntais a chuir innte gus nach bidh piseagan aice. Ach, le cat anns am bheil còrr air ceud cileagram de chuideam, chan eil sin cho furasta, agus tha e cunnartach.

This series takes viewers on a journey across Scotland following vets as they tend to animals from small to large to very wild. Stories of joy and stories of sadness as we meet all creatures great and small.

Once a week a vet from Uist takes the ferry to the Isle of Barra. David Buckland makes the journey this time and he has an assortment of patients waiting for him, including cats, dogs, cattle and a lamb. In Forfar, Fiona Crowden is treating dogs: a spaniel who may have something stuck in his nose and a westie with irritated ears.

And at Blair Drummond Safari Park, vet Ali Smith, with the help of a team of keepers, are anaesthetising Hope the tiger. They want to insert an implant in her to prevent her having cubs, but with a cat that weighs 100kg this is not an easy task, and it is fraught with danger.
