Rescue dog Homer had a bruise on his ear - now veterinarian Stephanie Petersen needs to check the bloody ear again. The ten-year-old Golden Retriever has already saved several lives on Sylt. He began his training as a rescue dog at eight months old, and he is now the longest-serving member of the pack. Stephanie Petersen then visits the rescue dog unit at the training grounds for a vaccination check. Simone and Kay Bahnsen immediately include Stephanie Petersen in an exercise, and an exciting search begins: Will rescue dog Homer find his vet? Ten-month-old hunting dog Milka is waiting with her owner, Sabine Hansen, at the Sylt veterinary practice. A change in the skin on her nipple is worrying the owner. She would prefer to seek veterinary advice again. Kitten Hope appears to have been caught under a combine harvester - the wounds must heal before surgery. A severely injured stray cat is brought to Dr. Tobias Neuberger's veterinary practice in Bernkastel-Kues. Dr. Yasmin Diepenbruck suspects she may have been caught under a combine harvester. Eva Geissler and Nicole Fickinger found the kitten in a field in very poor condition. Her paws are open and severely infected - the wounds must first heal before her ankles can be operated on. The finders are collecting donations for the surgery via Facebook. To save the life of the kitten, who has since been named "Hope," the medical duo is admitting her to the hospital. Stephan Schlawinsky counts the puppies in Fienchen's belly on an X-ray. In Boitze in the Lüneburg district, veterinarian Stephan Schlawinsky examines the plump, pregnant French bulldog Fienchen - but are the puppies in the right position for birth? And how many offspring can breeder Axel Nikutowski expect? Stephan Schlawinsky can count the puppies using an x-ray. Just a few days later, the time has come: the puppies are here. Stephan Schlawinsky immediately sets out to visit his neighbor Axel. Are all the puppies doing well? And another home visit is scheduled: Stephan Schlawinsky is to examine the 15-year-old Icelandic dog Lagsi after cancer surgery. A few months ago, the vet removed a tumor from his spleen. Now an ultrasound scan will determine whether the cancer has truly been defeated. Stephan Schlawinsky shares owner Jürgen Griffel's hopes and takes a thorough look with his portable ultrasound machine. Written by
