His owner, Björn Sievers, is to blame for this; he accidentally picked up the tomcat incorrectly and is now plagued by a guilty conscience. The X-rays prove: the base of the tail is broken. The vet immediately has a solution. A Pony Named Princess Has Fungal Problems The next patient doesn't even fit in the practice. Young Zoe Helmle has brought her pony, Princess. The mare struggles with fungal problems every year. Stephanie Petersen is preventing this with a fungal vaccination. Many young girls stick with their horses through thick and thin: Petersen explains why this is a good thing in the episode. The Neuberger Veterinary Practice in Bernkastel-Kues is also busy. Four small white puppies are bustling around the practice - and each of these Maltese and Bichon Frisé dogs has a unique name: Banon-Samira, Shakira, Jalabala, and Akudi-Lalu are the favorites of Marleen Houtmeyers and Jan Wiencke. Dr. Tobias Neuberger is their trusted doctor. For years, he has accompanied the Houtmeyers' pack through all their ailments. To prevent possible illnesses, the four puppies are vaccinated and checked. Dr. Yasmin Diepenbruck is appalled by the condition of reptile Hercules Dr. Yasmin Diepenbruck is currently caring for the emaciated bearded dragon Hercules. Kathrin Schmitz adopted the reptile from a very poorly maintained animal facility. Malnutrition and a much too small terrarium are clearly taking their toll on the bearded dragon's health. Hercules appears motionless and apathetic - Dr. Yasmin Diepenbruck is horrified. An X-ray shows that at least the bones are in relatively good condition. Hercules is receiving a bone-building injection and special food to help him get better soon. In Moosburg, Bavaria, veterinarian Dr. Sita Meinzer visits the local animal shelter to check on the animals. There, she encounters Ferby, a cat suffering from a congenital vascular malformation in his liver, which causes him to poison himself internally. The animal shelter cannot cover the high surgical costs, so Ferby can only be saved with donations. Dr. Sita Meiner initially prescribes medication to make his condition bearable for the time being. A few weeks later, the veterinarian meets Ferby again, who has since undergone life-saving surgery thanks to the successful donations. Dr. Sita Meinzer is more than relieved and surprised by how quickly Ferby's health has improved. Written by
