Bondi Vet

Dr Chris has received a call from Tim Faulkner at the Australian Reptile Park. One of the parks kangaroos has a nasty lump under its chin and Chris needs to make an emergency dash to the park to perform an urgent operation, that is made more difficult as the Roo is a mother with young joey.

“It doesn’t get much better than this” is one of the first things that Dr Chris says when a 4-week-old baby lion cub Zambi is brought into the Bondi Clinic. For safety reasons Zambi has had to be removed from her mother by carers Donna and Mandy from the animal welfare organization LOTL (Life On The Line) Rescue. Not only does the young lion require a medical check-up but she also needs a surrogat

Chris is in Cairns, a place he loves because no case is ever straightforward in the tropics, and he is not disappointed. His first case is to try to solve the mystery medical condition of Snoopy, a Jack Russell terrier, who at odd times suffers strange and potentially deadly attacks.
