Bondi Vet

Chris is at the Hunter Valley to check on one of the zoo’s oldest residents, Mal. The 30-year-old spider monkey has a huge lump growing inside his mouth that has started to bleed. Chris needs to examine the lump to determine if it’s an easily treatable infection or a life-threatening tumour. What’s the diagnosis for this much-loved monkey?

Chris travels to Thailand to work with a wildlife crusader. Edwin Wiek and his team care for hundreds of homeless animals, many of them victims of abuse. Urgent medical attention is needed for patients ranging from elephants to monkeys to a sun bear. Chris also witnesses what happens when Thailand’s desperate elephants run out of food and a place to live. It’s a touching and sometimes confronting

The Bernese Mountain dog is in a critical condition and his worried owner fears a tick or deadly snake bite, but venom-detection tests prove negative to both. Lisa is under extreme pressure to find out what is making the gentle giant so ill.

Chris is back at the clinic and his last two patients of the day are Bondi beauties. Their owner runs a grooming school specializing in ‘extreme styling’ and she’s certainly put her best work into her beloved pooches, which turn heads wherever they go.

Chris heads to Coffs Harbor to Dolphin Marine Magic where one of the greatest friendships between man and animal exists. Bucky the dolphin was rescued by best buddy and trainer Greg when he was just a baby. 42 years on, and the friendship is facing its toughest challenge.
