The Yorkshire Vet season recap ahead of next series 10 episode on Channel 5

The second episode airs tonight at 8pm on Channel 5, so here's a look back at the last show and what to expect this time around.

The tumour would have certainly killed her if not removed, and the only way to do that was through a very complicated thoracotomy, which meant going in through the chest cavity.

Husband and wife team Julian and Anne worked together alongside two nurses during what show promoters called the show's most "dramatic surgery ever".

Thankfully, it was successful and viewers saw Nessie recovered at a follow-up meeting.

Speaking on the programme Mr Norton, 47, said: “Her owners are saying it's a miracle."

Eight-year-old Jack Hogg was featured on the programme with his 52 chickens.

He said: "I started off with a cockerel and two hens. They laid 40 eggs and then I built it up to 42.

"I wanted a pet. I used to have a rabbit but he sadly died and now I've replaced the rabbit with 52 chickens."

After some of the chickens fell ill, Mr Norton diagnoses his Silkies with sinusitis, which has spread up to their eyes and got very gummy, causing them to be shut.

He gives them some antibiotics…then recommends a bizarre treatment to do at home.

Mr Norton told the Yorkshire Post: "I suggested that he takes them in the bathroom to give them a sort of steam treatment. It's good for clogged-up mucus. Quite a lot of people have cats with this problem."

Lo and behold, young Jack took the chickens into the shower in an attempt to clear up their illness.

Viewers also met Richard, who bought his horse Vinnie to train and eventually ride.

He is keen to get Vinnie castrated in the hope it will make him easier to handle, leaving vet Peter Wright to do the honours.

Richard, however,was a little squeamish - but Vinnie was back on his feet in half an hour

The owner said said: "I'm pleased it's done, out of the way, once he's had a few days recuperating after this I will carry on with my job of getting him broken and riding away."

Mr Wright also attended an emergency in which a lamb was stuck in an ewe while giving birth, and has to remove an eye from dog Alice, who had developed a tumour.

Mr Norton treats a lhasa apso with a mouth tumour which other vets are said to have given up on.

He comes up with an alternative treatment in an attempt to save the dog's life, however.

The Boroughbridge-based vet also locks horns with an aggressive ram with a sore eye.

In Thirsk, Mr Wright - a trainee under Jim Wight, AKA James Herriot - treats a Shetland pony with a painful foot condition and a cow with a prolapsed uterus.

The Channel 5 programme is made by Leeds-based Daisybeck Studios.
