The Yorkshire Vet season 4 episode 10, titled "Home Visits," follows the daily life of veterinarian Julian Norton as he visits various homes in Yorkshire to check up on his patients. Julian is a beloved figure in the community, and his gentle demeanor and expertise make him a trusted source of healthcare for animals.
The episode begins with Julian's first visit of the day, where he checks up on two little donkeys who live in a picturesque field. He examines them both, ensuring that they are healthy and happy. Julian also checks up on a horse who has a wound in his mouth. He assesses the injury, cleans it, and provides the necessary treatment, giving the horse some relief from the pain.
Next, Julian visits a farm where he meets a newborn calf who is struggling to stand up and walk. The farmer explains that the calf has been having trouble since she was born. Julian examines the calf carefully, and diagnoses her with a condition called Joint Ill. He administers an injection and advises the farmer on how to care for the calf. The farmer is grateful for Julian's help and is hopeful that the calf will make a full recovery.
Julian's next stop is at a remote farm where he meets a lamb who has been unwell for a few days. Upon examination, Julian discovers that the lamb has a high fever and is not eating properly. He diagnoses the lamb with pneumonia, a potentially fatal condition for young lambs. Julian administers antibiotics and advises the farmer to keep the lamb in a warm area, monitor her temperature, and provide food and water regularly.
After a busy morning, Julian visits a couple who have a much-loved pet cat, Rosie. They are concerned as Rosie seems to be losing weight and is not her usual energetic self. Julian examines Rosie and diagnoses her with hyperthyroidism, a common condition in older cats. He prescribes medication and advises the owners on how to manage her condition. The couple is relieved to know that Rosie's illness is treatable and are grateful for Julian's help.
Later in the day, Julian visits a couple who have a pet guinea pig called Lenny. They have noticed that Lenny has become increasingly aggressive and is biting them. Julian examines Lenny and diagnoses him with an abscess in his mouth, which is causing him pain and discomfort. Julian drains the abscess and provides pain relief. The couple is delighted that Lenny is feeling better and is no longer biting them.
Finally, Julian visits a family who have a pet dog, Molly, who has always been a lively and friendly dog. However, in recent weeks, Molly has been acting strangely, and the family is concerned that she may be unwell. Julian examines Molly and discovers that she has a small tumor on her ear. He diagnoses her with a benign tumor and advises the family to keep an eye on her, but reassures them that Molly is otherwise in good health.
The episode ends with Julian returning home after a long day of visits. As he reflects on the day's events, he contemplates how much he enjoys his job and helping animals in need. The Yorkshire Vet season 4 episode 10 is a heartwarming and engaging look into the daily life of a veterinarian who is dedicated to helping animals and their owners.
