At Highland Wildlife Park, vet Jane Harley rasps a kiang horse's teeth and trims a markhor's feet. She also wants to take some blood samples from a female bison, but it's quite a challenge for the team as the herd roams freely round the reserve, and they need to guard from the protective and fearsome bull. Meanwhile, at Vets Now near Aberdeen, vet David Mackenzie has to deal with a kitten with its head completely stuck in a tin can - a first in all his years of practice!

At the Highland Wildlife Park, vet Jane Harley has to trim the markhors' hooves, but catching them is no easy task. The keepers try a new tactic this time, but will it work?
