A little terrier named Anchor is carried into the V.E.C. due to a serious spinal cord compression that's preventing him from standing on all fours. Dr. Debbie James will need to determine if a herniated disc removal can restore Anchor's ability to walk. Then, a young farm dog named Major is in need of assistance when X-rays reveal wayward bone fragments in his elbows. Dr. Boyd will need to operate on the German shepherd to get him back to work. Later, Winston the bulldog comes to the clinic with "cherry eye," where his tear glands are improperly exposed. Dr. Gray is tasked with fixing Winston and preventing any deterioration of this playful pup's vision.
