It isn’t 24 Hours in Emergency, but the emotions are just as high. In The Supervet, Noel Fitzpatrick performs cutting-edge surgery on animals which otherwise might have been forced to live with painful conditions, or worse, die. Fitzpatrick comes across as a sympathetic soul who cares for the pet owners as much as the animals themselves. Today, he helps a cat walk again by giving it a bionic implant. He also gives bone marrow implants to a great dane with deformed bones and discs to try to relieve the pressure on its spine. Ccompassion has no limits for Fitzpatrick.
