Julian Norton, the well-known vet from Channel 5's The Yorkshire Vet, was seen treating a Dalmatian named Bobbin for a painful eye ulcer in Tuesday's episode. The dog's owner expressed anxiety as Bobbin underwent a procedure to remove dead cells from her cornea.
During the consultation, Norton noted that the ulcer had persisted despite the owner's diligent application of eye drops. 'Corneal ulcers are really painful,' he explained, adding that the ulcer was deep and required debridement using a diamond burr, which acts like a pumice stone to remove dead cells.
The owner, waiting outside, admitted feeling emotional. 'I just hope, fingers crossed, that it does the trick,' she said. A preview clip posted on Instagram revealed that Bobbin is the first Dalmatian to appear in the series' 10-year history.
The Yorkshire Vet, which first aired in 2015, follows vets Julian Norton and Peter Wright as they care for animals in Yorkshire. The show has broadcast 22 series and continues to attract a loyal audience.
