Great Dane, large lizard and lambing season

Great Dane nach urrainn coiseachd, Romain Pizzi le dearc mòr is Ealasaid Dick le caoraich. A paralysed Great Dane, Romain Pizzi tackles a large lizard and Ealasaid Dick is busy lambing.

Anns an t-sreath seo coinnichidh sinn ri lighichean-sprèidh bho air feadh Alba is iad ri frithealadh iomadach seòrsa beathach beag is mòr, peatail agus fiadhaich. Bidh sgeulachdan toileachais agus bròin pailt agus sinn a’ coinneachadh ris gach creutair beò.

An t-seachdain-sa, ann an Siorrachd Obar Dheathain tha Otis an Great Dane a’ dol fo lannsa. Tha builgean a’ bruthadh air nearbh an droma agus chan urrainn dha a chasan a ghluasad. Ach le cù anns a bheil seasgad ‘s a dhà cileagram de chuideam, chan eil e furasta dhan bheat Scott Rigg.

Aig Sù nan Còig Peathraichean, tha a’ bheat Romain Pizzi ag iarraidh dearc mòr, anns a bheil còrr air dà mheatair de dh’ fhaid, a dhèanamh cadalach airson sùil a thoirt air a bheul. Tha e fhèin is sianar eile a’ dol an sàs.

Agus, ‘s e àm breith nan uan a th’ ann ann an Uibhist agus tha Ealasaid Dick air an rathad gun sgur.

Otis the Great Dane faces serious surgery after suddenly becoming paralysed. With damaged discs pressing on his spinal cord, vet Scott Rigg has to perform delicate surgery, which isn’t easy on a 62kg dog.

At Five Sister’s Zoo, vet Romain Pizzi wants to anaesthetise Dali, a two-metre long Crocodile Monitor, so that he can examine its mouth. It takes a team of six to handle the lizard.

And, with lambing season in full swing in Uist, vet Ealasaid Dick is on the road from dawn to dusk.
