The clinic is going to the dogs as the vets have their paws full with this motley crew of pups. From limping labs and damaged danes to Pomeranian's with pimples and terriers with tooth trouble, the clinic is busy helping man's best friend.
Spontaneous blizzards and chill temperatures are complicating things at Pol Veterinary Services this spring, but that doesn't slow the team down. A late-night emergency keeps Dr. Pol at the clinic during a snowstorm while Diane copes with a power outage. The weather interruptions continue as Dr. Pol is called out to treat a first for him: a wild Sandhill Crane with life-threatening injuries.
Pol Veterinary Services has an exciting new addition to the clinic staff: Dr. Emily's husband, Tony! The team is grateful for the extra help as they receive a slew of difficult cases. A complicated calving in dangerous weather conditions, a dog with "swimmer puppy" syndrome, and a cow with a cut milk vein have the team running on all cylinders.
Neither rain nor snow can stand in the way of the team at the clinic. But this year, the weather is putting them to the test! Meanwhile, the veterinarians respond to an array of wild cases, including a huge, rambunctious boar with razor-sharp tusks, a near-fatal skunk attack, and a twisted uterus. Then, Michigan mud season kicks in and it seems nothing is working in the vets favor.
Broken toes, worm infestations, and nursing puppies send the clinic into a whirlwind. Dr. Pol and Diane are short-handed and Charles goes out of town at the last minute, so the Pols call in some backup. Dr. Pol and Diane's grandchildren, Adam and Rachel, hurry to help out. Stakes are high Dr. Emily performs two lifesaving surgeries on one of the worst cases she's ever seen!
Ho, oh, no! It is the holiday season in Michigan and Dr. Pol and his team make their patient list, check it twice, and treat those who are naughty, spotty, snotty, and nice! The clinic meets with a dog owner who suspects her dog ate Christmas lights and Dr. Pol rushes the young pup in for an emergency x-ray. Meanwhile, Dr. Emily rushes to help a calf with an enormous amount of fluid in its lungs.
The Pols have had Great Danes as pets for decades. Frija, the oldest of the Pol's Danes, sunbathes at the family lake house. At almost 10 years old, Frija is the "old girl" of the house. Unfortunately, Dr. Pol diagnosed her with bone cancer and has a tough decision to make.
As Thanksgiving draws near, Charles Pol shows his appreciation for the staff at the clinic. Meanwhile, the vets' tireless efforts and passion is on full display, leaving their clients — and their pets — ever so thankful.
Dr. Emily remedies a Frankenstein puppy, Dr. Elizabeth does her first solo farm call, and spooky circumstances bring in a cat riddled with bb pellets.
Before the Pols can relax and go work on their lake house, Dr. Pol must treat a wide array of clients including a camel, a bull, and hedgehog.
Dr. Pol handles an emergency calving, where a bone has cracked and fallen into the pelvis of the cow, blocking the calf's way out.
Hailing from Georgia, Dr. Elizabeth Grammer is the latest addition to Team Pol, and she's arrived not a moment too soon. Her first weeks bring big surprises and helpful lessons as she learns the ropes at Pol Clinic.
Bill calls on Dr. Pol because his 1,800-pound bull has been limping around. After a quick and very careful investigation, Doc realizes this burly bull simply needs a mani-pedi!
Spring is on the horizon in central Michigan, and with it comes new life. Calves and puppies are being born, and the Pols go all out to boost their peafowl flock!
Early springtime in Michigan means mothers, including Diane Pol, are being celebrated across the state! From a cow's dangerous breech birth to a very pregnant mare who escapes, the clinic will rest at nothing to nurture moms and their youngsters during this magical time of year.
The clinic gets cases of sick and injured pups, from constipated puppies to deadly diseases and nasty dogfights, but with Dr. Pol's help, these dogs will be back to chasing their tails in no time!
Unplanned pregnancies, long labors, mystery symptoms and power outages — the vets at Pol Veterinary Services have their hands full! While it's raining cats and dogs outside, the cats and dogs inside need help — even without lights and computers. With a little assistance from Dr. Pol and a lot of hard work from the staff, business carries on at the clinic.
The gloomy weather doesn't stop the crew from taking on a range of unique cases, including testy bulls, coughing pigs and wobbly reindeer. Once their work is finished, Dr. Pol and Diane take a little trip to Holland, Michigan. Reminiscent of Dr. Pol's home country where the two once lived together, Jan and Diane enjoy a day holding hands and laughing over the bright tulips.
After working hard throughout her pregnancy, it's just about time for Dr. Emily's maternity leave – but not before Dr. Pol and crew treat a slew of young animals.
A tough winter has finally broken in Michigan, and local animals are abuzz in the warmer weather. Meanwhile, Charles has spent the week preparing for his latest project — beekeeping!
Dr. Pol treats animals of all shapes and sizes. Yet there's still one thing even the incredible Dr. Pol cannot do with precision — get his colors straight. He may be partially colorblind, but that doesn't stop him from appreciating the finer details of life. So when Charles hears of a new technological breakthrough, he decides it's time to give his dad the greatest gift of all — the gift of color. Things aren't always as clear as black and white for this country vet!
Central Michigan is in the throes of yet another brutal winter, but the staff of Pol Veterinary Services remain undeterred — no matter the conditions, there are sick animals that need care, and these are just the vets for the job. The deep freeze of late winter has everyone feeling uncomfortable — but Dr. Pol won't let the temperatures stop him from taking on a new home improvement project.
The elements have never stopped the staff at Pol Veterinary Services from working their tails off — not even lots of snow and ice! They are in the midst of one of Michigan's toughest winters, but the team won't let the frigid temperatures slow them down. The clinic receives a call about an agitated cow at a nearby farm. The situation is not looking good for the cow, who recently birthed a calf. Will she even let Dr. Pol close enough to help her?
It's the dead of winter in Michigan, but the arctic temperatures can't stop clients from blowing into the Pol Veterinary Clinic — from Nugget the hedgehog who has a sticky situation, to Tiny the quarter horse who has a severely torn eyelid — and not snow, nor sleet, nor ice will slow down the Pol vet team when an animal's in need!
The leaves have changed and the first hints of winter appear in central Michigan. Dr. Pol and the PVS crew are still hard at work servicing the farms and small animal owners of Isabella County and the surrounding areas. Spitting llamas, a surly Scottish highlander, and a red heeler who had a run-in with a car are just a few of the surprises in store for these dedicated vets. As they zip through the unforgiving Michigan countryside in their trusty trucks, every day brings a new set of challenges—vehicle troubles included.
It's Dr. Pol's birthday—but before the celebrations can begin, there's a bevy of cases for the Pol Veterinary staff. From colorful parrots to a sick zebra, Dr. Pol's hands are full with this week's exciting cases! The first call of the day is from Gary Smith. He needs Dr. Pol to perform pregnancy checks on a whopping 86 cows at his farm! With the fighting and kicking, it takes hours to get all these cows accounted for. But with a lot of help from his right-hand man Charles, Doc gets the job done and is on to the next. Back at the clinic, Dr. Brenda and Dr. Emily are both looking after some troubled pups. Little Annie has a severely fractured bone in her leg. Dr. Brenda has to weigh all the options and determine what's best for this still-growing pup. Meanwhile, young Ayasha wants to be a doctor when she grows up. When she arrives at PVS with her new puppy for a checkup, she wastes no time in teaming up with Dr. Emily to give her best friend a clean bill of health. At the end of a long day, the Pol family surprises Doc with a birthday dinner. For a man whose plate is always full, the night provides some well-deserved relaxation and celebration!
It's another busy week for Pol Veterinary Services. Across town, there's a stalled labor at McConnell Farms, which gets doubly complicated after the team realizes the mother is birthing twins. Every minute is critical, especially with a twin calving, so Dr. Emily calls Dr. Pol for a little lesson on his way to handle it. Back at the clinic, Marshall the pig arrives with his new family. Marshall's feisty as can be, and with a squeal to match. His owner, Kassie, hopes Dr. Pol can figure out what's causing this piglet's tantrums. Over at the Michigan Renaissance Festival, Dr. Pol takes a look at the hooves of a limping horse named Maverick, a jousting giant scheduled to compete at that day's tournament. Will Dr. Pol be able to help this stoic steed in time for the show?
From gimpy goats to belligerent bulls, families all around are relying on Pol Veterinary Service to take care of their animals this summer. The first patient of the day is a loveable family pup who got a little too close to some farming equipment. With a few stitches from Doc Pol, he'll be up to snuff and playing with his family in no time! Later, a young girl arrives with her dad and her cat, Princess. Curiosity got the best of this cat when she managed to get a fishhook stuck in her leg—will Doc be able to rescue this Princess in peril? Later in the week, it takes the whole team of doctors to help an injured goat named Willie. Willie seems to have twisted his neck but that may just be a sign of an even worse illness. All the while, Charles has been tending to his newest baby—a little peachick named Drogo. With the help of Dr. Pol, Charles is becoming more and more like his father, with a flock of his very own.
It's another busy week for Dr. Pol both in the clinic and at home. Clients take matters into their own hands and our vets have a slew of do-it-yourself doctoring to repair. Dr. Brenda's got her hands full devising a creative treatment plan for Cash, a hyperactive blue heeler puppy whose owners had no choice but to create a makeshift splint for his broken leg. Dr. Pol sees some crafty DIY treatment himself when a client uses super glue to mend a gashed lip after his pug, Buddy, got into a fight and lost. While Dr. Pol deals with Buddy, the stakes are high for a beloved hunting dog, Sadie, as Dr. Brenda corrects a homegrown suture procedure gone wrong. As if they're not busy enough at the clinic, Dr. Pol, Diane and Charles embark on some ambitious home improvement projects at the lake house. There are no days off for the Pols … and that's just the way Doc likes it.
Runaways, adventurists, and escape artists—what's gotten into these animals around town? First, Dr. Pol is called in to assess two runaway bulls who've shown up at Tom Knoll's Farm. Across town, Dr. Emily is responding to a complicated emergency calving. It's going to take some repositioning to get this calf out, and Dr. Emily has to hustle in order to save both the calf and mother. Later, at the clinic, Dr. Brenda is helping Miss Kitty who's in with a problem that's making her young owner squirm! Back at their home, Athena and Donar get together and finagle their way out of the house – is there any stopping them? Will Charles ever catch up to these great adventuring Danes? Between canine hijinks, bulls on the loose, and an attempted kitten getaway, the Pol's sure have their hands full!
The staff of Pol Vet Services has one head-scratcher after another, from the peculiar to the downright bizarre. With over 19,000 clients, it's only a matter of time before the vets are presented with a unique case that they've never seen before. Dr. Pol leads the charge into uncharted territory. He devises a way to noninvasively remove penile carcinomas threatening a beloved horse, and advises a client on how to best treat her duck whose penis has prolapsed. Dr. Brenda also has her hands full with a herniated pig, and a beagle that has a brain-shaped vaginal polyp. Not to be outdone, Dr. Emily, the newest vet at PVS, completes her ‘first flip and stitch' LDA treatment on a dairy cow, treats a tongue-twisted horse, and delivers a deformed calf with no anus. All in a days work at Pol Vet Services!
The Isabella County Fair is just around the corner – which means Dr. Pol, Dr. Emily and Dr. Brenda are busy treating fair animals, making sure they are in tiptop shape for competition. Dr. Pol and Charles start the day tending to a fair pig, whose future isn't looking so fair after all. Will Dr. Pol be able to get this prolapsed show pig back in shape? Across town, Dr. Emily's up to bat, with a cow named Toro – who's abdominal hernia seems to be more than a hiccup on the road to winning the blue ribbon. Now it's Dr. Brenda's turn – there are two horn-y things on the heads of steers, Big Ron and Hannah, preventing them from getting fair-side.
It's no secret that Dr. Pol has a need for speed; in his stable of unique cars, the stainless steel DMC DeLorean is one of his all-time favorites, but much like his patients this week – a prolapsed 4-H pig, a duck with a mangled web, and a cow with udder issues – this iconic car needs some TLC.
Dr. Pol is fielding farm calls all over Isabella County now that the spring birthing season is in full swing. Dr. Pol is ready to catch whatever curveball a cow throws his way, but when the local minor league baseball team asks him to throw the first pitch, it comes right out of left field. He may not be a baseball pro, but Dr. Pol knows how to play hardball, and after practicing with Charles, he's going to show Michigan a first pitch to remember. But practice comes last when Dr. Pol still has so many farm calls to deal with first!
A swift kick from a horse forces Charles to sit out farm calls, so it's up to Diane to fill his coveralls.
It's all dogs, all day this week at Pol Veterinary Services! Dogs are an incredibly important part of the Pols' lives, as both personal pets and clients. From unclaimed strays to nosy farm dogs, there's no pup Dr. Pol and crew won't treat.
While the Pol clinic is packed to the gills with a mini-pig, giant bunny, pregnant dog, and a busted hen; the Pol's own family of animals is about to add one more pooch to the pack.
A pup with eye problems, a bird with a busted beak, and a trio of possibly pregnant alpacas start the day, but emergency after emergency keeps the entire clinic hopping well into the night on one frantic Friday.
Popeye the therapy rabbit comes into Pol Clinic with overgrown teeth but leaves with a couple of dates when his owner, Jodi, of nearby Hopewell Therapeutic Ranch persuades Dr. Pol to donate dinner with himself and Diane for her organization's auction fundraiser!
Dr. Pol certainly has a lot on his plate when a pit-bull is in for emergency surgery, a pair of pups run into a prickly porcupine, and Smoke the pet pig, is attacked; but Charles may have bitten off more than he can chew when he decides to enter the annual pancake eating contest.
The animals of Isabella County are getting antsy after such a long winter and they're up to more trouble than usual.
The Pol Clinic vets are up to their coverall collars in clients and the new vet, Dr. Emily, can't start soon enough as Dr. Pol juggles cases that send him out to help a horse combating colic, a rabbit that can't hop to it, and a working dog named Stitches, with possible head trauma.
Vets, calves and cats are all having a hard time after getting the cold shoulder from Jack Frost this winter. Farmers, livestock and pets work to adapt while Dr. Pol stays warm the only way he knows how — by keeping busy.
Horses are driving Dr. Pol wild as he works to fix chunky runny noses, gruesome gashes and even penile problems. He's always up to the challenge, but it's a horse of a different color when Dr. Pol is asked to deliver a commencement address to the entire graduating class of Central Michigan University.
Halloween-themed episode in which Dr. Pol tends to the needs of a variety of animals. Included: cows; sugar gliders; horses.
It's a full day for the vets when Dr. Pol wrangles a foursome of gutsy cows that refuse their pregnancy checks and Dr. Brenda deals with an after-hours emergency when Sisco the horse is down with colic. The two vets are always ready for action, but with the clinic understaffed and Dr. Sandra preparing to leave the practice, life at the Pol Clinic somehow found a way to get crazier.
Twas the week before Christmas and all through the farms, Dr. Pol is still working inside the red barns! It's beginning to look at lot like Christmas in Michigan as Dr. Pol heads to John Jourdain's for his first farm call of the day. Without a head chute, the set-up for these castrations is less than ideal - but nothing Doc Pol can't handle. It's clear these calves aren't willing to surrender without a fight. Meanwhile, Dr. Brenda races out to Rooftop Landing, where a reindeer named Ole is aching for a chance to pull Santa's sleigh. December tis also the season when reindeers breed, leaving this buck cruising for a mate, and on his feet almost all day long. This wouldn't be a problem if he didn't have a massive hoof abscess growing on his back right hoof. Will Dr. Brenda be able to get Ole's hoof healed up in time to join the reindeer games? The end of the week finds the Pols in the mood for some holiday cheer. With Dr. Pol and Diane as Grand Marshalls of the Farwell Lights Parade and Charles volunteering as Santa's helper elf - the family can finally celebrate the Christmas season together.
This Thanksgiving the birds are calling the shots at Pol Veterinary Services when Charles adopts three turkeys that are on the run. Then when Gail and Lynn Wernette find a pair of wandering Great Danes near their home, they bring them to the clinic. Thin and in poor health, these dogs are in need of some serious TLC, but Dr. Pol and Diane have a full house. The hunt is on for homes for these gentle giants. Later, it's all hands on deck when Capone, a horse with a nasty cut on its hoof, arrives in the clinic parking lot. It's an uphill battle as Dr. Pol wrestles with Capone, and calls for help from his owners to get the horse treated. It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without a meal shared with family and friends and everyone from the clinic gather for a traditional Amish Thanksgiving meal, taking a break from the business of work to enjoy one another's company.
The Pol Clinic is bursting at the seams with two-legged and four-legged traffic, and Dr. Pol and Diane are ready to expand. Cement mixers and cranes have the Pol clinic buzzing with anticipation for this latest addition. But on the road it's business as usual for the crew as Dr. Pol, Charles and Dr. Brenda tackle the problems of a feisty alpaca, a troubled twosome of dairy cows and a miniature donkey with a fungus problem on its feet.
Dr. Pol may be from the Netherlands, but there's no question his home is Michigan - as a vet or a church member, or a high school football fan, Dr. Pol and his family are very much a part of the Isabella County community. In honor of his dedication, Dr. Pol is surprised with an award in recognition of his work with 4H. But he has little time to celebrate before he's off to help Marshall Farms' castrate some of the newest members of their cattle herd while also working to curb a potentially disastrous pink eye outbreak at Finnerty Farms.
This week, the Pols go Dutch when a special visitor comes to town - Charles' uncle Jan is visiting from the Netherlands! Uncle Jan doesn't speak English and Charles is on a mission to learn enough Dutch to finally have a conversation with his uncle. Dr. Pol helps when he can, but he's got to stay focused on the job while dodging a feisty cow with a stinky foot problem and helping a down-cow taking a treatment that could kill it. Brooks, a puppy with a protruding hernia and Buddy, a Shih Tzu with a bulging eye who's seen better days, keep the clinic hopping until Uncle Jan is in Michigan. Will the conversation be lively or Charles find his attempts fall flat on Dutch ears?
This fall, love is in the air at Pol Clinic as Charles plans a surprise anniversary getaway for his parents. But the Pols aren't giving just their marriage some TLC; there are sick animals across central Michigan that need Dr. Pol before he can get out of town and celebrate 46 years of marriage with Diane. First up is a bellowing, bloated calf with a problem much worse than a bellyache. Meanwhile at the clinic, Dr. Brenda is dealing with a snarly dog that has a gnarly hot spot on his cheek. Still, every so often a client comes in that stops everyone in their tracks. Today it's a beloved family cat suffering from a severe gunshot wound. From dachshunds to Rottweilers, sore husky pups, and to an abandoned pit bull.
Dr. Brenda's 21-years working at the clinic is taken a look at. A horse receives help with weight management whilst a dog with a stomach wound is helped.
Dr. Brenda tries to save a calf with a dislocated hip. Dr. Pol helps a hedgehog and a retired stallion and then judges a chili-cook off.
Dr. Pol loves keeping it old school, but his son Charles is determined to teach this old vet new tricks by upgrading the computer system at the Pol Veterinary Services. However, Dr. Pol can't be bothered with motherboards when he's got a mare and her sick foal to deal with. Add escaping cattle, a wobbly dog that won't stop walking in circles and an alligator with an attitude to the mix, and you've got a perfect storm of Pol-manageable madness.
The county fair has come to town, and as the unofficial vet for the entire event, Dr. Pol is a busy man. At the clinic, Timmy the goat has come to see Dr. Brenda. She thinks he's got something blocking his esophagus and must rush to get it out or Timmy will die. The emergency cases keep piling in as Cooter the hound dog arrives at the clinic after battling it out with another dog.
Dr. Pol and Charles rush to save a mother mare and foal, but will it be enough? Next, the father-son duo race over to Marshall Farms for a few pregnancy checks. The farmers want to thank their favorite vet by giving him a chance to drive a victory lap in their brand-new racecar. But right as race time finally comes, duty calls and Dr. Pol has to make a pit stop when a dog with a badly slit neck comes into the clinic. Will Dr. Pol make it on time or will his racecar dreams be left in the dust?
Babies are everywhere as Dr. Pol, his son Charles and Dr. Brenda try to keep up with an onslaught puppies, kittens and calves, oh my! Amidst the birthing chaos, Dr. Pol and Charles must wrestle two 1,600-pound cows to the ground in order to operate on their twisted stomachs, a potentially fatal condition. Then, Charles's Great Dane puppy Athena has come of age and is in for a fix. But will a routine procedure present Dr. Pol with more than he can handle?
Father's Day is around the corner and Charles is busy scheduling a unique father-son camping trip. Dr. Pol and Dr. Brenda see a mountain of cases at the clinic. First is a wild cow with an injured hoof. The team works to find the cause of the pain and heal the frantic cow without landing themselves with an injury of their own. Next to be seen is poor Chubbs, a playful black lab suffering a mystery illness. Can Dr. Pol solve this puzzling case so Chubbs can go back to his old, happy self?
The summer season is in high gear at the clinic as life-and-death situations stream in. Dr. Pol and Charles visit Stough Farms and Farmer Bill is one happy camper when he finds out that two-thirds of his cows are pregnant! At the clinic, Dr. Sandra examines a goat that gave birth the previous night. Its concerned owners suspect there may still be another baby inside. Meanwhile, Dr. Pol is across town at the Mogg's, tending to a pig that is suffering violent seizures.
The first signs of summer are gradually creeping across central Michigan and Pol Veterinary Services is in full swing. Dr. Pol and Charles head to Gross Dairy Farm for an emergency call to help a feisty cow with a twisted stomach and a foul stench. Back at the clinic, Dr. Pol examines Ginger the goat and suspects it might have polio. Dr. Brenda receives an emergency farm call of her own -- a new heifer at Delbert Garrett's farm has a prolapsed uterus and is still straining post-labor.
Dr. Pol and Charles start their day by heading out to see a sick ox who has lost weight and is having trouble breathing. After an examination, Dr. Pol finds that the ox's lungs are in bad shape; most likely he's contracted pneumonia and it's so advanced, Dr. Pol is unsure if the animal will make it. Back at the clinic, Dr. Brenda sees Remington, a dog that has accidentally ripped the skin off the top of his back. Meanwhile, Dr. Pol and Charles head off to a farm to fix a castration gone wrong.
Spring is beginning to bloom as the animals begin to run wild. First on the doctor's list is mini-horse, Mateo, whose hormones have kicked in, making him go wild for the mares. The solution is to castrate Mateo to lessen the testosterone, but this turns out to be no ordinary castration. Then, Jezebel the cow is in distress and unable to birth her calf. Dr. Pol and Charles discover that she has milk fever and if not treated quickly enough, could slip into a coma, causing her and her calf to die.
The winter snow has turned into torrential rain, bringing a flood of farm calls to Pol Veterinary Services. In the pouring rain, Dr. Pol rushes out to Pohl Dairy to check on a normally docile dairy cow that is acting out of its mind. Meanwhile, Jacob the goat and Nellie the pig come in with their concerned owner, who's worried they are sharing a skin infection. And Pickles the chameleon has a cyst that needs Dr. Pol's astute eye to check it over.
After a long, cold winter, the animals of Isabella County are getting testy. Dr. Pol and Charles head out on a farm call to treat an angry bull with a deadly case of bloat. Dr. Pol must act quickly, or the bloat could block the bull's diaphragm and lead to death. Back at the clinic, a cat injured while birthing kittens inspires Charles to volunteer at HATS, the Humane Animal Treatment Society, whose goal is to keep the animal population in check by way of spaying and neutering animals.
It is birthing season in Michigan, which means Dr. Pol and his clinic staff have their hands full. After receiving an emergency calving call, Dr. Pol and Charles discover that a heifer is already in labor -- but is still out in the pasture. So before he can help her, they'll have to catch her! Meanwhile, Dr. Brenda gets an urgent call about a few sick piglets that were recently purchased for a 4-H project, and she must stop this potential pneumonia epidemic before it spreads even further.
As winter drags on Charles, Dr. Pol and the rest of clinic staff brave the frigid temperatures to keep animals healthy in the clinic and on the farm. The first stop is an organic farm where the owner recently lost two calves to a mysterious infection. Across town, Dr. Brenda is called out to visit a 10-month-old horse who has cut his leg badly on a rusty trailer. Later, Dr. Pol and Charles investigate two bizarre cases, both involving birth defects at the opposite ends of two young calves!
Roses are red, violets are blue, when animals go crazy, Dr. Pol knows what to do. For Dr. Pol, Valentine's Day means flipping a cow upside down to fix his stomach, de-worming a champion goose, and curing the relentless cough of Zev, the Siberian Huskie. Now, that's love. Inspired by Zev the huskie, Charles takes a shot at driving a sled dog team, but realizes that mushing isn't as easy as it seems. Meanwhile, Dr. Brenda dehorns a group of loud, but loveable pygmy goat babies.
After successfully handling a cow with a twisted stomach, a rabbit with overgrown teeth and a complicated foal delivery, Dr. and Mrs. Pol head off to their much needed vacation. Taking care of his patients is Dr. Brenda, who tends to Debo, a rambunctious escape artist dog who has broken his foot in four places. She also aids a cow that may have slipped on ice and a cat with a toy in its intestines. Eager to help, Charles goes on a farm call with Dr. Brenda to check on a baby goat with pneumonia.
Dr. Pol challenges Charles to take part in the local Special Olympics charity event, the Polar Plunge, where participants dive into an icy lake in the height of winter.Then, Dr. Pol races to a farm call to check on a horse that's showing irregular symptoms. Meanwhile, Dr. Brenda discovers a cow is having respiratory issues and has twisted its stomach. Finally, Dr. Pol must race out on an emergency farm call to young racehorse who has severely wounded his leg, jeopardizing his racing career.
As the temperature rises in Michigan, Dr. Pol heads to a farm to help a cow that needs calcium immediately-but if he doesn't administer it right, she'll die. Then, he helps a crippled horse that has been infected by the West Nile virus. Will he treat it, or is it too late? At the clinic, a beagle has been in labor for the past 18 hours. Dr. Pol knows that the babies are too big to come out own their own. His experience shines through as he performs an emergency cesarean section, saving her life.
Before Dr. Pol is able to enjoy the Fourth of July, he must take care of animals in need. Dr. Brenda prescribes anti-anxiety medications to a puppy so she can get through the fireworks. Then, they receive a visit from a very sick dog, Gabby. Dr. Pol isn't sure what's causing her distress and it's uncertain if she'll wake up in the morning. Then, Dr. Brenda and Dr. Sandra help a cow in labor. The calves are positioned upside-down. Will they be able to save them?
It's one of Michigan's hottest summers on record, and the sweltering heat is taking a toll on both Dr. Pol and the local farm animals. Dr. Pol and Charles hope to save a newborn calf with pneumonia, but the thick blanket of humidity covering the area makes their mission even more difficult. Meanwhile, Dr. Brenda and newcomer Dr. Sandra struggle to help a stubborn pig give birth on a brutally hot day.
We revisit Dr. Pol and his son Charles as they must solve a mystery -- 10 Angus steers have suddenly gone lame and are struggling to stand. A steer's kick can be lethal, and to treat the sick cattle Dr. Pol will have to stand directly in harm's way. Back at the clinic, we see a recent widow who is prepared to pay whatever it costs to save her late husband's dog after the pet swallowed a rock. The sweltering heat isn't the only thing causing Dr. Pol to sweat; he's preparing for a family reunion.
It's time for the Isabella County Fair, which culminates in the 4-H competition. Dr. Pol and his staff are busy tending to animals that need last minute checkups to make them eligible to compete. Dr. Pol, Charles and Dr. Sandra bounce back and forth between the fair and farm calls, while Dr. Brenda holds down the fort at the clinic to deliver a set of bulldog puppies. When Dr. Pol and Charles get in to a bidding war over a sheep at the fair, it's anybody's guess as to who will come out on top.
With more than 19,000 clients, Dr. Pol is stretched to the limit. To keep up with calls, he adds Dr. Sandra to the staff. A farm girl at heart with lots of large animal experience, Dr. Sandra treats a downed horse with lesions that make it nearly impossible to stand and nurse her colt. Elsewhere, Dr. Brenda is called to treat a bloated cow in critical condition. Without treatment the cow will die, but with one simple procedure, she miraculously has him off the ground and eating in minutes.
The flu takes the clinic by storm, but Dr. Pol and his staff must fight through it. Dr. Brenda struggles to find out what is causing a dog to be so abnormally lethargic. She learns from his owner that it's possible he was exposed to marijuana. Dr. Brenda is relieved that the dog will be back to normal in a day. Then an entire herd of cows are too thin despite being well fed. Dr. Pol thinks it's a lack of minerals, and is surprised to find the entire herd has come down with pneumonia.
Temperatures are blazing in Michigan and there are more farm calls than ever. The heat also brings more pregnancy checks and births, leading Dr. Pol and Charles to start their day by heading out to a stable to check the status of some horses. Meanwhile, Dr. Brenda heads to a ranch to vaccinate minihorses, but instead gets some screaming and kicking. By the time she's finished, Dr. Brenda is bruised and bleeding, but she never gives up when it comes to the health of their patients.
Dr. Pol and Dr. Brenda face another unpredictable week of diagnostics, treatments and surgeries. He visits a local breeder and frequent client to check on her limping horse, DooBee. Though DooBee isn't really a compliant patient, the doctor's tactics help him treat his old friend in no time flat. Across town, Dr. Brenda gets help from an Amish boy while treating his newborn foal. Charles and Dr. Pol deal with one of their most dangerous patients yet -- an angry cow separated from her calf.
The Pols are experiencing some unusual emergencies and the only explanation they can think of is the full moon. Dr. Pol and Charles head to a cattle farm to perform pregnancy checks. For the first time ever, all the cows they examine are pregnant! Back at the clinic, an X-ray of a dog hit by a motorcycle shows bruising, but no broken bones. Luckily, the dog is able to leave that day. Then Dr. Pol heads to treat a pig with a rectal prolapse - a dose of antibiotics will help alleviate discomfort.
With Mother's Day on its way, it is only fitting that Dr. Brenda successfully deliver twin calves on a farm call. Across town a horse breeder receives the good news that several of his mares are pregnant and can soon expect foals. Back at the clinic, Dr. Brenda struggles with a young dog that can't seem to keep anything in his stomach, while Dr. Pol treats a baby goat with an abscess on its chin.
In an enhanced episode we see it's another emotional day for Dr. Pol and his team that starts even before the clinic opens—in the early morning hours, Dr. Pol mistook a bat for a rotten banana peel and got bitten. He takes the bat to animal control to get it tested for rabies, and a positive result could endanger the health of his whole family.
Dr. Pol and his hard-working team have another packed schedule of farm calls and clinic appointments. A horse in rapidly worsening health and a hairless calf with a poor chance of survival take their toll on the team. However, their expertise and dedication is the result of a healthy newborn calf and a beagle that survives a serious neck injury. Another busy, emotional week only secures the fact that Pol Veterinary Service is in serious need of more help.
It's spring, the busiest time of year at the clinic. In order to keep things on track, Dr. Pol and his team have decided it is time to search for another veterinarian. Dr. Pol, his son Charles and a student from Iowa State who is shadowing Dr. Pol for the day head out to check on a downed cow at a nearby farm. After injecting the cow with calcium and phosphorus, the three go to a local breeder and trainer of racehorses to ensure that his animals are in good health for breeding.
We check back in to see how Dr. Pol and Dr. Brenda are juggling an explosion of patients. First, Dr. Brenda removes an abscess from a puppy. Then, Dr. Pol determines a horse's teeth are not aligned, making it difficult for her to chew. He quickly nips the horse's teeth, allowing her to comfortably chew her food again. Next, Dr. Pol discovers a sick cow not only has a fever, but is pregnant! Find out if Dr. Pol will be able to deliver the calf before it's too late.
We revisit a busy day as it begins with a clinic packed with animals and owners. First up, a dog that really does eat homework. With some anesthesia and a few quick moves, Dr. Pol safely removes the spiral metal from his gums. Later, Dr. Pol is busy with patients when the tornado sirens start blaring. The whole clinic, including pets and owners must head to the basement for their safety and ride out the storm.
A Boer goat has lost 50 pounds after refusing to eat. While examining the goat, Dr. Pol assumes the goat must have some sort of parasite. He confirms it is Coccidia–-a dangerous, one single-cell parasite that infects the intestinal tracts of animals.
Dr. Pol's next farm call requires him to take blood samples from a flock of sheep in order to test for OPP – Ovine Progressive Pneumonia, a progressive disease that is incurable and highly contagious. But it's not as easy as it sounds, Dr. Pol and Charles will have to wrestle the sheep before they can get the samples.
In another emergency farm call, Dr. Pol must treat a dairy cow with a Left Displaced Abomasum, or a twisted stomach which means that one of the cow's four stomachs has floated to the top of the abdominal cavity. Dr. Pol will have to perform a procedure to suture that stomach to the wall of the cow's belly.
Dr. Pol receives an emergency call from a client who finds her horse down and fears he may not make it. Suffering from a spinal cord injury, he decides to give the horse a cortisone shot. Will he survive? Dr. Pol's son, Charles decides to extend his visit to help his father with the work overload. His only request—to palpate a cow. But trouble creeps up when Dr. Pol and Charles perform an emergency futotomy, an intense procedure to extract two dead fetuses from a cow.
