In the first case, Dr. Pol and Dr. Emily work on a young calf with pneumonia.

They decide to separate the calf from its mother and hand feed it with a bottle, hoping that this will help the calf recover. As they monitor the calf's progress, they must also keep a close eye on the mother cow, who is showing signs of distress.

Next, Dr. Pol and Dr. Brenda take on a case involving a dog with a mysterious lump on its leg. They suspect the lump may be cancerous, so they must remove it as soon as possible.
