The Incredible Dr. Pol is a popular reality TV show that follows the life of Dr. Jan Pol, a veterinarian who has been practicing in rural Michigan for over 50 years. In the first episode of season 21, titled "A Hard Day's Bite," we see Dr. Pol and his team tackle a variety of challenging cases, from sick cows to injured horses and even a very angry dog.
The episode begins with Dr. Pol starting his day off with a visit to a local dairy farm. He assesses the health of the cows and provides some preventive care, such as vaccinations and deworming. However, one cow catches Dr. Pol's attention - she is pregnant and due to give birth soon, but something seems off. Dr. Pol investigates further and discovers the calf is presenting in an abnormal position, which can be dangerous for both the cow and the calf. Dr. Pol swiftly performs a C-section to safely deliver the calf, both of whom survive the procedure.
Next, Dr. Pol and his team receive a call from a farmer whose horse has sustained a severe injury. The horse's leg was caught in a fence and is now swollen and painful. Dr. Pol and his team evaluate the horse and determine that surgery is necessary to repair the damage. Dr. Emily, one of Dr. Pol's associates, performs the surgery while Dr. Pol closely supervises. It's a tense operation, but it is successful, and the horse is on the road to recovery.
Later, Dr. Pol and his team receive a call from a concerned owner whose dog has bitten off part of another dog's ear. The team rushes to the scene to assess the situation and determine the best course of action. The dog who was bitten is understandably upset and is lashing out, making it difficult for Dr. Pol and his team to take care of him. Eventually, they are able to safely sedate him and stitch up the wound. They also discuss behavior modification techniques with the owner to prevent future incidents.
Throughout the episode, we get a glimpse into the personal lives of Dr. Pol and his team. Dr. Pol's son, Charles, is getting ready to take his veterinary board exams, and Dr. Emily is dealing with the stress of being a new mom and balancing her work and personal life. We also see Dr. Pol's wife, Diane, managing the business side of the clinic and keeping everyone on track.
