Heartland Docs, DVM

The Schroeders are put to the test with some unruly patients and unexpected emergencies. They castrate an aggressive alpaca, bring a mama dog back from the brink of death and save a horse from bleeding out after sustaining a grisly gash.

Drs. Ben and Erin Schroeder deal with a couple of critical cases in the clinic. First, they perform an emergency c-section on a cat that has been in labor for two days, and a horse with a wounded leg requires some creative care.

Despite challenging weather conditions, Drs. Ben and Erin Schroeder treat a wild bald eagle that needs immediate care before returning to the wild. The Schroeders also make a farm call to vaccinate a pair of emus and attempt to wrangle a pig with dangerously overgrown tusks.

While Dr. Ben tends to older horses, Dr. Erin investigates an elderly dog's mysterious shedding. Together, they give a frisky feline a makeover and treat a cow's serious eye infection. Later, the family squeezes in some much-needed family time as they set sail on their new boat.

Dr. Ben is thrilled to pass along tricks of the trade to the next generation while examining award-winning cows and repairing a turtle's busted shell. Meanwhile, when a kitten suddenly attacks its own tail, Dr. Erin jumps into action. Together with Dr. Ben, the docs aid a young calf with an extra appendage.

Emotions run high when the Schroeder family races their beloved dog to the clinic with an emergency. Meanwhile, a rancher is desperate to find relief for her 20-year-old horse that has difficulty walking, and Drs. Ben and Erin make sure a rescued raccoon knows how to fish.

The Schroeders have a full plate of flighty patients. Dr. Ben treats a duck with an injured foot, while Dr. Erin helps a stray chicken find a forever home. Then, they work together to help a puppy get back on its feet by splinting its broken leg.

The Schroeder's schedule is loaded with a variety of cases. The vets visit a sick cat at an antique store which leads to some vintage finds. They also treat a hawk with a life-threatening injury and then hit the trail after performing dental work on a group of horses.
