It was Stephanie Petersen's birthday - her team wants to start the day with a leisurely breakfast with her. But that doesn't happen. The patients - as always - have priority. Sonja and Uschi Tons are very worried about their 15-year-old Havanese dog Joy, who has a suspicious lump in her mammary gland. Their kitten Jumah is also due to be neutered. The elderly dog Joy is already too old for an operation; the procedure would be far too risky. The island vet wants to use spider venom to prevent the tumor from growing. The high weight of the dog Smilla makes the operation difficult Smilla - a quail dog - has a heavy discharge. Veterinarian Alexandra Erbeldinger cannot find any precise clues as to the cause of the disease, even after blood tests and ultrasound. In such a case, it is advisable to remove the older dog's uterus. But Smilla is quite corpulent, which makes the operation difficult. Pupsi and Pupsi fight too much The parrots Pupsi and Pupsi, two lovebirds, are at loggerheads every day. Pupsi 1 is so stressed by his dominant partner that he hurts himself. Tina Wagner, the owner of the so-called lovebirds, can't stand to see this any longer and wants to re-socialize the two. First, bird expert Gerd Britsch has to clarify whether Pupsi and Pupsi are free of contagious diseases. Even birds that appear healthy on the outside can carry pathogens. Parrot disease is the most dangerous of all and can be life-threatening for the birds and even for humans.
