Supervet sucks - the format is: 4 animals in horrible pain, he heals 3 and the last dies. Emotionally manipulative bollocks. He even has a dog festival in Windsor Great Park every year - my ex forced me to go last year - pay £30 to see a few dozen stalls selling more dog stuff you don't need. Fucking gouging charlatan.

Made the mistake of watching The Supervet last night, mostly because the trailer featured a gorgeous-looking male Maine Coon. The missus is all a bit stressy and PMT but she sits to watch it with me. When it comes to the Coon, it turns out he's lame in his back leg, which turns out to be due to a cancerous tumour on his spine, which means losing the leg, chemotherapy and only about a 40% chance of success. His owner agrees it's too much to put an 8 year old cat through, and so poor Stouffie is euthanised. Cue floods of tears from the other half, and she has to go and fuss our own coonie for comfort. The she goes and Googles "average life expectancy of a maine coon cat" and finds out that it's around 10-12 years, maybe 15 max. Dizzy is 9 next March....
Probably wont be watching The Supervet again for a while.
