Channel 4 The Supervet viewers say it's 'so sad' as Noel Fitzpatrick makes announcement

Channel 4's The Supervet: Noel Fitzpatrick is a staple for fans, so it was a sad evening when Noel confirmed on Thursday, July 11, that this would be the final instalment of the series.

In a challenging episode, Noel tackled a major surgery on a Caucasian shepherd dog named Odin. The dog was suffering from a severe condition where his misshapen vertebrae put intense pressure on his spinal cord.

Upon discussing with the owner, Noel levelled that Odin's condition, causing pain and hindering nerve signals to his back legs, was "as bad as it gets".

Moreover, the episode featured our heroic vet performing two surgeries on toy poodle Monty. After a hefty dog attacked Monty, he required a complex total hip replacement.

Few vets could carry out such intricate procedures at miniature scales. When the first attempt failed, courageous Noel led Monty back into surgery once again, reports the Express.

Meanwhile, husky-cross Maya received a prosthetic limb after surviving a train strike against incredible odds. Nevertheless, this emotionally testing episode signified the end of the series.

Through X, formerly Twitter, Noel shared a warm farewell while expressing gratitude for the viewers' support. His grateful message read: "Final episode of Series 19 of #Supervet on tonight on @Channel4 at 8pm. Thank you to everyone for your kind words and support, everyone involved in the making of the show hopes you enjoy."

After the final episode aired, viewers took to social media to express their feelings. One viewer commented: "So sad it's the last episode, it's been great to see you back on TV again, been looking forward to it every week. Going to miss seeing you Noel, hope we'll see you again soon."

Another shared their enjoyment, saying: "Love watching - sorry it's the last one! " Meanwhile, a third remarked on the emotional impact of the finale: "The Finale episode, undoubtedly trailing behind with meaningful tearjerker of unconditional bonding love. Let's all Trio successful outcome."

Admiring Noel's exceptional veterinary skills, another viewer exclaimed: "How do we get you a knighthood because you are the most amazing vet I have ever seen in my life! You continually blow me away with your bespoke implants etc.... FANTASTIC! ! ! ".
