Cows, especially
with large horns,
180
00:06:40,267 --> 00:06:42,667
can be very dangerous
very quickly.

kick at us ever,
191

a side we don't see.
192
00:07:04,758 --> 00:07:06,625
This is our bull calf.
193
00:07:06,627 --> 00:07:07,893

away from them.

KATIE: She had to jump

203
00:07:20,507 --> 00:07:22,374

DR. LISA: Alright, little one.
206
00:07:25,712 --> 00:07:28,713
Surprisingly, the youngest
member of the family
207
00:07:28,715 --> 00:07:31,116

208
00:07:31,118 --> 00:07:33,452
She's got a few crackles
here and there, too.
209

KATIE: Okay.
210
00:07:35,255 --> 00:07:38,323
DR. LISA: Alright, now let's go
look at the miniature horses.
211
00:07:38,325 --> 00:07:40,325
There aren't really any viruses
212
00:07:40,327 --> 00:07:43,929
that cows and horses pass
back between each other.

DR. LISA: Oh, my goodness.
215
00:07:47,601 --> 00:07:49,868
There's definitely
some bacterial pathogens
216
00:07:49,870 --> 00:07:51,202
that could be hanging about
217
00:07:51,204 --> 00:07:53,939
causing issues
with all of the animals.
218
00:07:53,941 --> 00:07:57,542
I can hear like a little bit
of like a slight raspiness,
219
00:07:57,544 --> 00:08:01,079
but it's not anything
like a crackly pneumonia.
220
00:08:01,081 --> 00:08:03,414
So mild upper respiratory
infections
221
00:08:03,416 --> 00:08:06,151
can definitely develop
into more severe pneumonias
222
00:08:06,153 --> 00:08:08,219
if we don't do anything
about them.
223
00:08:08,221 --> 00:08:09,354
But the positive signs,
224
00:08:09,356 --> 00:08:12,090
nobody seems to have really
an elevated temperature,
225
00:08:12,092 --> 00:08:14,959
so I think it's pretty mild,
whatever is going on.
226
00:08:14,961 --> 00:08:18,363
Antibiotics are the treatment.
227
00:08:18,365 --> 00:08:19,497
Hi, missy.
228
00:08:19,499 --> 00:08:21,433
I think it's
a really great thing
229
00:08:21,435 --> 00:08:24,035
that Katie called us
early in the process.
230
00:08:24,037 --> 00:08:25,036
Okay.

The infection is all over
in those tissues.
542

Anytime there's bone exposure
to a wound,
543
00:20:16,282 --> 00:20:19,217
that means that infection
can spread very quickly
544

692
00:26:11,170 --> 00:26:12,703
CARA: When Great Danes
are real big like that,
693
00:26:12,705 --> 00:26:14,905
a lot of times they
can have heart problems.
694
00:26:14,907 --> 00:26:16,173
DR. POL: Come on.
695
00:26:16,175 --> 00:26:18,842
CARA: I'm very scared
that his heart is going out.
696
00:26:26,402 --> 00:26:28,202
DR. POL: Hi, you big guy.
697
00:26:28,204 --> 00:26:31,805
Cara is a good person
that breeds Danes.
698
00:26:31,807 --> 00:26:34,207
Every dog is sick today.
699
00:26:34,209 --> 00:26:37,544
And she's had a lot of pups.
700
00:26:37,546 --> 00:26:38,746
You're like a horse.
701
00:26:38,748 --> 00:26:41,081
CARA: Rebel is over 200 pounds.
702
00:26:41,083 --> 00:26:45,619
And with real large breeds,
a major concern is their heart.
703
00:26:45,621 --> 00:26:47,955
And I've just been
really, really scared.
704
00:26:47,957 --> 00:26:50,824
DR. POL: If it was
a congenital heart disease,
705
00:26:50,826 --> 00:26:54,762
some heart defect,
then we couldn't do anything.
706
00:26:54,764 --> 00:26:56,630
His temperature's high.
707
00:26:56,632 --> 00:26:59,566
So we know there is
an infection going on.
708
00:26:59,568 --> 00:27:02,703
You hardly can hear his heart,
709
00:27:02,705 --> 00:27:05,839
because he,
his lungs are so bad.
710
00:27:05,841 --> 00:27:07,507
Here. Listen.
711
00:27:07,509 --> 00:27:08,976
Listen to those bad lungs.
712
00:27:08,978 --> 00:27:11,712
I let her listen to the lungs.
713
00:27:11,714 --> 00:27:13,514
That's way too much noise.
714
00:27:13,516 --> 00:27:16,450
They don't sound good.
715
00:27:16,452 --> 00:27:17,851
This is pneumonia.
716
00:27:17,853 --> 00:27:18,852
CARA: Mm-hmm.
717
00:27:18,854 --> 00:27:20,787
DR. POL: How in the heck
did he get that?
718
00:27:20,789 --> 00:27:22,255
CARA: I don't know.
DR. POL: I don't know, either.
719
00:27:22,257 --> 00:27:23,390
CARA: He hasn't been anywhere.
720
00:27:23,392 --> 00:27:26,660
DR. POL: Has to be the weather.
This crazy weather.
721
00:27:26,662 --> 00:27:29,129
It's hot one day, cold the next.
722
00:27:29,131 --> 00:27:30,998
We can put a coat on
and take a coat off.
723
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,733
These dogs cannot.
724
00:27:32,735 --> 00:27:34,801
You know, they do not sweat.
725
00:27:34,803 --> 00:27:37,938
They have to pant in order
to get rid of the heat,
726
00:27:37,940 --> 00:27:41,208
and that sometimes
then causes pneumonia.
727
00:27:41,210 --> 00:27:43,344
Well, we should be able
to fix that.
728
00:27:43,346 --> 00:27:47,214
Pneumonia's still not good news,
but it's treatable.
729
00:27:47,216 --> 00:27:49,683
We'll try to get him
better in a hurry.
730
00:27:49,685 --> 00:27:52,419
CARA: I'm really sad
that he's sick at all,
731
00:27:52,421 --> 00:27:55,822
but I'm just so glad
that it's not his heart.
732
00:27:55,824 --> 00:27:58,092
DR. POL: Good boy.
CARA: Good boy.
733
00:27:58,094 --> 00:28:01,128
DR. POL: Rebel should get
over this and be alright.
734
00:28:06,302 --> 00:28:07,701
NARRATOR: A few days ago,
735
00:28:07,703 --> 00:28:10,704
Dr. Nicole had to
remove Kiki's leg
736
00:28:10,706 --> 00:28:14,174
after it was mangled
in an accident.
737
00:28:14,176 --> 00:28:17,644
DR. NICOLE: I am very excited
to reunite Kiki with Mercede.
738
00:28:17,646 --> 00:28:19,580
Kiki has been a great patient.
739
00:28:19,582 --> 00:28:21,315
Hi!
740
00:28:21,317 --> 00:28:22,783
Is this your kitty cat?
741
00:28:22,785 --> 00:28:24,184
SOPHIE: Yeah.
DR. NICOLE: Yes?
742
00:28:24,186 --> 00:28:26,120
MERCEDE: I brought my daughter
Sophie with me today.
743
00:28:26,122 --> 00:28:29,056
DR. NICOLE: So now he only has
three legs and he's doing great.
744
00:28:29,058 --> 00:28:31,391
MERCEDE: Kiki looks amazing.
745
00:28:31,393 --> 00:28:34,594
DR. NICOLE: He is very friendly,
he's a very nice kitty.
746
00:28:34,596 --> 00:28:36,396
Prognosis for Kiki is great,
747
00:28:36,398 --> 00:28:38,265
he'll be hopping around
just like Tater.
748
00:28:38,267 --> 00:28:41,602
DR. POL: Tater,
what are you doing?
749
00:28:41,604 --> 00:28:43,804
DR. NICOLE: He's very happy
to go home with you guys.
750
00:28:43,806 --> 00:28:45,272
MERCEDE: Oh, my goodness,
thank you, guys, so much.
751
00:28:45,274 --> 00:28:46,473
DR. NICOLE: You're welcome.
752
00:28:46,475 --> 00:28:48,608
MERCEDE:
I think he's gonna do great.
753
00:28:48,610 --> 00:28:50,277
He got a new chance at life.
754
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:52,479
(door chime)
755
00:28:57,153 --> 00:28:59,286
MATTHEW: Come here, BB!
756
00:28:59,288 --> 00:29:01,888
I brought BB into
the Pol Veterinary Clinic
757
00:29:01,890 --> 00:29:06,960
because the neighbor's dog came
out and pinched him on the neck.
758
00:29:06,962 --> 00:29:09,296
And it got infected real bad.
759
00:29:09,298 --> 00:29:14,301
Dr. Lisa recommended antibiotics
for him, and it was great.
760
00:29:14,303 --> 00:29:16,103
It worked so perfect.
761
00:29:16,105 --> 00:29:19,439
It was nasty, and you
could barely see it.
762
00:29:19,441 --> 00:29:23,510
I got my happy little boy back,
his fur is growing back in.
763
00:29:23,512 --> 00:29:26,180
Come on, come on!
764
00:29:26,182 --> 00:29:29,850
BB's everything to me.
He's basically my son.
765
00:29:29,852 --> 00:29:31,785
No, he is my son.
766
00:29:31,787 --> 00:29:33,787
He's my big little baby.
767
00:29:33,789 --> 00:29:35,656
And I love him so much.
768
00:29:35,658 --> 00:29:37,324
Good boy!
769
00:29:40,796 --> 00:29:43,197
COREY: Skye is
a German shepherd,
770
00:29:43,199 --> 00:29:44,998
she's been shaking
her ears nonstop
771
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,733
for the last couple weeks.
772
00:29:46,735 --> 00:29:48,935
Today she kind of
bounced sideways
773
00:29:48,937 --> 00:29:51,605
after she was shaking her head.
774
00:29:51,607 --> 00:29:53,140
DR. POL: Winnie's, how are you?
775
00:29:53,142 --> 00:29:54,341
COREY: Good, and you?
776
00:29:54,343 --> 00:29:56,009
DR. POL: Sun shines.
What's new?
777
00:29:56,011 --> 00:29:57,611
COREY: I brought Skye in
today because...
778
00:29:57,613 --> 00:29:58,812
DR. POL: Hey!
779
00:29:58,814 --> 00:30:02,282
Some German shepherds
are a little scared.
780
00:30:02,284 --> 00:30:04,084
Come on in, we'll put
a muzzle on him.
781
00:30:04,086 --> 00:30:08,288
DR. POL: Skye is just
a little too scared, basically,
782
00:30:08,290 --> 00:30:10,824
and that is dangerous.
783
00:30:10,826 --> 00:30:12,092
(growling)
KAYLA: No.
784
00:30:12,094 --> 00:30:14,695
DR. POL: See what I mean?
785
00:30:14,697 --> 00:30:17,431
There's no need for that
when I try to help.
786
00:30:20,102 --> 00:30:21,568
Yeah, he's got...
(dog yelps)
787
00:30:21,570 --> 00:30:24,037
he has a very chronic
ear infection.
788
00:30:24,039 --> 00:30:25,372
COREY: Okay.
789
00:30:25,374 --> 00:30:29,510
DR. POL: See the thing is,
a dog's ear goes down and in.
790
00:30:29,512 --> 00:30:30,511
COREY: Okay.
791
00:30:30,513 --> 00:30:32,179
DR. POL: The eardrum
you can't reach.
792
00:30:32,181 --> 00:30:33,246
COREY: Yeah.
793
00:30:33,248 --> 00:30:34,915
DR. POL: 'Cause you cannot
go around the corner.
794
00:30:34,917 --> 00:30:36,183
COREY: Yep.
795
00:30:36,185 --> 00:30:38,719
DR. POL: But the problem is
that here is infection also.
796
00:30:38,721 --> 00:30:42,322
So the infection that's here
you don't get out very easily.
797
00:30:42,324 --> 00:30:46,126
I like to treat the ear,
not too much in there.
798
00:30:46,128 --> 00:30:47,194
See how much?
799
00:30:47,196 --> 00:30:48,061
COREY: Yep.
800
00:30:48,063 --> 00:30:49,262
DR. POL: That's all.
801
00:30:49,264 --> 00:30:54,201
But really massage the ear
so the antibiotic gets in
802
00:30:54,203 --> 00:30:57,671
all the grooves
and crevices in the skin.
803
00:30:57,673 --> 00:31:00,207
So rub it for 30 seconds.
804
00:31:00,209 --> 00:31:01,141
Once a day.
805
00:31:01,143 --> 00:31:02,809
COREY: Okay.
806
00:31:02,811 --> 00:31:04,477
DR. POL: For 10 days.
807
00:31:04,479 --> 00:31:06,546
It'll feel better
in a minute, buddy.
808
00:31:06,548 --> 00:31:09,683
Then you can get rid
of the infection.
809
00:31:09,685 --> 00:31:11,084
Don't bite.
810
00:31:12,888 --> 00:31:15,288
Yeah, he's, he like--
You feed him right?
811
00:31:15,290 --> 00:31:16,690
(laughter)
812
00:31:16,692 --> 00:31:18,358
Come here.
813
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,294
Yeah, look at that.
814
00:31:20,296 --> 00:31:23,163
COREY: Skye made it through,
and Doc Pol made it through,
815
00:31:23,165 --> 00:31:26,567
and I'm very relieved.
816
00:31:26,569 --> 00:31:29,236
Skye is gonna go home
and be better.
817
00:31:29,238 --> 00:31:33,573
(panting)
818
00:31:33,575 --> 00:31:36,310
PHOEBE: We were moving some
horses around on the farm today
819
00:31:36,312 --> 00:31:38,378
and we put Hank in his stall,
820
00:31:38,380 --> 00:31:40,514
and he didn't
like that very much
821
00:31:40,516 --> 00:31:43,317
and at some point
he cut this hoof.
822
00:31:43,319 --> 00:31:44,784
DR. LISA: I'll have you
back him out,
823
00:31:44,786 --> 00:31:45,919
and I can take a closer look.
824
00:31:45,921 --> 00:31:47,254
PHOEBE: Yeah, sure.
825
00:31:47,256 --> 00:31:48,655
Step, step!
826
00:31:48,657 --> 00:31:50,991
DR. LISA: The laceration
is pretty jagged.
827
00:31:50,993 --> 00:31:52,392
That's impressive.
828
00:31:52,394 --> 00:31:54,928
At first glance it's really
difficult to be able to say
829
00:31:54,930 --> 00:31:57,497
if I'm going to be able
to close this injury at all.
830
00:32:04,390 --> 00:32:06,456
DR. LISA: Ooh.
831
00:32:06,458 --> 00:32:08,659
I'm not sure that I'm gonna
be able to suture it all
832
00:32:08,661 --> 00:32:10,460
just 'cause it's like, right...
833
00:32:10,462 --> 00:32:12,996
PHOEBE: Right.
834
00:32:12,998 --> 00:32:15,265
Just the fact that it's still
bleeding and it hasn't stopped,
835
00:32:15,267 --> 00:32:17,868
it hasn't clotted yet's
a little bit worrisome.
836
00:32:17,870 --> 00:32:18,868
Ho.
837
00:32:18,870 --> 00:32:21,471
DR. LISA: Hank is
a little bit uncomfortable
838
00:32:21,473 --> 00:32:23,674
with me handling his foot.
839
00:32:23,676 --> 00:32:25,409
PHOEBE: He did not
appreciate that.
840
00:32:25,411 --> 00:32:27,878
Hank is fun to be around
most of the time,
841
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:32,749
but every once in a while
he, he's a little opinionated.
842
00:32:32,751 --> 00:32:34,084
DR. LISA: Getting that
cleaned off well,
843
00:32:34,086 --> 00:32:35,352
we'll be able to get
a better idea,
844
00:32:35,354 --> 00:32:36,953
but I don't think he's gonna
let me do that without...
845
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,022
PHOEBE: I agree.
DR. LISA: some drugs.
846
00:32:39,024 --> 00:32:40,557
We're gonna use
a little bit of sedation
847
00:32:40,559 --> 00:32:42,759
so I can get a better look.
848
00:32:42,761 --> 00:32:45,829
PHOEBE: Hank is used for
the equestrian team this year,
849
00:32:45,831 --> 00:32:48,098
and he does quite a bit
of lesson work.
850
00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:49,566
(horse grunts)
851
00:32:49,568 --> 00:32:53,837
Hank has a pretty busy schedule,
he does lots of stuff for us.
852
00:32:53,839 --> 00:32:55,305
DR. LISA: There isn't
really even a flap,
853
00:32:55,307 --> 00:32:57,173
it's just like
a straight slice in there.
854
00:32:57,175 --> 00:32:58,241
PHOEBE: Okay.
855
00:32:58,243 --> 00:33:00,711
DR. LISA: There's like
two parallel ones, I think.
856
00:33:00,713 --> 00:33:02,179
Once I have him sedated,
857
00:33:02,181 --> 00:33:05,382
I'm starting to do
a little bit of local blocking
858
00:33:05,384 --> 00:33:08,251
to make the area less painful.
859
00:33:08,253 --> 00:33:12,655
Hank still has plenty of ability
to give me a pretty good kick.
860
00:33:12,657 --> 00:33:14,257
I think I could probably get...

863
00:33:17,529 --> 00:33:19,596
I'm gonna clean up
the wound really well,

really anything about.
867
00:33:24,536 --> 00:33:26,870
But I can put one
in this smaller one.
868
00:33:26,872 --> 00:33:32,409
And then put some skin sutures
in to close the wound up.

870
00:33:33,612 --> 00:33:35,145
Okay, I'm gonna put another,
871
00:33:35,147 --> 00:33:37,080
'cause it's still
kind of bleeding here.
872
00:33:37,082 --> 00:33:39,416
Just for a little
extra security.
873
00:33:39,418 --> 00:33:41,751
I'm gonna put a bandage
on there, too,
874
00:33:41,753 --> 00:33:44,220
just for compression.

DR. LISA: Okay.
877
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,225
Probably just a couple days,
878
00:33:49,227 --> 00:33:51,294
'cause I think it's only gonna
be sore for a little while.
879
00:33:51,296 --> 00:33:53,830
It's not too large of a wound,
but just to be nice.
880
00:33:53,832 --> 00:33:55,698
I think with the cleaning
and the sutures,
881
00:33:55,700 --> 00:33:59,102
this injury should
heal up just fine.

is to take a feel

00:39:08,363 --> 00:39:12,565
and try and figure out which
parts of the baby are where
1025
00:39:12,567 --> 00:39:14,634

1026

It's got its head
twisted up sideways.
1027

The baby's head was kind of
twisted around sideways

DR. LISA: In order to get
the head to come forward,
1033
00:39:28,783 --> 00:39:32,518
I had to push the baby
away from me,
1034
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,722
without putting too much strain
on the side of her uterus.
1035
00:39:35,724 --> 00:39:37,257
I don't think
it's alive anymore.
1036
00:39:37,259 --> 00:39:38,725
BILLY: Yeah,
I wouldn't think so.
1037
00:39:38,727 --> 00:39:41,261
DR. LISA:
From the smell on my glove,
1038
00:39:41,263 --> 00:39:44,263
it smelled like the baby
was probably dead.
1039
00:39:44,265 --> 00:39:45,265
We're getting there,
1040
00:39:45,267 --> 00:39:47,067
I just don't want to push
anything too hard.
1041
00:39:47,069 --> 00:39:48,134
BILLY: Sure.
1042
00:39:48,136 --> 00:39:49,802
DR. LISA: Now that I know
that the baby is dead
1043
00:39:49,804 --> 00:39:51,671
and there's not really
any hope for that life.
1044
00:39:51,673 --> 00:39:53,540
BILLY: That's a bummer.
DR. LISA: Yeah.
1045
00:39:53,542 --> 00:39:55,608
BILLY: Sometimes that's
just what happens.
1046
00:39:55,610 --> 00:39:59,946
DR. LISA: The biggest risks are
some pretty severe infections.
1047
00:39:59,948 --> 00:40:02,081
BILLY: That is no fun,
is it, kid?
1048
00:40:02,083 --> 00:40:03,216
DR. LISA: The first thing is
1049
00:40:03,218 --> 00:40:06,820
to get that source of infection
out of the mare...
1050
00:40:06,822 --> 00:40:08,087
You're okay, sweetheart.
1051
00:40:08,089 --> 00:40:10,890
without causing any damage
to her uterus.
1052
00:40:10,892 --> 00:40:12,092
(neighs)
1053
00:40:12,094 --> 00:40:15,828
So, just being really gentle
and taking things super slow.
1054
00:40:15,830 --> 00:40:16,829
Poor girl.
1055
00:40:16,831 --> 00:40:18,031
BILLY: Yeah.
1056
00:40:18,033 --> 00:40:21,968
DR. LISA: Being fast can be kind
of a life-ending situation here,
1057
00:40:21,970 --> 00:40:24,971
so it just takes
a lot of patience.
1058
00:40:24,973 --> 00:40:26,706
So it might have just died
a little early
1059
00:40:26,708 --> 00:40:27,707
and been deformed.
1060
00:40:27,709 --> 00:40:28,708
BILLY: That's what I'm thinking,
1061
00:40:28,710 --> 00:40:30,843
yeah, it looks
a little underdeveloped.
1062
00:40:30,845 --> 00:40:32,912
DR. LISA: It's got to feel nice
to have that out of you.
1063
00:40:32,914 --> 00:40:34,180
BILLY: Mm-hmm.
1064
00:40:34,182 --> 00:40:36,850
DR. LISA: There is a risk
of some uterine infection.
1065
00:40:36,852 --> 00:40:38,718
BILLY: Sure.
1066
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:40,987
DR. LISA: I want to flush out
all the juices
1067
00:40:40,989 --> 00:40:42,122
remaining in the uterus
1068
00:40:42,124 --> 00:40:46,392
so that they aren't there
to cause infection,
1069
00:40:46,394 --> 00:40:48,594
and then protecting her
against infection
1070
00:40:48,596 --> 00:40:50,062
with some antibiotics as well.
1071
00:40:50,064 --> 00:40:52,332
(pumping)
1072
00:40:52,334 --> 00:40:56,002
Oh, yep, we are good.
1073
00:40:56,004 --> 00:40:59,205
And also gonna give her
some oxytocin.
1074
00:40:59,207 --> 00:41:00,340
BILLY: Okay.
1075
00:41:00,342 --> 00:41:01,608
DR. LISA: And that oxytocin
1076
00:41:01,610 --> 00:41:03,343
is gonna help push
the rest of that stuff out.
1077
00:41:03,345 --> 00:41:05,278
BILLY: Okay.
1078
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:06,479
We might not breed her anymore.
1079
00:41:06,481 --> 00:41:08,481
DR. LISA: Yeah, that
might not be a bad idea.
1080
00:41:08,483 --> 00:41:10,283
BILLY: Yeah, that's okay.
DR.. LISA: Time to retire.
1081
00:41:10,285 --> 00:41:14,487
BILLY: Yeah. We like having her
around, so that's okay.
1082
00:41:14,489 --> 00:41:17,757
DR. LISA: Is there a place
she could be like on her own?
1083
00:41:17,759 --> 00:41:20,827
BILLY:
I could put her in a stall.
1084
00:41:20,829 --> 00:41:23,296
Let's see, can you walk?
1085
00:41:23,298 --> 00:41:24,497
Gingerly?
1086
00:41:24,499 --> 00:41:28,301
DR. LISA: I would say
her prognosis is pretty good.
1087
00:41:28,303 --> 00:41:30,036
It's really important
he keeps a close eye out
1088
00:41:30,038 --> 00:41:32,839
for any uterine discharge,
any nasty, smelly stuff.
1089
00:41:32,841 --> 00:41:34,174
Alright.
BILLY: Alright, thank you.
1090
00:41:34,176 --> 00:41:35,241
DR. LISA:
Yep, you have a great day.
1091
00:41:35,243 --> 00:41:36,509
BILLY: Yes, you, too.
Appreciate you coming out.

DAVID: Ladybird is a hound dog.
1101
00:41:55,997 --> 00:41:59,398
She has been in our family
for about seven years,
1102
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:00,733
since she was a puppy.
1103
00:42:00,735 --> 00:42:03,002
And she's one of
the kids, basically.

DR. NICOLE: What's going on
with her? Hi, girl!
1105
00:42:05,073 --> 00:42:08,674
DAVID: She got in a fight
last night with her sister,
1106
00:42:08,676 --> 00:42:10,210
a German short-haired pointer.
1107

DR. NICOLE: I'll take her in
and get a look at her, okay?
1108

DAVID: Alright. She has
a wound on her upper lip.
1109

Almost like when she
was in the fight,
1110
00:42:17,285 --> 00:42:21,020
she got a tooth
right through her entire lip.
1111
00:42:21,022 --> 00:42:22,288
DR. NICOLE: We're gonna
have to take a look
1112

and see what's going on.
1113
00:42:24,025 --> 00:42:25,558
A first look with a bite wound
1114
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,963
is always really hard to say
how bad the damage is.

Geez.
1117
00:42:33,034 --> 00:42:34,634
Ladybird does have a fever,
1118
00:42:34,636 --> 00:42:37,770
so that could point
to an infection.
1119
00:42:37,772 --> 00:42:40,039
We'll go ahead
and check out that lip.
1120
00:42:40,041 --> 00:42:44,777
Ladybird does have a bruise on
her left lip and a scab as well.
1121
00:42:44,779 --> 00:42:47,847
She's not gonna like it
when I pull that scab off.
1122
00:42:47,849 --> 00:42:49,182
I'm gonna remove the scab
1123
00:42:49,184 --> 00:42:51,117
and see if there's
any pus that comes out
1124
00:42:51,119 --> 00:42:52,385
or if it's just bruised.
1125
00:42:52,387 --> 00:42:53,519

Just a loud noise.
1129
00:42:57,191 --> 00:43:00,059
Ladybird does not like me
messing with her lip.
1130
00:43:00,061 --> 00:43:02,662
So, she's gonna get
a muzzle put on.
1131
00:43:02,664 --> 00:43:04,664
(clippers whirring)
1132
00:43:04,666 --> 00:43:06,933
The muzzle
not only protects her,
1133
00:43:06,935 --> 00:43:09,468
but also me and my fingers.
1134
00:43:09,470 --> 00:43:10,469
Come on.

DAVID: We're really concerned
1136
00:43:11,673 --> 00:43:14,674
about what's going on
inside of the lip.
1137
00:43:14,676 --> 00:43:16,409
DR. NICOLE: Okay,
let me see the inside.
1138
00:43:16,411 --> 00:43:17,877
DAVID: Really hoping that
there's not gonna be
1139
00:43:17,879 --> 00:43:20,279
too many stitches needed.
1140
00:43:20,281 --> 00:43:21,948
DR. NICOLE: Doesn't go inside,
just on the outside,
1141
00:43:21,950 --> 00:43:23,349
so that's good.
1142
00:43:23,351 --> 00:43:26,018
Ladybird is lucky, the puncture
from the bite wound
1143
00:43:26,020 --> 00:43:27,887
does not go all the way
through her lip.
1144
00:43:27,889 --> 00:43:30,890
Okay, now this part
you stay still for, okay?
1145
00:43:30,892 --> 00:43:32,491
It's just on the outside,
1146
00:43:32,493 --> 00:43:35,028
so just some topical care
is all that's needed.
1147
00:43:35,030 --> 00:43:36,029
(dog whines)
Good girl.
1148
00:43:36,031 --> 00:43:37,096
It's okay, it's okay.

00:43:37,098 --> 00:43:38,297
We're almost done.
1150
00:43:38,299 --> 00:43:40,433
Ladybird is not getting
stitches today.
1151
00:43:40,435 --> 00:43:42,101
Okay, here she is.
1152
00:43:42,103 --> 00:43:43,169
DAVID: Okay,
what did we come up with?
1153
00:43:43,171 --> 00:43:44,570
DR. NICOLE: She does have
a pretty good puncture
1154
00:43:44,572 --> 00:43:45,638
on her cheek,
1155
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:46,973
but it does not
go through her cheek,
1156
00:43:46,975 --> 00:43:48,508
so it's just through...
1157
00:43:48,510 --> 00:43:49,575
DAVID: Really? Okay.
1158
00:43:49,577 --> 00:43:50,643
DR. NICOLE: the outside,
there's no lesions
1159
00:43:50,645 --> 00:43:52,111
on the inside
of her mouth at all.
1160
00:43:52,113 --> 00:43:53,179
DAVID: Really? Okay.
DR. NICOLE: Which is good.
1161
00:43:53,181 --> 00:43:55,048
She has just a little bruising,
but that's it.
1162
00:43:55,050 --> 00:43:56,382
DAVID: I'm feeling really good.
1163
00:43:56,384 --> 00:43:58,918
Dr. Nicole says
that Ladybird looks good.
1164
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,987
DR. NICOLE: She's gonna go home
on some antibiotics
1165
00:44:00,989 --> 00:44:03,056
'cause she did have
a pretty good fever, too.
1166
00:44:03,058 --> 00:44:05,191
Outlook for Ladybird is good.
1167
00:44:05,193 --> 00:44:08,327
It'll just be a couple days for
all that swelling to go down.
1168
00:44:08,329 --> 00:44:10,263
David is gonna have to
keep the wound clean
1169
00:44:10,265 --> 00:44:11,931
and make sure that Ladybird
1170
00:44:11,933 --> 00:44:13,933
doesn't cause
any more damage to it.
1171
00:44:13,935 --> 00:44:16,202

taking care of Ladybird today.
