In Critter Fixers: Country Vets season 3 episode 8, titled "Hogs and Hisses," viewers are taken on a wild ride through the Georgia countryside as Dr. Hodges and Dr. Ferguson come to the rescue of some furry and feathered patients in need.
The episode starts off with a bang as the vets receive a call about a chicken who's been attacked by a dog. The poor bird is in critical condition, with deep puncture wounds and a gnarly gash on its neck. Dr. Hodges and Dr. Ferguson must work quickly to stabilize the chicken's injuries and stop the bleeding before it's too late.
Next up on the list is a trio of orphaned raccoons who were found in a nearby barn. The furry little critters are dehydrated and malnourished, but with some TLC and a special milk formula, the vets are hopeful they'll pull through. Watching the baby raccoons slurp down their bottles is a heartwarming sight, and viewers can't help but root for their recovery.
In between these cases, the show takes a detour to a local hog farm, where Dr. Hodges and Dr. Ferguson are tasked with vaccinating a herd of pigs against respiratory disease. Though it may not seem as urgent as the other cases, the vets stress the importance of preventative care in keeping these animals healthy and happy.
But the drama doesn't end there. The vets are called out to another farm where a young calf is struggling to breathe. Upon examination, they discover that the baby cow has an abnormally narrowed windpipe, which could easily be fatal. Dr. Hodges and Dr. Ferguson must perform emergency surgery to widen the airway and save the calf's life.
As the episode draws to a close, the vets return to the clinic to check on their earlier patients. The chicken's wounds are healing nicely and she's even able to stand on her own two feet again. The raccoons are as playful and mischievous as ever, and seem to be thriving in their new surroundings. And the pig farm reports no signs of respiratory illness in their herd, proving the effectiveness of the vets' interventions.
"Hogs and Hisses" is a typical episode of Critter Fixers: Country Vets, with heartwarming moments of animal recovery mixed in with the suspense and drama of medical emergencies. It showcases the expertise and compassion of Dr. Hodges and Dr. Ferguson, who tirelessly work to improve the lives of the animals they treat.
