Critter Fixers: Country Vets season 4 episode 11, titled "A Helping Hammy," follows Dr. Terrence Ferguson and Dr. Vernard Hodges as they continue to provide their veterinary services to the rural communities of Georgia.
In this episode, the Critter Fixers team receives a call from a concerned family whose pet hamster, Hammy, has suddenly stopped eating and moving around. The family is worried about Hammy's health and wellbeing, and they want to get him checked out as soon as possible.
Dr. Hodges and Dr. Ferguson immediately head over to the family's home to examine Hammy and figure out what's going on. They start by performing a physical exam on the hamster, checking his eyes, ears, nose, and teeth, and feeling his belly and legs for any abnormalities.
After their examination, the vets determine that Hammy is suffering from a respiratory infection, which is why he has been lethargic and not eating. They prescribe antibiotics for the infection and give the family some advice on how to care for Hammy while he recovers.
In addition to the hamster emergency, Dr. Ferguson and Dr. Hodges also help out with some other cases in the episode. They perform a spay surgery on a dog to prevent her from getting pregnant, and they also treat a goat who has developed a strange lump on her jaw.
Throughout the episode, viewers get an inside look at the daily work of a rural veterinarian, from diagnosing and treating animals to educating pet owners on proper care and prevention methods. The Critter Fixers team is shown working together seamlessly, utilizing their knowledge and expertise to handle a wide variety of cases.
As always, the show features heartwarming moments between the veterinarians and the animals they care for, including some touching scenes with Hammy the hamster and his grateful family.
Overall, "A Helping Hammy" offers an exciting and educational glimpse into the world of rural veterinary care, and highlights the importance of providing compassionate medical services to animals of all shapes and sizes.
