- February 25, 2017
As the 15th episode of the fourth season for the popular show Dr. Chris Pet Vet, "Small Wonders" brings viewers along for a fascinating journey into the lives of some of the tiniest critters in the animal kingdom. In this episode, Dr. Chris Brown, the show's affable and skilled veterinarian, takes the audience through three different cases where he uses his expertise to help small creatures in need.
The first case is centered around a tiny, six-gram baby sugar glider named Ollie. The baby glider was brought into the clinic after being found alone in a backyard, and Dr. Chris's team must work tirelessly to nurse the tiny creature back to health. The team must also find a surrogate "mom" for Ollie, a task that proves to be more challenging than expected. Dr. Chris explains how sugar gliders are incredibly social creatures and how finding a foster mother that can take care of Ollie would be crucial for his survival. The audience witnesses the moment when Ollie's life begins to change for the better as Dr. Chris introduces him to his new "mom," a foster mother with the unique ability to feed and nurture the tiny creature. The show highlights the importance of finding the right caretaker for small animals, showing how crucial it is for their survival.
The second case involves a tiny rabbit named Bonnie, who has been impacted by a predator attack. Bonnie was brought into the clinic after a near-death experience, and Dr. Chris must perform emergency surgery to properly heal her wounds. After the surgery, Bonnie is sent to a special recovery unit suitable for small animals, where the care environment is tailored to aid in her speedy recovery. By working closely with the clinic's experienced veterinary caretakers, Bonnie shows amazing signs of recovery and bounces back from the attack.
The third case centers around a Syrian hamster named Mimi. Mimi has been suffering from a skin condition that has left her itchy and uncomfortable, but Dr. Chris's team is determined to find the correct diagnosis and treatment plan to ease the hamster's discomfort. As no two animals are the same, and even veterinary clinicians cannot forecast the outcome of procedures, it is a waiting game to see what course of action will work best for Mimi. However, through a combination of clinical methods and personal care, Mimi’s health begins to show signs of improvement. The episode shows how although hamsters are seen as some of the most common pets, each case is unique, highlighting the importance of dedicated care and attention in treating all animals, no matter their size.
The show's overall theme is the love and care that pets require, no matter their size or species. Dr. Chris Brown demonstrates that all animals deserve proper medical attention, regardless of their exteriors. With an excellent combination of personal care and professional medical practices, Dr. Chris's team is always ready to take on these unique and challenging cases. The show inspires viewers to be mindful of the animals in their care and the commitment required in providing life for smaller pets, while simultaneously highlighting the dedication and passion that Dr. Chris and his team have for the well-being of different creatures. "Small Wonders" is a heartwarming display of the care, time, and patience that it takes to help some of the tiniest animals in the animal kingdom.
