Ep 8. Lizard of Oz

Dr. K's Exotic Animal ER season 3 episode 8, titled "Lizard of Oz," follows the skilled and dedicated staff of Broward Avian and Exotic Animal Hospital, as they continue to provide compassionate care to all sorts of exotic animals in need.

In this particular episode, the team is faced with a unique challenge when a pet owner brings in a bearded dragon that has been feeling poorly. The lizard, named Oz, has not been eating or moving much, and the owner is concerned about its health.

Dr. K and her team of experts quickly get to work, performing a thorough physical exam on the bearded dragon. They discover a strange lump in its belly, which may be the cause of its lethargy and lack of appetite.

After conducting a series of tests, including X-rays and blood work, the team determines that Oz has a blockage in its intestines. They prepare for surgery, where they plan to remove the blockage and hopefully get Oz back to his healthy and happy self.

The surgery is a success, and Oz begins to recover quickly. However, the team soon realizes that there may be more to his condition than just a simple blockage.

Dr. K and her colleagues suspect that Oz may have a metabolic bone disease, which can be common in reptiles. They perform further tests and confirm their suspicions, ultimately deciding to administer injections of calcium and vitamins to help boost Oz's bone health and prevent future complications.

Along the way, the team faces a variety of challenges and surprises, as they work to provide the best possible care for Oz. They also encounter a number of other exotic animals in need of attention, including a chameleon with an eye issue and a parrot with a broken wing.

Throughout it all, Dr. K and her team remain unflappable and dedicated, striving to provide the highest level of care to every animal that comes through their doors. Their love for all creatures great and small shines through in every moment of this heartwarming and informative episode of Dr. K's Exotic Animal ER.
