Ep 4. Can't Bite Me Love

As a veterinary show focused on exotic animals, Dr. K's Exotic Animal ER episode "Can't Bite Me Love" sees Dr. K treating a variety of creatures with unique and often challenging medical issues.

The episode kicks off with a visit from a family with a beloved pet ferret named Snoopy. Snoopy has been acting lethargic and exhibiting some unusual discharge from his eyes and nose. Dr. K suspects that Snoopy may have a respiratory infection, but with ferrets being notoriously difficult to diagnose and treat, the case proves to be tough. With some creative thinking and the use of a catheter to deliver medication to Snoopy's lungs, Dr. K manages to help the little guy start to shake off his illness.

Next up is a female pigeon named Pooky who has been having trouble breathing and walking. Using X-rays and bloodwork, Dr. K determines that Pooky has a severe bacterial infection that has caused lung damage and left her unable to use her legs properly. Dr. K and her team put Pooky on a regimen of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication, which proves successful in helping the pigeon recover and regain her mobility.

The episode then shifts gears to a pair of bearded dragons named Timon and Pumbaa, who are showing signs of malnutrition and have developed swollen eyes and toes. Dr. K discovers that the dragons have been living in a tank with inadequate lighting and nutrition, which has caused them to develop metabolic bone disease. With some specialized treatment and dietary changes, Dr. K is able to help the dragons recover and thrive.

Finally, the episode ends with a visit from a couple who have rescued a squirrel that was attacked by a cat. The squirrel, named Nutmeg, has a deep wound on her back that Dr. K believes will require surgery to repair. However, with Nutmeg being such a small and delicate animal, the surgery proves to be a difficult and risky undertaking. Dr. K and her team work carefully to repair the wound and provide Nutmeg with the best possible care during her recovery.

Throughout the episode, viewers see the incredible dedication and expertise of Dr. K and her team as they work tirelessly to help these exotic animals overcome their various medical issues. With a mix of heartwarming success stories and challenging cases, "Can't Bite Me Love" demonstrates why Dr. K's Exotic Animal ER is such a beloved and informative show for animal lovers everywhere.
