Debbie is very attached to Honey Bunch and has been keeping her as a pet for several years. Dr. K realizes the urgency of the situation and instructs her to bring Honey Bunch to the clinic immediately.

Once Honey Bunch arrives at the clinic, Dr. K and her team begin to run several tests to determine what is causing her breathing difficulties. They also perform a full physical examination to check if her weight, temperature, and other vital signs are normal. However, as they perform these tests, they find an unusual lump on Honey Bunch's abdomen.

The lump raises some concerns as Sugar Gliders are known to be prone to cysts and tumors. Dr. K understands the severity of the situation and decides to perform an emergency surgery to remove the lump. During the surgery, Dr. K and her team discover that the lump was indeed a tumor, and it had burst causing internal bleeding, which was putting Honey Bunch's life at risk.

Dr. K and her team work tirelessly to remove the tumor and stop the internal bleeding. The surgery takes several hours, but eventually, they are successful in removing the tumor and stopping the internal bleeding. They also repair the tissue that had been damaged and rushed Honey Bunch into recovery.

As Honey Bunch recovers in the recovery room, Dr. K and her team continue to monitor her closely. They give her medication for the pain and ensure that her breathing is stable. For several days, Honey Bunch remains in the clinic while Dr. K and her team keep a close eye on her. In the end, Honey Bunch makes a full recovery, much to the delight of Debbie, who is overjoyed to have her pet back home.
