I couldn't help laughing at how your nice purple shirt got a new layer of Chili Pepper brown, 'tis just one of the many joys of being an animal guardian.
+Kaneanite Yeah, no mention of it either. Just another day at the office. :D
@@ght28 'tis is a contraction of it is, so i used the correct word.
I'm a simple nerd. I see a cavy, I click the video.
Jessi would it be possible to do an episode about vet-care for uncommon animals? Most seem to be so focused on the normal pet/livestock species I find it quite hard to get a vet who is comfortable treating less common species of animals.
Maybe the vet in the video can answer some questions about this? What preparations does she do when she hears a strange animal is scheduled for a visit? Are there animals she won't treat? What about illegal pets, does she report these to the authorities?
Yes!!
I feel ya, bro.
WOW really impressed with Chilli Pepper's relaxed attitude! I imagine if he was really stressed he could be very strong. Did the jump cuts hide and mischief tho? 😉
He did really well! We didn't cut out too much of his shenanigans. Mostly just a few extra attempts at getting the ear scope down his ear canal far enough, but you got to see his reaction to it and our successful attempt.
Thank you Jessi and Dr. Card for a great episode! Glad Chili Pepper has such a great doctor, and glad he's healthy!
+Heather Dodge I'm so thankful for Dr. Card and the Chili Pepper is just fine.
I saw the patch during the Anthropomorphism episode, I thought you guys operated or took some hair samples from Chili Pepper, seems like everything turned out fine.
Also I find that vets should be seen as a far more skilled profession than human doctors. They solve the same human health problems and more, across all sorts of species and have to deal with patients that literally won't listen and behave.
+GuyWithAnAmazingHat I agree! Vets are incredible!
+AnimalWonders Montana so i live im Montana and i love it here but i really want a pet rat so i did some research and found out that they're illegal to have and i was wondering how you have rats?
+parker martin It looks like that law is ONLY in Billings
GuyWithAnAmazingHat True. And the patients are unable to answer any questions to help the doctor figure out what's going on. Vets have to be clever detectives!
InstaBlaster.
My dog actually loves going to the vet. They feed her a lot of really nice treats and snuggle and pet her a lot. This is particularly funny because we have a very nervous poodle who gets the shakes over just about everything.
Merry Christmas folks. The animals are lucky to have you looking after them, and the world's a better place because you're in it.
Jessi! We go to the same vet! I was excited seeing the familiar lobby, but Dr. Card also looked at our betta's infection a while ago. She's so good, and I'm so glad they have someone who works with so many more animals than just dogs and cats.
Thank you for asking the questions. I know that you knew the answers, but framing it is really useful for the viewer.
Thank you for uploading this!
This is a wonderful episode. I'm glad nothing was seriously wrong with Chili Pepper. It was fun and informative seeing a live vet visit.
So interesting that a lot of the things she’s looking at are the same as we’d check with a rat with a similar issue, particularly the teeth that can cause lots of seemingly unrelated sinus, and ear issues
He's such a sweetie.
I love this channel so much!! I learn new things every video and the intro video is so cute.
Chili Pepper did really well. He was all chill with Dr. Card looking at his teeth and nostrils.
Aww the rabbit kangaroo dog is so cute
The difference in the appearance of Jessi's shirt before and after she holds the cavy is quite something.
I've brought my guinea pig to the vet on the vague symptom of "she isn't running around that much during her floor time," and both times it turned out she had managed to hurt herself jumping out of the litter box instead of walking out of it sensibly. It really can be incredibly subtle little things that are symptoms.
Dr. Card seems amazing! Does she specialize in exotics? How did you find her?
That vet sounds soooo funny.
Did the vet give Chili pepper a lollipop?
+LOUDMOUTHTYRONE If by lollipop, you mean a crunchy treat made from corn and carrots, then yes! Dr. Card gave him a "lollipop" :)
+AnimalWonders Montana If he hangs out with Lollipop the striped skunk, would that count? ;)
All I can think of is... Love and Love...
Great episode. Sometimes even just a phone call to your vet could mean you get a first opinion about something, they can reassure you if it's nothing or ask you to go to the clinic if they want to check. I often call mine for my cat, most of the time I don't need to follow up with a visit because the issue is minor and we can handle it at home :)
3:12 your just like wtf dont smell his ear lollllllll
Hank from SciShow sent me here. Not disappointed. I love animals and your videos are awesome. And as a bonus, you are a hottie...
I LOVR U GUYSSS!!!
If that was my cat the vet's office wouldn't be standing anymore
culwin hi first comment
i had to take my cat to the vet recently. he had itchy ears too. his personality did a 180 while he was there, he got so aggressive that the vet had to put a muzzle on him just to examine him.
I'm so glad everything turned out well :-)
Oh phew! I was so worried about Chili pepper, plus he is a good patient!
I feel what chili pepper feels because I got an ant stuck in my ear before
Aww
Almost 3 weeks ago I noticed my cat refusing his treats and not eating all of his dinner. I knew that cats are notorious for being finicky but my cat practically inhales any food given to him so it was very out of the norm for him. I immediately took him to the vet and learned that he had contacted heartworms. Over the next week and some change he refused to eat or drink at all and I was so scared that I was going to lose him. Thankfully my vet was able to get him feeling better and he's gotten his appetite back and is gaining back the weight he lost. Yay vets! lol.
love
I like your shirt Jessie
Chili Pepper is so cute, I'm glad he was ok
aww poor chili hope he feels better soon
How did you find a vet for more exotic animals? I can't imagine that all vets are capable or trained enough to handle them.
Chili Pepper is a cool dude!
Neat it looks like a mix of a capybara and wallaby
I'm looking forward to getting the chance to attend veterinary school in the next few years. I'm seriously considering becoming either an exotic vet and working at a zoo or rescue or becoming an exotic pet vet and working with the ASPCA or similar organization.
I worry about Chili Pepper and the others almost as much as I worry about my own dog.
Glad to know CP is okay. I was worried that it'd turn out to be something serious.
How hard was it to find a vet that takes care of porcupines and cavies? Of all the species at Animal Wonders, which was it hardest to find a vet for?
Is it hard to find vets who can care for many exotic animals? How did you come into contact with your current vet?
Do your animals have annual check ups?
Has anyone else noticed that Jessie will sometimes end multiple sentences in the same tone? Its just something I always think of when I watch her videos
I feel like that thing is what kangaroos evolved from
What type of vet do you go to? Is she an exotic animal vet or just a small animal vet?
Can anyone tell me the name of the 3 musicians and name of the song in this video while Jessi is waiting in the vets office? Thanks!
What type of animal is chilli pepper?
Hey Jessie, do you have any tips for helping animals overcome the stress of visiting the vet?
+mnunez1987 Get them used to the experience. Get them familiar with their carry-boxes (if they need them) and the car ride. Have car trips that are positive or neutral (ie go nowhere) rather than always to the vet or the kennel/cattery. Visit the vets all the time for non-charged reasons eg weight checks so they can be fussed over by the receptionists or nurses. Ensure that they don't always get a needle or a tablet every time they come. Discipline bad behaviour with good training and ignore fear behaviour rather than re-enforcing it with extra cuddles or attention. Touch your animal all over, train them to make sure they are happy with their feet or their ears being touched or their mouth being opened. Use calming products if you want to. And listen to the vet when you are there! Don't be offended if a muzzle, a nurse to restrain or even sedative drugs are needed, it is not a judgement on you or your animal (normally!), but it will let me get my job done quicker and safer (to me, you and fluffy) and the relevant diagnosis or treatment given to your pet.
are you australian?
Chili Pepper looks like a kangaroo+rabbit. wired
Dr Card is always wearing sweaters i hope she knits them herself
Chilly pepper is cite
What species of animal is Chilli Pepper?
+Hanna Vanburen A Patagonian Cavy.
My Budgie just died. what do i do? i had 2 budgies but will the partner die bc of its sadness
I'm so sorry. The other budgie won't die from sadness, but they can become stressed out from losing their companion. Make sure they have plenty of toys to interact with and if they don't have a fuzzy clothe (bird snuggly) the sleep in or next to, you can get them one so they have a "buddy" to snuggle with at night. If you don't know why your other one passed away, I'd take a trip to the vet to get this one checked out in case something is going on. Again, I'm so sorry for your and your bird's loss.
Do vets have to specifically study each individual species of animal or do they read up before a patient and use experience they have with similar animals? I can't imagine the good doc gets a ton of chinchillas.
+Eric Loesch Depending on the university, we study a wide range of 'exotic' animals in more brief detail than the Big Six (dog, cat, horse, sheep, cow, pig). At Edinburgh, we covered to varying degrees: lagomorphs, rodents, ferrets, psittacine and passerine birds cagebirds, raptors, snakes, lizards, chelonians, goats, llamas/other camelids, deer, donkeys and fish including farmed fish as well as a general introduction to common wildlife species in the UK. But that said, when someone is booked in to bring me a degu for anything other than the half dozen common degu complaints you will see me reaching for my notes or a textbook to brush up on the details. Inter-species comparison also helps (ie intelligent guesswork). CP is a mara, of the suborder hystrichomorpha, so if anyone ever brought me one or I had to visit a zoo collection, I would extrapolate anatomy, physiology and disease assumptions from the closest species with which I am familiar - the guinea pig.
+Cal0Pat In the States we have vets who will sometimes specialize in one or more types of animals. I assume that is also true for you over the pond. 8-)
I have to ask. Have you just accepted having animal hair/fur/feathers on you at all times? Do you have a few outfits that you like to keep in a special place so they don't get anything on them? I usually keep my suits in wardrobe bag to keep my dogs hair off of them (nothing worse than realizing halfway though a job interview that you're covered in dog hair). I'm guessing lint rollers are common place in your house :)
+Brennan Hays if humans had sensibility they'd see animal fur and be like "AWESOME! You at least like animals. You're HIRED."[gonna go sulk now because so not gonna happen.]
ToInfinityandBirds! If only! I'm hoping to end up working with animals one day, so I'll hopefully be in a position within a few years where I wont have to worry about showing up to work covered in animal fur :)
Brennan Hays Yeah! Though I mean if people caught bonus points for being animal lovers in the workplace.... *brings dog to work*
i'm sorry Chili Peper
You hope he never has to see the vet again? Don't the animals get regular checkups, though?
Dr. Card visits every few months to take care of Kemosabe's teeth and she does a general walk through of all the animals. But the animals don't need to be checked directly by a vet all the time (and the costs for that would be beyond our ability even with our increased fundraising efforts). They just need to be seen when something comes up. Which is why it's so important for us to know the animals' personalities so we can tell if anything is off. I have experience working in a vet clinic and learning from an amazing exotic animal veterinarian, so we are able to handle most medical issues at home. We needed to bring Chili Pepper into the clinic because there was a possibility he had something inside his ear canal which would require special tools and possibly anesthesia if he couldn't be restrained but still needed work done. I hope he never has something serious enough to be seen in the clinic again.
You got one or two hairs on your shirt.
First I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
