Oh man, have I got some videos for you! th-cam.com/video/eG3ZGPCmDmo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/srvjJ_dJ2SU/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/sWthS2FuFCg/w-d-xo.html I've been wanting to do another snowy adventure because they're so much fun, but we've done a few already and I don't want to do repeats.
I'm so glad Cas is okay 😓🤕😅 I've been watching this channel since the first time you went on SciShow Talkshow. Arctic foxes are some of my favorite mammals (Cas especially.) 🐺🦊I always appreciate how much you keep us updated on every one of the sweet babies you care for. I love you and all the hard work you do for them! Thank you for the videos!! 😄
There is something I find extremely interesting (and uplifting) about you. You have an extremely developed attitude of gratitude. It makes life so much nicer.
This reminds me of two of my former canine companions. Back when I was in grade-school, I got a new classmate whose mom had just been hired as a teacher at the school. Unfortunately, being a single mom of two with a 1 year old dog, a retriever mix named Sandy, this meant the dog had to stay in the car all day so the mom could take it out to feed it and let it do its business during lunch and free period. Since it had been some time since my own family had a dog, I mentioned that my mom could probably watch the dog during the days and that's exactly what ended up happening. About 2 years later, a friend of theirs moved to Germany for a year and left some tenants to care for their dog, an Akita named Otto, but the tenants bailed after 3 months, leaving him in the garage and came back every 3 days to give him food and water. Despite not being able to care for her own dog 100% of the time, she took in Otto as well. My parents were reluctant to take him at first, but soon both Sandy and Otto were making the trip between houses every day. At first, Sandy seemed to think Otto was annoying, following her around so closely all the time but within a few days her behavior changed dramatically. She would periodically walk over to him for a sniff and place her paw on his head. This is when we realized that something must be wrong. We took him to the vet and found that aside from being under weight from rationing his food (which we already figured when he only ate 1c per day no matter how much we put out), he also had Lyme disease, early signs of kidney failure, anemia and rather bad arthritis. The vet gave him 2-4 months to live but we tackled one thing at a time and he made it nearly two years. Sandy and her humans moved to Boston which we thought would make him give up, but about a month later he was back to his normal. In the end it was a torn ACL that did him in. At his age, with his other health concerns and the mannerisms of an Akita, neither surgery nor wheels would have been viable options. But, if not for Sandy, he wouldn't have made it even a month and together we were able to give him the best 18 months of his life. About a year after that, we got Sandy as well when her humans moved to Vancouver with a gentleman who hates animals. (That should have been red flag number one). She lived out her golden years chasing squirrels, lounging on the couch staring out of the window and playing with my cousin's doberman, Diva, on our yearly trips down to VA to visit and go fishing on a private bass lake.
I really enjoyed your story, and writing. You have a beautiful prose. I was able to picture your dogs and got emotionally invested in your story. Well done! And I'm quite happy to know that these dogs had someone caring for them. Thank you!
So happy hes ok, hidden illnesses are a nightmare. My 9 year old Lhasa apso Audrey died very suddenly last fri for unknown reasons, huge internal bleed with no signs of illness. We are devastated, if only we had known. 😞
I will be praying for Cas. I hope he continues to be well and not have too many more issues with this. I'm just glad that the tumor was benign. Best wishes!
Thank you so much for doing this video! We were so worried. I'm so happy that he's doing well and back with Seraphina! I hope he gets used to the touching very soon (for both your sakes). Sending lots of love from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!
Jessi, you are such an awesome person. you are strong, passionate, loving and so full of positive qualities! you truly are an inspiration. if I had children (daughters, especially) I would want them to have you as a role model. you are awesome!
I'm glad he's okay! And I'm super glad to hear that you're going to be using positive behavioral training to get him to be okay with exams. I wonder if shaping would work, in this case, since he is okay with some touch, but not others?
She mentioned in a video a long time ago that since Augusto was behind the scenes all the time and not in the video it did not make sense to have him in the intro. Strange explanation but that is what was said.
It's sort of a weird balance honestly. We were getting questions of "Who is the guy in the intro?" from the people who hadn't seen him on the channel in a while. So, we removed him, and now we're getting the opposite haha
I'm curious what you thin k the original commotion and bleeding had been about--perhaps they'd been playing and nipping and the tumor got snagged because it stuck out more? Or they had a toussle, Cas was injured and while repairing the injury they noticed a tumor nearby? It's ok if you don't feel comfortable sharing!
Ever curious: Michelle Seraphina would definitely have noticed the tumour, so if she was trying to get a good sniff and lick at it, but Cas was uncomfortable with that (as we know he generally does not like to be touched), that would definitely lead to a bit of a commotion.
@@ragnkja This is most likely exactly what happened. Seraphina was standing close and trying to get closer, and Cas was acting defensive in the second I had to assessed the situation before entering their enclosure. Foxes can make loud vocalizations to communicate so it wasn't anything serious, but it was nice to be so thoroughly notified.
WHAT A CUTIE!!! I want one! I want four! But foxes smell and pee a lot, so nah. Even the worst-case scenario of amputating his leg wouldn't be so bad; he's a trooper, I'm sure it wouldn't impact his quality of life that much, if at all. Especially considering he's in an environment surrounded by humans who have his best interests and overall well-being in mind. However, _why didn't you film the reintroduction of him and his girlfriend?!_ I wanted to see... :(
I miss so many opportunities to catch behaviors on camera because I need both hands and all my focus on the animals. Maybe one day there will just be a film crew following me around all the time, lol. Just kidding, that would be terrible.
Oh my.... How old is he? He's not a young baby by any means, but I'd guess that you wouldn't consider such long-term solutions if you didn't expect him to live quite a while longer. 7 Can't spit out peanut butter- I like that! I thought you were going to say that he ate it all up even with the powder, but I guess not all canids have similar tastes?
Would it be practical to simply repeat the surgery however often it’s needed? If there’s several years between each instance, from my point of view that doesn’t sound like it’d be too detrimental to his quality of life, but I also know that anytime an animal goes under anesthesia or has an incision there’s a whole bunch of health risks that could occur. Do you think you’re going to come up with a plan before the tumor potentially returns, or do you think you’ll just monitor closely and make the decision when it comes up? Another question: does the price of procedures ever influence your choices, or do you generally have enough money budgeted for vet costs that it doesn’t affect your decisions? Radiation therapy for an animal sounds VERY expensive! This was a fascinating and heartwarming episode, and I’m glad your emergency procedures for animal health crises and played out so well. Your vet sounds great, too :)
Since we don't know how quickly, or even if, the tumor will grow back, we'll just monitor and see what happens. I'm hoping it takes a long time to get to the point it would need to be removed again and then we could just do another surgery like the first one. It's definitely concerning how he reacted to the anesthesia gas, so that is part of weighing the risks and making our choice. Radiation therapy can be quite expensive, and we don't know if it'll work or how many treatments he would need. So that will be looked into if surgery not longer becomes the first choice. I wish I could say that money doesn't play a role in making decisions about the animal's health care, but it does. If we aren't responsible with our emergency reserves we can put all the animals in danger, and that's not an option. Which is why it's so important to have a safety net and to have a great veterinarian who can find solutions with us.
Glad to hear Cas is doing well. He reminds me of my Japanese Spitz (like an American Eskimo) I had growing up-incidentally, her name was Kazzi! Signed up for Curiosity Stream. Looks like a cool service!

I wish humans welcomed friends home by simply running around screaming. Foxes just get it
Chris Alan I wish that too😏
Same
4:02 that head tilt though
Sounds like you have a pretty amazing vet! And 2 wonderful foxes! Glad to hear Cas is alright.
Im dying for some footage of him frolicking in the snow outside! He'd blend in so well you'd never find him again!
Oh man, have I got some videos for you!

Aww poor Cas, I’m glad it turned out to be benign :-)

Glad to hear Cas is recovering. I hope that the tumor will not be a health worry for a long time.

Get well soon Cas
Great video Jessi...So glad Cass is back to his old self...he is such a beautiful animal too.
I'm glad Cas is okay!!
Man you guys do so much hard work. It is crazy how many emergency situations you all have had relatively recently. I hope Cas recovers well.
It seems we've hit a bit of a rough patch lately with the medical stuff. I'm ready for some less health related adventures now, please.
im this guy's kid, and i love foxes soo much, and im glad cas is healthy
I'm glad cas is ok and the two fox's are back together😘
as soon as i saw the title i was terrified
Michael AR same
Thank you for posting stuff. We all love you
I get not liking touch. I hope Cas continues to live a happy healthy life, even if it gets uncomfortable. He's a beautiful animal.
I bet the peanut butter thing works on humans too
Stay strong Cas!
I’m glad cas is okay,I was so scared for him!
Jessi, you are such an awesome person. you are strong, passionate, loving and so full of positive qualities! you truly are an inspiration. if I had children (daughters, especially) I would want them to have you as a role model. you are awesome!
I love Cas

This is awesome! You guy rock!

Charlotte Cox same
Awh I love what you do! Thank you
Tell him I'm glad he's felling better for me please!🦊😋
Does anyone know why Augusto was removed from the intro?
She mentioned in a video a long time ago that since Augusto was behind the scenes all the time and not in the video it did not make sense to have him in the intro. Strange explanation but that is what was said.
It's sort of a weird balance honestly. We were getting questions of "Who is the guy in the intro?" from the people who hadn't seen him on the channel in a while. So, we removed him, and now we're getting the opposite haha
Thank you for explaining, Matthew!
I love Augusto's presence whenever he was around. I hope to see more of him in the future.
Starts peeing at 0:08 😂😂
He's a professional 😄
We love cas
I'm curious what you thin k the original commotion and bleeding had been about--perhaps they'd been playing and nipping and the tumor got snagged because it stuck out more? Or they had a toussle, Cas was injured and while repairing the injury they noticed a tumor nearby? It's ok if you don't feel comfortable sharing!
Ever curious: Michelle
Seraphina would definitely have noticed the tumour, so if she was trying to get a good sniff and lick at it, but Cas was uncomfortable with that (as we know he generally does not like to be touched), that would definitely lead to a bit of a commotion.
@@ragnkja This is most likely exactly what happened.

Oh gosh! Thank goodness y’all are positioned to tale cars of him financially! Whew!

I'd have loved to watch them screaming at each other, haha.
Was everything all right with Seraphina? Did you ever figure out if the "big commotion" was a fight, or just something unrelated?
Rithene most likely the tumor got cut on accident and was painful enough that Cas cried out and Seraphina cried because was worried about her friend.
Awwwww, I wish we had reunion footage!
Oh thank goodness! What a scare
Oh my.... How old is he? He's not a young baby by any means, but I'd guess that you wouldn't consider such long-term solutions if you didn't expect him to live quite a while longer.
7 Can't spit out peanut butter- I like that! I thought you were going to say that he ate it all up even with the powder, but I guess not all canids have similar tastes?
He's almost 8, which is a little over middle age. He's not an old guy yet, but he's definitely slower than he used to be (which is fine by me!).

@@animalwondersmontana Sounds like you've thought all this through really well! thanks for answering my questions, and for all the awesome work you do
Are Cas and Saraphina neutered/spayed? Can different species of foxes mate?
If my memory is correct, at least one of them is. I also wonder if they can mate.
They are both sterilized. And these two species are not closely related enough to produce offspring, like a horse and donkey could.
I hope Cas I fine I was terrified the whole episode
OMG LOVE YOUR VIDEOS THERE SO COOL !😁
Glad to hear Cas is doing well. He reminds me of my Japanese Spitz (like an American Eskimo) I had growing up-incidentally, her name was Kazzi!
Signed up for Curiosity Stream. Looks like a cool service!
How do you become an animal educator like yourself?
jessi is a hufflepuff, you can't change my mind
Aww poor cas
Oh no! Is that little one ok?
oh good
I like the red fox she is always so happy
Thumbs up for Doctor Card!
Hope he has a good recovery post tumor.
Yayy!
Would you mind telling us what type of tumor he had?
Poor cas was suffering 😭😭😭😭😭
Peanut butter was how we got my Jack Russell Terrier to take her meds (until she got too wise about it and ate the peanut butter around the pills!)
That's why you crush the pill and mix it in. There's no way around that!
Awwww 😍😍
I want a video of Seraphina's happy screaming, lol
Serophina would be lonely and Cas would be dead which would be very very sad
Poor thing
can you talk more about Mimi
So was Seraphina attacking him because he had a tumor?
Edit: Because Seraphina was "making a commotion" and you had to separate them...
Awesome 😎😎😎
Arctic foxes are awesome! 👍👍👍
I know this is random but you should do volgs
1st?
I love ur videos so much and poor Cas
Would you bring him to Washington State for radiation?
Yeah, that would be one of our options! Either Washington or Colorado, both have the means to do radiation therapy for him.
Cas!! :'(
Hey Jessie
Is cas albino
He's an Arctic fox. They are a separate species of fox and turn naturally white in the winter for camouflage.
Sad,I thought it was Tigli
1 dislike.. least amount of dislikes I've ever seen.. Weird.
The zero dislikes are the zero cancer cells in Cas's body hopefully ✌
ur this is inaccurate right now, there are 2 dislikes
I HOP CAS IS SAFE HE IS SO CUTE I LOVE HIM AND I AM A BIG FAN MY I AM ALWES WACHEING YOUR VIDOS MY NAME IS EMMALYNN
First like
First 😎
