An Unexpected Vet Visit for our Alligator

  • While refilling her pool, Rex chewed up her siphon and I think she may have eaten part of it... So off to the vet we go for radiographs! I just REALLY hope she didn't ingest a piece big enough that would require surgery.

    emily and ed doing the “what’s that in your mouth? stop chewing and give me that, let me put my hand in your mouth” dog owner routine with an ALLIGATOR requires some trust, man poor rex :(

      I was looking after a dog about 2 years ago, and on a walk, he picked up a discarded nappy (diaper for Americans) which someone had decided to leave in the middle of the field. I managed to trick him into dropping it with food before shutting him in a different room, because I didn't want my hands to be that involved with some random child's poop

      Your cat eats plastic too? My cat, Elim, loves to chew on plastic shopping bags. I had resolved this by going reusable, but with the pandemic, I've had to switch back. At least it forces me to put away everything as soon as I get home.

    The fact that she is so strong shows just how healthy she's gotten. Rex is amazing and I absolutely adore her.

Instead of an IV drip they just injected a lot of Saline under his skin (he’s got a lot of extra skin, just never fully grew into it and he’s still pretty young and a little wiry) so we decided to call him a “gusher” until it dissipated, he was not pleased.

    when my horse decided to eat hook-side velcro (he ripped a strap off someone's jacket), and horses have terribly weak digestive systems, I was informed to fill him up with paraffin oil as they can't digest it to try to lube all the way through. We went through several litres over several days. he's perfectly fine now but that panic is real

      That's what I thought when my dog (a big husky) managed to wedge a small stick in his upper jaw. It was completely stuck, and I had to get help from my landlords to hold him still while I got the stick out. He hates it when I touch or put my fingers in his mouth, so freaked out a bit when I had to put my whole hand in there.

    "What did you just eat" is the eternal pet owner experience. When my family got a new puppy she kept trying to eat everything interesting she could find on walks. This included discarded face masks >_

    Your videos are so cool and interesting I especially like the snake videos you don't have much subscribers but I think you deserve more I liked when you did the clutch eggs I really like when you got surprises from the eggs that you didn't expect
