The hedgehogs that are for sale as pets are African hedgehogs, which are not endangered (to my knowledge), and are the product of breeding here in the states. I very much doubt that the pet trade has imported hedgehogs for decades. The hedgehogs on Vet on the Hill (in England) are a different genus, and are a part of the local fauna there. Those are the ones endangered.
@@susanlarhubarbe9475 I agree. When Matt said, we'll do the surgery, she looks at him shut mouth as if thinking, "we are what....?" Then, OK, and a smile. Lol
They say that the op on Sunday is one of the first in the world. There is a vet in England, Noel Fitzpaterick who has been doing this op for years. He has also operated on hedgehogs broke legs and put a pin in the bone to join the 2 ends and the hedgehog can go back to the wild.
Noel Fitzpatrick has been doing this surgery for more than 10 years now he actually invented the procedure and developed the prosthetics so this is definitely not the first one in the world
i was just out to mention professor Noel Fitzpatrick and the work he has done over last 20 plus years with endoprosthetics he has done some amazing work and the many animals he has treated is amazing.
I came here to say the same thing. The surgeries Professor Fitzpatrick performs almost defy belief. He's a true genius. Did you see the recent episode where he had to operate on his own dog after she was hit by a car? Seeing him breakdown made me cry too.
I love 🦔 & my heart broke when Scott said he was going to put the lil fella to sleep but when they decided to just amputate the leg it made me a lot happier.
My cat had a stalled labor. She got knocked up by my roommate's unfixed purebred Bengal (she was supposed to go for her de-sexing in a week but she went into heat then slipped out of my room thanks to my third irresposible roommate) and the kitten's head was too big for her to push out. Scariest night of my life - I thought I was going to lose her and her kittens. All 3 kittens and my beloved Sera survived (who is now thankfully fixed). Please spay/neuter your animals! I paid 2500 for emergemcy surgery and treatment.
Your danged roommates should have helped pay the emergency delivery charge. Well, maybe not the male cat's owner, but definitely the one who let the cat "out of the bag" ...... so to speak.
@@Selma.dzc296 Is that comment in response to "I paid 2500 for emergency surgery and treatment"? Those medical expenses were for the cat ..... not the commenter. I haven't heard anyone talking about Canada having universal health care for veterinarian services and costs. :0D
Sunday's dad is the best dad ever, he took such good care of her, with the therapy and all, and he was clearly worried about her having surgery! I hope Storm will be spayed though, shelters are overwhelmed with abandoned dogs, 8 more dogs in the world in enough, it's basic responsibility.
Noel Fitzpatrick is a leading Pioneer in animal prosthetics and does this type of surgery every week, he has a hospital in the UK which specialises in this type of surgery. It's amazing to watch he has a tv programme called The Supervet which has been airing since 2014. So glad for Sunday hope he goes on for many years.
I'm happy to hear that Noel Fitzgerald has shared his bionic surgery with other animal surgical clinics. It is the best thing for him as well as the animals. I was beginning to worry about his health.
Ran a rescue for decades and I have seen so much but when he said he was going to put the Hedgie to sleep i almost threw up. So glad he is going to rescue. Made me feel so much better for him. Go Little Rock Star!
In the US healthcare is such that even a lot of people can't get an implant surgery like Sunday did. It's amazing that those doctors would perform this kind of surgery on a doggo patient.
In the US we don't just put wild animals to sleep if they can't return to the wild. Especially an endangered animal like those hedgehogs. Such animals that can't be let loose in the wilds are taken care of and might be used in education programs. I am so glad there are programs that will accept for this wee hedgehog.
Fantastic surgery but not new. Doctor Noel Fitzpatrick in England has doing it for years. Known as the "bionic vet" But I love seeing animals get a new chance
@@wallyzeisig Is he the one who has documentaries where you can see the animals before and after? There was a cat that had those spring like implants that athlete s have for when they lose a foot etc. Very amazing!
Bear is so sweet. The way he lifted his head to receive the mask, and the tale wag was adorable! Have a soft spot for labs and G. retrievers. Mine was Sunnie a retriever. Very sweet soul.
Not sure how old this episode is (obviously sometime in the last couple of years), but there's a vet in the UK that's been doing those kinds of implants on cats and dogs for years now... like, close to ten years that I know of, and probably a lot longer.
Sunday looks exactly like my GRETA who passed because of a Congenital Kidney problem at only 3 ...I cried for Sunday and hopefully this will correct her problem...give her a hug for me.
They're saying that this type of operation isn't performed on many animals around the world, they obviously haven't heard of professor Noel Fitzpatrick the SuperVet here in the UK. He does this type of work all the time and it's through his work that other animals around the world are able to get this type of operation!
I see what you’re saying and Noel is really wonderful however that’s still a very minority of animals getting treated especially considering how much more common it is in humans to get treated. So I personally feel like what they said is still pretty accurate. Wouldn’t it be even more wonderful if all/most animals had these opportunities. I think that’s the ideal 😊
@@jupiterblue2776 that doesnt make a difference with which group receives more treatment though, which was my point. Humans receive this treatment more than animals. And while bionic limbs for humans is large in part because of him (very much to his credit) false limbs have been used for humans for many many years. And that was more what i was getting at. That it would be wonderful to see animals get the same treatment instead of some people seeing it as " silly " or "its only an animal" thats all i meant by my post.
@@ravenoctober9936 I couldn't agree more that animals deserve the same treatment. In fact, Noel Fitzpatrick felt it was a travesty that animals were used as test subjects on the way to perfecting knee and hip replacements for humans, but didn't receive new joints themselves when they needed them. So he routinely performs hip, knee and elbow replacements on dogs and cats. I wouldn't put it past him to try it for other animals too considering he rebuilt a hedgehog's leg after it was broken in multiple places. This isn't simply the case that humans receive more prosthetics than animals. This is a very specialised type of prosthetic. It's where a metal rod is inserted directly into the bone rather than being worn on the outside. It's important because Noel spent at least 10 years trying to get human orthopaedic surgeons to listen to him and try this method on humans. I wanted to acknowledge that because there are many, many animals and humans who owe him a debt of gratitude. However, I still don't think the operation on humans is particularly common, which is a shame. I think it may be due in part to a lack of awareness. It makes far more sense though as the part of the body taking the weight is the same - the bone. So there's far less skin chaffing than with an external prosthesis. I was surprised at the end result in this video to be honest. Noel just leaves a small part of the rod on the outside. Once the skin heals, the new prosthetic clicks onto the rod. There can be interchangeable prosthetics depending on usage and they're very sophisticated. There's one dog who has a mini running blade for going to the park. He even replaced the paws, wrists and ankles of a cat who lost all of them to a combine harvester. If you're interested in his work, he has a TV series called 'The Supervet' and there are probably clips on TH-cam.
@@ravenoctober9936 I do get what you're saying though that many people would consider this type of surgery on animals to be a waste. But I think after the initial surprise at the first paraplegic dog to use wheels, most people were receptive when they saw how much the dog''s life was improved. I don't have a lot of time for people who don't seem to understand that our pets are our family. My cat is my world and I know that there is absolutely nothing I wouldn't do for him. Yes, he's very spoiled, but he had a really tough start and I will spend the rest of his life trying to make up for that and making sure he knows he is loved.
I had to turn off another episode that was so traumatic I had a physical reaction. So, I turned on this episode hoping to be inspired by an episode that showed the heroism & kindness of these wonderful vets. It truly is amazing what these dedicated doctors do to help all of the creatures presented to them. These doctors are blessings to the animals of this world.
Noel Fitzpatrick aka “super vet” in the U.K. has been performing bionic limbs for cats and dogs for years now so this isn’t exactly “ground breaking” however I’m super pleased it all worked and she’s doing great!
First, I encourage Storm's owner to have her dog spayed so she doesn't have to go through that trauma again. Storm has added eight dogs to this world, and no more should be asked of her. Kudos to everyone who has mentioned Dr. Noel Fitzpatrick. Sunday was born in May 2018 (I checked Matt's website). Since she was 3 years old at the time of operation, it makes me wonder why nobody at least suggested consulting with Dr. Fitzpatrick. Or, if they did, why it wasn't brought up in this video. I'm happy for Sunday, though, as Rotties are my favorite breed and Sunday looks like a real sweetheart. ❤️
Totally agree with you; I've got 3 rescued dogs and the first visit for them to the vet was to get them fixed, although with the last rescue pup, it was after she had her 7 puppies because she was pregnant when someone dumped her out in the middle of the night in freezing weather. I would have loved to have been able to find out who it was that put her out!🥺All that said, she won't be having any more puppies, they all went to great homes, and she'll be much healthier.❣️
I had a 3 legged dog when I was a kid. I adored him. His name was Alexandre Bachelor the 3rd. He came with the name, he was born with the leg backwards and it was removed around the time he was being weaned. He never slowed down, he was happy all the time.
We need more people in the world like your team. Animals do so much for us that it is nice to find people that are constantly striving to find better ways to improve their health and life.
I recommend that the surgeons who did Bear's prosthetic leg operation might want to consider getting in touch with the UK's renowned Dr Noel Fitzpatrick who has pioneered the process for dogs/cat's prothesis for quite a few years. However I do give a huge congratulations on Bear's operation and recovery. Love watching your videos 🇬🇧❤️
@@religiohominilupus5259 Ty for correcting me on the dogs names. I feel silly for mixing up the names now 🤦 unfortunately that's the sort of things I get mixed up with unless I recheck lots.
This is what I though! He did this procedure on two back legs for Oscar the cat, must be ten years ago! Not knocking what these guys do, it's amazing! But Noel's ITAP procedure has been hugely successful over the last decade!
Unbelievable!!!! What a cheek.. they said its been in a few places around the world but never been mastered .. The nerve, im fuming 🙄 Noel is the master of his procedure. Pioneering Surgery!!!! These jokers 🙄
Really good compilation. Amazing teams as always. Awesome prosthesis surgery. Glad that "hog hedge) tripod avoided the put down. Standard lab is a great diagnosis. Good call for the puppy litter. I'm partial to the blue-eyed spotted ones❤
Really not a pioneer professor Noel Fitzpatrick developed this procedure and the implants more than 10 years ago and has done it on hundreds of cats and dogs
BIG thank you to all the Bondi vet's for doing a fantastic job in helping all these dog's and cat's and not forgetting other animals out you are all heroes because if it wasn't for you they may have not made and delivering all these beautiful puppies you are all one in a million 💯 percent in your Jobs well done ✅✅
That surgery they did a great service to Sunday WHO ever invented it. And that thing with Scott and the hedgehog was a Miracle thanks to the wildlife care giver.
Well done guys, thank God storm and her pups are all fine and doing well Sunday doing really well on her legs and the sweet little hedgehog love and God's blessing to you all Bondi vets ♥️♥️♥️🐕🐕🐾🐾🐾🐾
Love Bear and Sunday. How lucky to have a chiropractor for a 'dad'? I've always admired Labs but they are so large and my house is small. But they seem to bond so well to their families and the people the service dogs help. I've never been around Rotties, but this one appears to be every bit as loving as the Lab.
The surgeon Munjid Al Muderis who operated on Sunday was a boat refugee, He is now one of Australia's top pioneering orthopedic surgeons. It just shows what enrichment these people can be to one's country.
I am blown away at how far we have come not only with human medicine but also pet medicine too!!! 20 years ago if someone told me a dog had a prosthetic leg or something I would have laughed and said ya right. Now it seems pets are getting them done just as much as we do as human! I would love to see this type of technology and treatment be offered world wide!
@@elizabethtorres3491 She said 'IF' she lived in the UK and 'IF' she had a good sized garden, so unfortunately it's only what she'd like to do, not what she can do. One of the big problems for hedgehogs is not so much that they don't have the potential for enough territory as that most gardens are much better fenced than they were 10 or 20 years ago so the hedgehogs can't get their typical nightly 3 mile route in search of food going from garden to garden. There is a big movement (but not big enough) for people to add hedgehog holes to their fences.
@@laceandbits I'd think they'd probably feed Tripod, not expect him to hunt. If a she-hedgehog in similar shape (suffering from an accident, not a congenital deformity) needed a mate, that could be arranged.
@@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 DId I ever say or hint even that they wouldn't? My comments about the hedgehog population in the UK were about the wild and healthy ones. It was stated in the programme that this particular one was being rehomed somewhere with a secure garden so that he couldn't get out. As that's the case they would obviously have to feed him as one garden may well not have enough natural food for him.
Sunday is a beautiful dog hopefully they can fix her leg & make her better & feel better. We love our animals & the vets who help us make them feel better & help us take care of them.
I agree! Dr. Noel Fitzpatrick has been doing this type of surgery for years. His implants are designed w/a special medium at the end which allows the skin to adhere to it.
The surgery Sunday had was pretty amazing. Hopefully it will help the animal world save more limbs instead of removing them or even euthanasia. Love this show. 🙂❤
I love this video it was fantastic and to see a prosthetic been done on a dogs foot wow that’s just incredible well done to all the team that did that amazing surgery
Great job on all fronts. I hope Hedgie finds a good home! Team work on the puppy brigade was amazing, as was the high tech foot surgery. Thank you for all you do. Happy New Year from New Hampshire, USA.
Our black lab had a rear leg amputated. He still jumped over fences and ran as if 4 legged. Easy to pee on trees Lol! Just could not mount neighbor dog as he'd tip over trying 😉
I am amazed that these vets are so far behind in their information for animal implant technology . This is not new when Noel Fitzpatrick's work is so well documented.
Omg Sunday you go girl bit won't be long until your owner will be trying to run after you keep up the exercises you will be the fastest runner in the park.well done ✅✅ beautiful Sunday.
Sunday is NOT the first one in the world. FAR from it. Australia? Yes, but the world? Nope! Look up The Bionic Vet who has been doing this everyday for YEARS. Come on Bondi! DO your research! You guys could totally learn from the amazing work that vet does.
Sunday reminds me in a way of a dog in our neighborhood when I was a kid. This dog was a liver-spotted dalmatian, missing his left front paw. His owner would take him for walks, and didn't look like he was happy at all. But one day I bravely asked him what was wrong with his dog's foot, and he replied he was born with it. This was in the early 60s.
I’m surprised you guys didn't consult The Supervet, Dr. Noel Fritzpatrick, about this prosthetic implant. He’s doing this kind of orthopedic surgery for decades, and it is no longer a novel idea or practice. He literally invented this procedure! If you had consulted him, that implant on that beautiful Rottweiler would have functioned much more naturally.
The specialist { Noel Fitzpatrick } in the UK does prosthetic limbs for all animals and has done so for many years, I’m surprised it hasn’t taken off much sooner around the world. I have to say I’m a bit shocked that these vets are claiming that the Rottweiler is the first in the world to have this procedure done…
Drama is the name of the game. I agree whole heartedly, credit should be given where it is deserved. Now the human surgeons working on a dog may be the claim to fame here, but the animal bionics are not.
that’s fabulous that he’s a chiropractor. we have a guy who adjusts animals here in america, too. i always thought it would be great to do that. :) 🐶🐕🌷🌱
Every time I watch the other vets it makes me appreciate chris Scott Andrew and the blonde one that sings the into song ( not lisa ) lisa and the other font hold a candle to them
Seeing Bonnie brings tears to my eyes. She looks just like my boy Obie (who is missing one eye spot), who has been gone for a few years now but ha never been forgotten.
I feel for Storm my son was breach and after about 17 hours of labour and 4 hours in transition my lizard brain took over and I tried to leave the hospital... I informed my doctor and concerned husband that I was done and needed to go home now. Apparently not as uncommon as one would think, it triggered my doctor though since such behavior is common in problem births.
Bear's owner was going on about how he'd do anything at all for him, he's part of the family... yet he's had those lumps growing for 'years'. So I guess he'd do anything except take his beloved family member to the vets to get checked sooner?
If the number of hedgehogs is so low in Britain, why not breed the ones that can't be released, and increase their numbers even more than just fixing and releasing one?
They’re not giving Noel Fitzpatrick credit. he started this whole darn thing. it’s not their technology, it’s his!!! he pioneered all the technology and methods. there are loads of animals in England with prosthetics now. do look him up :). i am glad though, that Noel’s research is finally spreading out from England. he’s a fantastic man and vet. :) 🐶🐕🌷🌱 (some of his research is even being transferred to people.)
I’m very proud to say that, MANY decades ago, I played a very small part in stopping the sale of hedgehogs as pets in Louisiana.
That's great!!
The hedgehogs that are for sale as pets are African hedgehogs, which are not endangered (to my knowledge), and are the product of breeding here in the states.

I recommend that the surgeons who did Bear's prosthetic leg operation might want to consider getting in touch with the UK's renowned Dr Noel Fitzpatrick who has pioneered the process for dogs/cat's prothesis for quite a few years. However I do give a huge congratulations on Bear's operation and recovery. Love watching your videos 🇬🇧❤️
That was my thought. He does them regularly
Agreed, Dr. F.'s amazing!
Btw, Bear is the lab with the lumps.
The name of the boo with the prosthetic is Sunday. ;)
@@religiohominilupus5259 Ty for correcting me on the dogs names. I feel silly for mixing up the names now 🤦 unfortunately that's the sort of things I get mixed up with unless I recheck lots.
This is what I though! He did this procedure on two back legs for Oscar the cat, must be ten years ago! Not knocking what these guys do, it's amazing! But Noel's ITAP procedure has been hugely successful over the last decade!
@@kirstiemartin367 , I get 4s, 5s and 7s inverted and forget names too!
Look at Sunday and how he adores his dad.
Unbelievable!!!! What a cheek.. they said its been in a few places around the world but never been mastered .. The nerve, im fuming 🙄 Noel is the master of his procedure.
Pioneering Surgery!!!!
These jokers 🙄

Really good compilation. Amazing teams as always. Awesome prosthesis surgery. Glad that "hog hedge) tripod avoided the put down. Standard lab is a great diagnosis. Good call for the puppy litter. I'm partial to the blue-eyed spotted ones❤
Wow! Sunday is a pioneer! It really helps tremendously that her owner does animal rehabilitation.
Really not a pioneer professor Noel Fitzpatrick developed this procedure and the implants more than 10 years ago and has done it on hundreds of cats and dogs
No unfortunately the show lied to get responses like this and move the real fame on the wrong vet
@@AnniCarlsson meybe they didnt heard of proffesor Noel...?
BIG thank you to all the Bondi vet's for doing a fantastic job in helping all these dog's and cat's and not forgetting other animals out you are all heroes because if it wasn't for you they may have not made and delivering all these beautiful puppies you are all one in a million 💯 percent in your Jobs well done ✅✅
Does Aussie Vet not know about Dr. Fitzpatrick? He does this regularly, he’s just in England.
Happy birthday to Storm 🎁 you will be a good mum bet you didn't think that you who'd be getting gifts like this your little puppy's are all Beautiful.
That surgery they did a great service to Sunday WHO ever invented it. And that thing with Scott and the hedgehog was a Miracle thanks to the wildlife care giver.
Well done guys, thank God storm and her pups are all fine and doing well Sunday doing really well on her legs and the sweet little hedgehog love and God's blessing to you all Bondi vets ♥️♥️♥️🐕🐕🐾🐾🐾🐾
It is truly amazing what they can do for rehab these days! It brings tears to my eyes! So 😊! Bless and thank you!
Love Bear and Sunday. How lucky to have a chiropractor for a 'dad'? I've always admired Labs but they are so large and my house is small. But they seem to bond so well to their families and the people the service dogs help. I've never been around Rotties, but this one appears to be every bit as loving as the Lab.
The surgeon Munjid Al Muderis who operated on Sunday was a boat refugee, He is now one of Australia's top pioneering orthopedic surgeons. It just shows what enrichment these people can be to one's country.
He was recently investigated for malpractice.
Oh my gosh the sweetest little hedgehog his little foot all wrapped up before surgery so sad but so cute
I am blown away at how far we have come not only with human medicine but also pet medicine too!!! 20 years ago if someone told me a dog had a prosthetic leg or something I would have laughed and said ya right. Now it seems pets are getting them done just as much as we do as human! I would love to see this type of technology and treatment be offered world wide!
Scott, are there no wildlife centers in the UK that could make a 3 legged hedgehog an ambassador for the species & teach people about these animals ??
I don’t know Bonnie well enough to determine her level of anxiety, but she looks pretty chill❄️❄️ to me😌
Bless you Matt ! Dogs need this too as well as humams
If I lived in the UK and had a home with a good sized garden I would create a hedgehog sanctuary.
That be COOL, hope it happens for YOU. What a caring person you are. 😊✌🐩
@@elizabethtorres3491 She said 'IF' she lived in the UK and 'IF' she had a good sized garden, so unfortunately it's only what she'd like to do, not what she can do.
One of the big problems for hedgehogs is not so much that they don't have the potential for enough territory as that most gardens are much better fenced than they were 10 or 20 years ago so the hedgehogs can't get their typical nightly 3 mile route in search of food going from garden to garden. There is a big movement (but not big enough) for people to add hedgehog holes to their fences.
@@laceandbits WOW, way to go Dream Wrecker. 😑
@@laceandbits I'd think they'd probably feed Tripod, not expect him to hunt. If a she-hedgehog in similar shape (suffering from an accident, not a congenital deformity) needed a mate, that could be arranged.
@@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 DId I ever say or hint even that they wouldn't? My comments about the hedgehog population in the UK were about the wild and healthy ones.
It was stated in the programme that this particular one was being rehomed somewhere with a secure garden so that he couldn't get out. As that's the case they would obviously have to feed him as one garden may well not have enough natural food for him.
Nurse Nathan’s fan club are always happy to see him !
Sunday is a beautiful dog hopefully they can fix her leg & make her better & feel better. We love our animals & the vets who help us make them feel better & help us take care of them.
Those collars that storm had crack me up. Always remind me of frilled lizards
I'm pretty sure I saw Dr. Noel do this on a cat, but then again he's done a ton of bionic surgeries on animals 🤗💖🌹
He has done it on hundreds of cats and dogs 😁 he developed this procedure and designed the implants
I love Dr Noel
I agree! Dr. Noel Fitzpatrick has been doing this type of surgery for years. His implants are designed w/a special medium at the end which allows the skin to adhere to it.
I’m a fan of his shows and yes he has done it on a black cat, but both back legs.
Do you know weather he has a TH-cam channel or not?
@@jenrandell2499 I don't think he has his own you tube channel but if you just type in noel Fitzpatrick you will find lots of clips and interviews
poor little hedgehog 🦔 glad he’s going to be taken care of. he’s adorable. thanks, Scott :) 🌷🌱
Yea, puppies!! :) 🐶 🌿🌼
Fell totally in love with Tripod❤
I love this show, these doctors and nurses are so amazing with the animals and the owners
The surgery Sunday had was pretty amazing. Hopefully it will help the animal world save more limbs instead of removing them or even euthanasia. Love this show. 🙂❤
Professor Noel Fitzpatrick (UK) developed this procedure and has been doing it for more than 10 years
Australians are awesome to their pets shows they are intelligent
I wish everyone could feel the way I feel about the Life of every dog
I love this video it was fantastic and to see a prosthetic been done on a dogs foot wow that’s just incredible well done to all the team that did that amazing surgery
Poor little creatures and I'm happy that everything turns out well
Great job on all fronts. I hope Hedgie finds a good home! Team work on the puppy brigade was amazing, as was the high tech foot surgery. Thank you for all you do. Happy New Year from New Hampshire, USA.
This has been done more in animals!! Noel Fitzpatrick the Bionic Vet does this and has done for years!!
Greetings from the United States 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
All of you did a great job
Our black lab had a rear leg amputated. He still jumped over fences and ran as if 4 legged. Easy to pee on trees Lol! Just could not mount neighbor dog as he'd tip over trying 😉
"Monthly dose of hedgehog" 😂Love hedgies! Still haven't finished the vid - hope the amputation goes well!
I am amazed that these vets are so far behind in their information for animal implant technology . This is not new when Noel Fitzpatrick's work is so well documented.
In medical terminology, this stuff is still pretty new.

Omg Sunday you go girl bit won't be long until your owner will be trying to run after you keep up the exercises you will be the fastest runner in the park.well done ✅✅ beautiful Sunday.
Sunday is NOT the first one in the world. FAR from it. Australia? Yes, but the world? Nope! Look up The Bionic Vet who has been doing this everyday for YEARS. Come on Bondi! DO your research! You guys could totally learn from the amazing work that vet does.
Professor Noel Fitzpatrick is his name
@@tiamariajones6634 yes, I know. ^_^
Sunday reminds me in a way of a dog in our neighborhood when I was a kid. This dog was a liver-spotted dalmatian, missing his left front paw. His owner would take him for walks, and didn't look like he was happy at all. But one day I bravely asked him what was wrong with his dog's foot, and he replied he was born with it. This was in the early 60s.
It hurts me to see Sunday in distress 🖤 I hope there is something they can do for her 🖤
I’m surprised you guys didn't consult The Supervet, Dr. Noel Fritzpatrick, about this prosthetic implant. He’s doing this kind of orthopedic surgery for decades, and it is no longer a novel idea or practice. He literally invented this procedure! If you had consulted him, that implant on that beautiful Rottweiler would have functioned much more naturally.
The specialist { Noel Fitzpatrick } in the UK does prosthetic limbs for all animals and has done so for many years, I’m surprised it hasn’t taken off much sooner around the world. I have to say I’m a bit shocked that these vets are claiming that the Rottweiler is the first in the world to have this procedure done…
Drama is the name of the game. I agree whole heartedly, credit should be given where it is deserved. Now the human surgeons working on a dog may be the claim to fame here, but the animal bionics are not.
It's pretty bad they not mention Noel for this. Just because but hey want drama. Would they want the same treatment?
i love this show it has help me in so many ways
The Super vet in the Uk does this operation all the time.
Check out the bionic vet, he does ground breaking surgery on pets here in the UK
Not only does it but developed the surgery and the prosthetics
The rotwiler breaks 😢my heart .
Simply love this show💜💜
that’s fabulous that he’s a chiropractor. we have a guy who adjusts animals here in america, too. i always thought it would be great to do that. :) 🐶🐕🌷🌱
Every time I watch the other vets it makes me appreciate chris Scott Andrew and the blonde one that sings the into song ( not lisa ) lisa and the other font hold a candle to them
Poor pup,I can't imagine what she's going through.
thank you Noel Fitzpatrick for perfecting these procedures yrs ago
greatings from Austria and love
omg i cantttt!! MY HEART!! i want all the puppies!!! so cute
Seeing Bonnie brings tears to my eyes. She looks just like my boy Obie (who is missing one eye spot), who has been gone for a few years now but ha never been forgotten.
I had an unplanned hospital birth, too, Storm. I feel ya.
I feel for Storm my son was breach and after about 17 hours of labour and 4 hours in transition my lizard brain took over and I tried to leave the hospital... I informed my doctor and concerned husband that I was done and needed to go home now. Apparently not as uncommon as one would think, it triggered my doctor though since such behavior is common in problem births.
Bear's owner was going on about how he'd do anything at all for him, he's part of the family... yet he's had those lumps growing for 'years'. So I guess he'd do anything except take his beloved family member to the vets to get checked sooner?
Calling the bionic vet Dr. Noel Fitzpatrick!
How do you wait for years when lumps form on your dog? I really hope he was at the vet's before. You would never wait this long with your kids.
If the number of hedgehogs is so low in Britain, why not breed the ones that can't be released, and increase their numbers even more than just fixing and releasing one?
They’re not giving Noel Fitzpatrick credit. he started this whole darn thing. it’s not their technology, it’s his!!! he pioneered all the technology and methods. there are loads of animals in England with prosthetics now. do look him up :). i am glad though, that Noel’s research is finally spreading out from England. he’s a fantastic man and vet. :) 🐶🐕🌷🌱
(some of his research is even being transferred to people.)
During Sundays surgery I’m literally imagining the theme to the Six Million Dollar Man.
