Jax the Skinny Puppy, EPI

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ธ.ค. 2024
- Meet Jax. Jax was going to be euthanized because he had been a sick pup his whole life. Dr. Matt adopted Jax because he didn't want that to happen and diagnosed EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency). EPI is usually pretty straightforward to treat but Jax had some life-threatening problems along the way. Follow Jax through his recovery!

If you would like to learn more about the Vet Ranch goal and possibly donate, please visit our site at www.vetranchres.... The only thing holding us back at the moment is lack of funds. There is no shortage of pets in need, so every donation means more lives we can positively change. We thank you SO MUCH for helping our cause.

I like how Jax, after slipping further and further away after his surgery, one day just woke up, decided "Fuck this, I'm not ready to die," ripped out his own feeding tube, and started getting better.
Right!!!
My dog was similar. He had infections from pancreatitis, his stomach was severely inflamed, his liver values were going up and up, he wouldn't eat, completely motionless, started dropping heart beats, was at the hospital for a month, put in a feeding tube and just like this guy he yanked it out and started eating. Tireless efforts from 24/7 vet care and my loving cuddles sitting on the hospital floor with him and he lived.
That was a $6k bill. Another time he needed a $3k surgery. Dogs can be problem free (like his brother who's had no problems) but they can be very expensive. Over-breeding with no owner or breeder screening is just plain irresponsible when a life hangs in the balance.
Jax The Badass.
by month I meant week. God neither my heart nor my wallet could have handled a month. D :
lol
This man about to have his own personal stair case to heaven
chicken legs add a personal escalator or high-speed elevator would be more likely the case.
in gold
With some diamond and silver and some pizza and spaghetti
I was about to write precisely the same thing.
naw hes got a full mush team to pull him up there.
When matts not shooting guns he’s saving puppies.
Evan Johnson
This guy is awesome!
Or cats
Animals* he dosent only save dogs
Correction common pets
i agree
This video saved my dogs life because he had the same problem. Thank you so so much
Theodore Martin that's so cool!!
Cool
Theodore Martin awww hope hes doing good!
Nikolas Kroslak hi hater get out
Should have let him go bud
"SCREW THIS. No more tube! I want SOLID FOOD."
Alyssa Dower get me some turkey sandwiches. grrrr!!!!
Even better? It was his turning point for the better!
When he said "check this out we tought jax a new trick" i thought he was gonna sit or dance but it turned out to be "its called eating".......... Lol
I'm a vet to and I've come across this 2 times and both times i took the dog in Maggie and Timmy and I cracked a smile because i thought I was the only one who had 2 amazing dogs who survived this ;)
Great job!!! Thanks for commenting Doc.
+michael Jones wait a second... your not the same guy... what the shit...
nathan nesbit posted the first comment, but youre michael jones.
+myastroflight The only thing wrong with what he typed/said besides the fact he put the wrong too/to, so I'm curious to know what else you see that he messed up on I his "grammar"
Was that like grass inside him?
i think veterinarians are severely underrated in comparison to thier doctors who treat humans.
+EJ Ioane ya they are this is probably a sample of what they do
its harder to b6e a vet too
In many country's, it is WAY harder to become veterinarian than doctor, for example in France, or most of European country's !
+Carl “NCZK” Jontza v
Veterinarian's are NOT underrated compared to doctors. Veterinarian's serve a large purpose. Animals out there who are suffering are treated by this wonderful people. Becoming a veterinarian is also very hard. :|
In case you dont understand the magnitude of your contribution to this world, I want to tell you. You are God's gift to the world. May He continue to bless you & all those with you forever.
God dosen't exist.
@@Fartucus nice bro
@@Fartucus who really knows? cant speak myself on a topic i know nothing about but i mean cmon the bible was man made and written but who knows maybe he is real and makes peoples lives better or maybe hes not and they believe in something that is made up for donations and money but we really dont know
I think that Jax got all the grass in him from when he was tied up by his owners, he must have been staving so much that he started eating grass that where around him.
But I'm really happy to see him happy and healthy!
+Josefine Quach Not necessarily, Matt said he'd stopped eating of his own volition. Sounds more like boredom induced pica if he spent most of his time chained in the same spot.
One of my past dogs ate grass I think grass eating is just a thing
+Asdfghjkl;' 123456789 I concur.
I think ur right
+Keith Knoesel really my dogs are always eating grass when we walk them but I tell them to stop because I don't want them to get sick
whoever donated thx for doing that
Omg, thats alot of grass
G_ryphon - exactly what I tought
Hunger breeds desperation unfortunately
Some would say saving a dog like this isn't worth the effort or expense. All you need to do is read his tail language now to see he deserved every chance to live. Thanks for not giving up on him.
nozmoking1 in his heart he is gratful f all who said it wasent woth it
nozmoking1 in his heart he is gratful f all who said it wasent woth it
It was just so satisfying to see you pull all that grass out... In a weird kind of way
yes
ikr😂
+Mette T You like the zit popping videos, and bug stuck in ear videos to huh?
no they are really disgusting its just a pleasure to see the puppy getting it all out of his system so he can be healthy again
+Mette T
.
I agree o3o
Back in the day when dr. Matt is still quite serious than how goofy he is now. 😁😁😁😁
Love your vids dr. Matt 😊
Too bad he decided to stop helping out the fur babies and focus on just video nonsense.
*that would be cool to get updates on older cases like this*
Lovie DeBiasio they cant be updated cuz they get adopted in a week
Yeah
That would be a lot of fun! I know it would be a lot of extra work...but perhaps a few times a year they could do a “what’s up with...” and see if the adoptees would send a short video or pics.
Did anyone else find the grass removal REEEEALLY satisfying?
Yes I did
Just found a little puppy a couple days ago on the road that almost got hit by a car and told my wife to turn around so we found her and brought her home. She was nothing but bones and skin but Zoey is doing great now 🙂
God bless you, doctor, and the person who funded dear Jax's treatment. you did a wonderful thing. Jax is a special boy.
Yes. thank you so much donor. Dr. Matt. ... dogs can't eat grass ???????
+munna k Dogs will typically eat small amounts of grass, and that's perfectly normal. Even though they can't digest it, it typically gets passed through them by the other food that they eat. I'd guess whilst Jax was tied up outside that's largely what he was eating, and if he wasn't digesting his food then there'd be nothing to pass all the plant material through him
+liwmld yes may God Himself divinely bless a well paid vet for doing his job!wtf
SnorkFlirt There's no need to mock someone for their beliefs, if you can't say anything constructive then it's best you don't say anything.
you're a good guy, Mr. Gardner. i ignore the ignorant comments... i feel sorry for those poor folks. i figure they must not have anything in their lives to make them happy. they are just miserable souls and deserve my pity and prayers :)
This is one of the reasons why I can't keep a dog. I need to be 100% sure that I can afford all my future dog's medical bills because there's no way in hell I'm abandoning him if he happens to have any major medical issue.
Lol ya. When my dog turned 1 and a half his adisons disease surfaced for the first time. Cost me 1,200 dollars and 130 every other month and 15 in pills every 4 months. I was 16 I think. I'm glad I did nothing but work in highschool.
My sis began to cry in the end she said "this is so sad but happy too" 😭😭
Anyone think that him pulling the grass out of the intestines was satisfying?
It was so satisfying though
yeah I guess were both weird human beings xD
Yes! Even though I knew that some poop were mixed with those grass and leaves, it was still satisfying!
I am also subscribed to Dr. Sandra Lee.
+GeeCee Hahahaha I love Dr. Lee.
mayhem beading
Happy to see a co-popaholic in the comment section. ;)
Matt: "I think I might set up a nonprofit organization."
Me: Well I think you succeeded.
"I hope we will have more success stories like Jax in the future.." - little did he know what the future held :) :)
You can help by simply not skipping the ads...vet ranch makes a little more per video this way (I'm not affiliated with VR, just trying to help a bit)
Cary Jane how about when my comuter glitches and plays the same ad indefanently until i relode i think that helps a bit
What about the horror movie ones? I'm 11. Not sure I want to watch those...
TheIris1002 uh yeah, that probably helps :)
:P
Really? I never knew that.
Call me creepy but that was so satisfying when they pulled the crap out
Long scallop omg I thought the same :o
Long scallop haha me too
I felt the same way lol
I thought It was a cow.
we knew it was gonma make him better lol
I am totally awestruck.😱 I'm glad you didn't give up on him.😷They must have starved him for him to eat that many branches!!! You are truly an angel 😇 I am really amazed!!!
Bathesheba Beautiful I don’t think he was being underfed. Dogs eat grass when they have digestive issues or nutritional deficiencies. My hunch is that due to his pancreatic condition, he wasn’t absorbing any nutrients from his food. So despite being fed, he had nutritional deficiencies, which his body reacted to by saying “eat some grass! for the nutrients!”. And then it produced a vicious cycle of being unable to eat, making the problem worse.
Dogs that have this condition are always hungry and will eat the dinner then whatever they can find until they get to the point where they are so malnourished they just stop eating
Ya know, I bet it'd be worthwhile for the big dog food companies to come up with a food already fortified with the enzymes.
That is a great idea. There are special dog food for UTI’s and whatnot.
Larry Flake
Holy crap, that’s an amazing idea! They should do it, and make it cost friendly..
ya great idea
Nah....everyone /animals and humans/ have enzymes naturally.
It's easier to just add to the food. Who knows about quality control at a plant packing. Depending on the size of the dog, you would need to add enough enzymes. Already canned could harm a small dog. Or, not enough for a large dog. Adding to the food exact amount for digestion is much easier. And cheaper. I do it for my cat uye to vomiting. So you can add more if the animal vomits often. See?
My cat sometimes developes crystals in his bladder, which is super painful for him, and there is some foods that we can give him when his bladder starts to act up. It’s a life saver for him!!
The footage of the grass being pulled out of Jax's intestines is both the grossest and most strangely pleasing thing I've seen all day.
I don't get how people dislike this I mean he helps animals in need
"we taught him a new trick, it's called 'eating'" I couldn't stop laughing at that for some reason XD
Choux same
Choux me to its so weird
XD
Maybe they should teach that trick to Eugenia Cooney
Choux f
jax is my favorite vet ranch patient
I love this story! Thank you to the one who donated the $2,000 to save Jacks’ life! We take it for granted when an animal is healthy, but let’s not overlook getting the sick and injured back to an optimal state of health and wellness! I will be donating soon so I too can help future Jacks not be euthanized!💕💕💕
"We have ads on these videos. The revenue, that goes to support these pets too.."
//Immediately turns off ad block//
Nether Warrior He's a vet. He makes money. And land in rural Texas is REALLY cheap.
Since he has stated that Vet Ranch Inc. is a non-profit they would have to file public tax records. All expenses would be listed. If you were concerned enough you could check them out, just to be sure.
It's Dat Roy Yup. Whitelisted right away.
TH-cam is youtube because of ads. I'm far from a moral warrior but you shouldn't use adblock....
Just to clarify the cost of property, I bought 40 acres for 55 k. So yea its affordable and doable without being super rich. I should know I too live in Texas.... And I plan on buying more LAND!!!!!!!!!!! He is a vet, owns businesses and flips houses and still finds time to both entertain and make the youtube world a better place. He also has other channels. So the fact that the comment about him making money off of the channel merely for selfish reasons is asinine. If he makes bank due to his other channels, so what, HE has earned it! You rock Matt, keep on keeping on!
I don't know why, but the removal of that grass looks really satisfying, but this is such a sad case!
THIS is the video that introduced me to Demolition Ranch. Needless to say I was surprised at seeing this other side of Dr Matt. LOL I shan't spoiler the experience of learning about Demo Ranch. All I'll say is that it's pretty hilarious fun …in an explosive way! 😉😅😁
Binge watching...😃😊😋
Getting lumps in the throat at beginning...😭😭😭
then a goofy smile at the end 😁😁😂😝
He kept his word.
saving them all💙💚💛💜
[AGP] Peakjas
thanks
No Comment-Kd *his word.
If you write "he's word" it means "he is word" which doesn't make sense. :)
Eule *Thanks I guess*
No Comment-Kd Sorry, my inner grammar nazi came out. XDD
And yet you spelled 'which' as 'wich'...Back to grammar Nazi school for you.
Should be a tv show
I’m tearing up watching this video. It’s an old video but I love the story... Thanks, dr. Thank you 🙏🏼
You are demolition ranch guy?!?!?! No way! When I thought you couldn't get any cooler! :D
u didnt know?
zhaneranger he is hot too
isabel norton chill
ari go away
isabel norton you need to chill and back off
Whoever donated I love you as I wish you a good life
So this is where the abandoned pet project was born?! Thank you Jax!
It's so satisfying when he took out the grass from Jax stomc don't judge if I'm weird ok
Completely agree. The amount of stuff was unbelievable. It must have been such a relief to find that stuff and get it out.
Vet Ranch FTW!!!
Another touching but great video, keep up the good work Matt! Btw is he an English pointer?
I would like to donate by buying a Demolition Ranch T-shirt, I know its not much but if every viewer on here bought one T-shirt then thats a lot of money towards your charity. Can you ship a T-shirt to the UK? I will ask around my friends and family and see how many orders i can get for you.
Lola Lilly Great idea, what about South Africa?
And amazing work Vet Ranch, keep it up!!
You're such an unbelievably amazing person.
One quick question/concern:
Are you worried about bloat when he eats and then, shortly after, runs?
I think u look familiar demolition ranch
You aré one of the only things that make me beleive in humanity
Morgane Paquet OMG me too
That makes me very sad. I have worked in healthcare for 35 years and I believe in humanity just because of that.
that is so refreshing to saw that all the nasty stuffs already gone from his body....thanks GOD thanks VET Ranch
How did God help?
+Harry Williams dude just don't...
+why712-asmr darlings personal account aye stfu
I've been binge watching all these videos and I love them ❤️you guys are truly miracles ❤️
Same
Mxrtality _
I thought you said Binge eating after watching this video. And I was concernd for you.
Mxrtality so true
I wish there was a love button for this video. When you showed him in “2.0” version of himself I started crying and I watch all your videos I never cry but I was just so happy and thankful that you helped this dog so much. May God bless you you are an amazing human being and I wish they were more people like you!
im glad they signed him over. some people would just leave and dump him like trash.
+Anthony Smith you are an idiot. fuck off
+xhellboundx You rekt him and he deleted his reply, Dayummmm
Poor baby he must have been so hungry eating grass. That is NOT okay
+Nahodakk more like asshole owners
+Nahodakk i don't know why but this comment made my day
Dogs eat grass to throw up when they get sick
+Apex Reactions and then his body couldnt digest the grass so it just got stuck there
+Nahodakk I'm going to die for laughing at this
Many years late, but thank you to whoever donated the money to save this dog. Thank you
I'll never skip a ad on this channel again 😔
Is it weird to say that Dr. Matt is an amazing guy? I mean he's saved a lot of dogs over the years!
Why would it be Weird??
Not weird at all! He is amazing :)
He isn't amazing.....
He's also awesome, the best super vet, cool, loving, big hearted, life saver, miracle worker, amazing, and extra. So yeah there's my point idk why =P
Don't forget squirrels
He is a superhero
OMG! I love his big floppy ears! I have a Treeing Walker, and she has floppy ears too. I love hound dogs! :)
wow! it mustve made him feel SO MUCH better to have that shit out of his stomach (after the week)! i wish there was more footage of him having the grass taken out of his stomach.. it was oddly satisfying
Crystal xoxox I know right! I couldn't take my eyes away 😂
Sophia Carstens im one of those people who LOVE watching pimples get popped and all that stuff, and id want a whole video dedicated just to the grass getting pulled out 😂
Crystal xoxox Omg I am to 😂😂 we are just the weirdest people you'll ever find jk no where all different
Crystal xoxox EFGHIJKLMNoQRsTUVWXYZ
Crystal xoxox
I'm not crying my eyes are just sweating
I'm commenting on a 7 year old video, I hope he is having or had a good life thanks to you guys!
"... a little different than this channel" he says.
Is it weird that I find the grass being pulled out oddly satisfying? The way it just kinda pops out, looks like it would be such a relief for the little guy!
Big bravo and huge thanks to the person who paid for Jax. You're a hero, even though life is priceless you bought him a new one
Oh, how much I love you matt, even in what was the darkest times of this dog's life you pulled through and got this dog his life back.
I'd be amazed if this guy hasn't been approached for a reality show yet...so likeable!
This man has a family of 4 (including his wife), is a vet and saves life's, has 3 TH-cam channels, knows lots about guns and has an amazing personalitly
so he was literally starving where he was at before and was eating grass to fill a stomach that's really sad
i literally started crying at this comment
..pooe baby
Really sad, glad he got the help he deserved.
His prior owners were feeding him, however, his condition (EPI) restricted his body's ability to break down and use nutrients which was causing his weight loss and PICA (craving and consumption of non-food substances/objects).
incorrect
How so Keem?
My goal in life is to shake your hand, you sir are an amazing man
Dear lord please bless Matt , thank you very much Matt for not giving up on Jax ....
God bless to the man who donated
I have the same need for enzymes, since I only have a partial pancreas. It costs $900 a month, but I negotiated with the company to pull my copay down to $5 a month. The poops are insanely painful and wracking on the body. I'm so glad he feels better now.
Wow, that are some serious negotiation skills!
Speech 100
I love coming back to this video and watching the grass being pulled,, so satisfying
i cannot believe how much you took out of him. . . . it was sooo much
one of our cats got sick. she wouldn't eat for two days, she was not social, she would barely move, and she hid under beds and closets. on the 2nd day I realized she wouldn't drink water. my boyfriend gave her water with a syringe feeder and he took her to the vet very early that next morning. they told us they can try to save her, but she may not make it. and then told us that it would not be cheap to run tests and treat her. it took a tow on our savings with my boyfriend being in college at the time and my restaurant wages. but, we came up with the money and ate Roman noodles for a while. the vets did their magic. she had some kind of parasite. from either an animal ( like a mouse or a bird) or a bug. they told us that we brought her in just in time. when an animal doesn't eat and looses weight it is a big warning sign!! their organs can start to fail, quickly. our cats are our little children. when we picked her up at the vet( 2 days later) to take her home, three of the employees told her bye and petted her and one of them said that she always loved to see a happy ending. once in a while you get some that are too far gone to help, or the families can't pay the bill. then she said we all just happy she made it. our cat is Happy and healthy. vets are awesome!!!!
Mishee Anderson my hamster had a tumor. The vet bill was $200. One month later my mom squished my hamster on accident.... -I made it awkward-
My cat stopped eating and drinking as well, my mom didn’t take him to the vet so he didn’t make it.
Been watching Vet Ranch more regularly now for the past. 2 weeks since my back & neck surgery and I have to say.......this is one of the best videos I've watched and it actually made me want to donate more on a regular basis.
Vet ranch... From the bottom of my heart... THANK you for your efforts.
You're a amazing person for not giving up on this great dog.
Thank you Dr Matt and The donor for bringing hope and inspiration to us all.
“Look at that buzzard circlin’ him. It’s like he knows...” 😂
I can't believe that he had all that stuff in his stomach! Wow, I'm glad he's ok!
I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but Dr. Matt is somewhat attractive. Aaand you can tell he knows it.
He's sexy and he knows it.
+Jane Tris two kids
+Julie Clark "Somewhat"? He is outright attractive! :-)
+Julie Clark Oh coome on ladies. Yes, he is married and he has 3 nice children, two daughters and one son. Yes he is somehow sexy, but not for me :D (sorry Matt), I like him for his goodness to animals and how he is fun ;)
+Mari B. oops is so old vid =-O
Whoever donated the money, thank you. You saved a life and that is hero stuff in my book. I'm just starting the vet ranch series and I will let the ads fly to give you the fractions that make the animals whole.
I was in deep depression when I found this. First time i'd smiled in weeks!
I'm thinking there is a spot reserved in heaven for Dr. Matt
Poor Jax, what a lot of suffering he's been through. Thank you so much to yourselves and your donor! I'm so thankful and happy that you operated on him and saved his life!
The one channel I wouldn't mind ads on.
+steven mackenzie ya same
Finally, the video that got the charity effort started. Nice work, doc! Glad you were able to finally diagnose this guy.
It warms the heart to see such sad, abandoned animals become happy, loved creatures when given a second chance.
I've got 2 rescue horses and 4 rescue dogs, and they're so cute and loving, they want more hugs and love and it's amazing
I have literally binge watched every video on this channel as well as dr Matt's other channel and I don't even like guns and stuff😂 I don't think this channel gets the recognition it should. They really are doing gods work
A total case of neglect and abuse! Infuriating! He is such a little sweetie too. Bless his heart. So happy to see this wonderful happy ending for Jax!
9:22 the most oddly satisfying thing ever
gibsondeis ikr
gibsondeis yeah i can deal with that because its showing you whAT HAPPENS AND HOW THEY SAVE THEM sry about caps
gibsondeis SAME I think it's my ocd idk :/
Ikr? Probably my OCD
gibsondeis ikr
this man has guns with a good heart
I love black and white doggos. My heart was black and white. Keep up the good work
Dr. Matt, you have a heart of gold! I have a female Walker/Beagle mix, as well as a Sharpei/ Yellow Lab. My Sharpie?Lab has a chronic skin yeast infection because of the Sharpei in him. It's really hard for me to have both dogs because of this, but my son dumped the hound on me, because she has a lot of psych issues, and he found out quick that dogs aren't cheap, but I refuse to take her back to the shelter, because I know that they will put her down. I have been working with her for a year now, and she has improved quite a bit. She no longer is food aggressive, she is house broken, I can bath her now, but she still won't allow me to cut her nails. She was traumatized really bad, so the vet has to cut them. Fortunately the vet is going to help me work on this, as putting her to sleep each time is quite expensive. They are also going to work on calming her down some. I have faith in God that He will help me provide for them, so I don't worry so much now. I love watching your video's and get a lot of advice from it. Thank you so much!
God, this story is such a stunning mixture of heartbreak and joy. You're an incredible person for refusing to give up on this dog. He's beyond lucky that he was taken to you.
I love Vet Ranch! Going to make a donation. After watching Vet Ranch I always want to hug my rescued pit bull a little tighter.
You are doing a great thing for others. This is something that is lacking in the people now days. Too many only care about themselves and how much money they can make/steal from others. Keep making the world a better place for everyone.
Aww your so awsome I wanna give you a hug 💗💗💗💗 you have restored my faith in humanity
Great to see some of the older content. I miss videos on this channel!
I had no idea about the ads. I'll never skip another ad again! Vet Ranch are true angels!
So much stuff was stuck in there! It's amazing he was still going to the toilet! I can't imagine how much pain the poor thing must have been in constantly!
This case is probably the most intense, most heartwarming one of all vet ranch videos. You could really see how emotionally invested he gets into saving Jax. It was so up and down, and got to the point where jax was showing improvement, then suddenly nose dived... and you could just see in the vets eyes that he KNEW that Jax was gonna die. When he decided to do that emergency invasive surgery, and started pulling out all that grass I started crying. I have so much respect for this guy for going to that extra length to save the little guy. Seeing Jax starting to eat again after teetering on the edge of death for so long was enough to make me weep. I love vet ranch videos, but something about this video just puts it above the rest in my mind... such an emotional roller coaster.
I CRIED!!! JAX UR ARE A HERO!!! FOR NOT DYING
