Dr. K must quickly perform an intricate surgery to remove more than a dozen eggs from the tortoise. An owner expects to hear the worst when she brings in her corn snake with some discolored scales. Finally, Dr. K has a galago as a patient for the first time! Also known as a bush baby, this one comes in for neutering, but other things become apparent once the surgery begins.

Dr. K treats Cece, a veiled chameleon who is clearly egg-bound. The only way the eggs are coming out is through surgical intervention. But a veiled chameleon is a very small patient, making the procedure difficult. The doctor also sees long-time patient Fletcher, a red lored Amazon, who has a mass in the sinus cavity. She takes Fletcher to surgery for an endoscopy, but quickly realizes that he is too weak to handle the anesthesia.

While Dr. K and Dr. Diaz are at a veterinary conference, Dr. Thielen will be on her own. The minute the seasoned doctors are off to the conference, Dr. Thielen gets an emergency call from a client with a lemur! Dr. Thielen doesn't have much experience with primates, let alone lemurs, and this one has a broken toe. Next, Dr. Thielen has her hands full dealing with a chicken with a prolapsed cloaca, an itchy guinea pig named Lucky and a wellness check with a litter-box-trained Russian tortoise.
