Dr. K and her staff are faced with many difficult cases this week. A pot-bellied pig comes into the clinic with an obstruction in her stomach that leads to emergency surgery. A salomon boa presents with a bad respiratory infection that can lead to death if not treated properly. A black swan is rushed in after being run over by a car. The swan must have surgery but may not survive due to the severity of the injury. Dr. Thielen sadly has to diagnose a 5-year-old Ferret with insulinoma, which is a fatal pancreatic cancer that occurs in over 60 percent of the species. And an egg-bound turtle must lay 12 eggs to avoid surgery.

Dr. K helps a bunny with a bad eye and a bleeding Sumo Dragon. Later, she treats a macaw with a mass and a marmoset going into premature labor.

Dr. K figures out why a giant rabbit is lethargic and helps a yellow-naped Amazon suffering from infection and arthritis, an anemic hawk and a wobbly hedgehog.
