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 the owner of a lemur with a broken toe!

Dr. K must quickly perform an intricate surgery to remove more than a dozen eggs from a tortoise. An owner expects to hear the worst when she brings in her corn snake with some discolored scales.

Some days are more about educating pet-parents than treating patients. Dr. K confronts a marmoset owner who is taking the animal on public outings. Meanwhile, Dr. Diaz sees a kinkajou with a breathing problem.

Dr. K tackles a series of tricky surgeries, including a bunny nose-job entailing a precarious power-tool entry – Dr. K must carefully calculate measurements to avoid boring a hole into the bunny's mouth or brain.

Dr. K starts this challenging day with Chloe, a 6-year-old guinea pig who is having a seizure. A catheter is inserted to get fluids and medications into the guinea pig as quickly as possible.

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.
