It honestly almost brought a tear to my eye when you said you've successfully helped and adopted out over 150 reptiles and amphibians. You guys are using your fame and resources in some of the best possible ways and I can't even imagine how thankful all of those amazing animals are that theyve gotten the chance to go through adoption island with you

[@philippak7726]

exactly what was going through my mind. I was thinking "it's been a few months, maybe one or two a week, gotta be around 30 right?" then 150! Top percentage!

[@Bunny-bo2sr]

I agree also he looked so much better I'm glad he was put into this care. His head also looked swollen in the before compared to the after and I can't imagine how much better that poor little geko felt.

[@blobbertmcblob4888]

"I think he did better than most people at the doctor" Yeah, whenever I go to the doctor, as soon as they let me out of my carrier, I run around the room in a panic, hide under the table and stand on the counter with my back arched to look bigger. I'm not allowed to bite anyone anymore though. If I do it again, I might go to jail =(

[@lulu.filmss]

?????? What?!

[@lulu.filmss]

Weird……

[@salaltschul3604]

Try hissing. Might keep them away so you don't have to bite them. Or, if you sit in the corner with your back to the doctor and ignore them. That'll help too.

In nursing school i learned to never dip cotton or cloth into the fluid or hold it against the opening of the bottle. The cotton is not sterile and will make the whole bottle non sterile aswell! Its better to pour it over the cotton or cloth. This may make a mess but it prevents contamination! I don't know if it is as important when working with reptiles but I thought you guys might like this little fact!

[@raerohan4241]

You can also pour a tiny bit out into a dish or plate and soak it up from there, that's what I prefer to do. Hate it when stuff splashes everywhere, especially something betadine which would stain if it got onto your clothes

[@ashla2628]

I work as a licensed vet tech in an animal hospital, I cannot express how great full I am for what you said about making appointments at the vet. COVID hit the veterinary community particularly hard, nationwide, as you said. The pet population has doubled and we have fewer staff than ever with one of the highest suicide rates in the nation. We are so swamped that on my days off, I often spend most of the day asleep from exhaustion. Thank you so much for briefly bringing that up and explaining why non life threatening emergencies can wait. Clients often get mad when they are in the waiting room for long periods of time, and a new client runs in with an emergency and gets rushed straight to the back, and the owners placed in a room. They often fail to understand why that pet was seen so quickly when the reality is, you don’t want to be in a situation where you’re pet is the one being rushed to the back. The biggest thing I can say when taking your pets to the hospital regardless of the reason, just be nice! More times than not, the staff is overworked, under paid, and beyond exhausted. A small act of kindness goes a long way! Thank you Emily!!!

[@RoseabzillaEm]

I imagine it's like going to the er where maybe I've been waiting 2 hours because of a stomach ache but someone in an ambulance gets rushed back. It sucks for me bc I'm hurting but I don't want to be that person who was rushed back because of a fatal wreck or heart attack or something else.

Gummy is so cute, especially how he held his mouth wide open at the end like he was showing off his healed mouth! And Gus, with the way he waves, SO CUTE!

[@roxbuchanan6357]

Gummy kind of reminds me, with his refusal to smile like a "normal" leopard gecko, of the Muppet Sam the American Eagle. He constantly disapproves of all the insanity of the Muppets, and for some reason, Gummy's expression reminds me of Sam.

[@pamspray5254]

[@kyletheswan4513]

This one hits a little close to home. My first lizard had mouth rot, leisions and a form of cancer in his mouth, I ended up making the decision of putting him down, thank you for covering this so other people can fix this problem before it gets out of hand

[@ettinakitten5047]

My childhood cat had to be put down for mouth cancer, too. He was 3 months younger than me, born in our home as part of an unplanned litter, and was my oldest friend both in life stage and chronological duration of friendship. When they found the cancer, it had taken over half his jaw, and they told me that if they removed it, he would likely refuse to eat and starve to death. At least he had a good long life - he was 21, which is *ancient* for a cat.

[@artistallie1204]

I can’t get over how upset that poor guy was 🤣 his face just read: “don’t touch meee” I’m surprised he didn’t do his screams, if I hold my little dude he makes the cutest grunting noises and likes to sing to me the songs of his people.

Working in the vet industry, thank you for understanding!! We are SWAMPED! Its always nice to hear when people are understanding of the long wait times for appointments!

I really love this "recovery series" it's so informative and is also nice to see the animals heal and thrive.

[@ettinakitten5047]

One of my favorite shows on KZbin for awhile was Vet Ranch, but they've changed format and it's a lot less appealing to me. These reptile recovery videos are basically the same design, but with reptiles. I really like videos that start with a sick or injured animal, explain exactly what's wrong and what they're doing to help, and continue the story until they're all better.

I’ll be looking into get some for my scaly kids!

[@fiblet8223]

Thank you for recognizing how swamped vets are right now! My mom is a vet, and has told me how not only are they busy because people are adopting more pets, they are home with their pets more and notice the littlest normal things. She said she couldn’t count how many people came in for seizures because they were watching their dogs sleep and twitch in their dreams.

[@naturelover9716]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REMINDING PEOPLE TO BE UNDERSTANDING AT THE VET!!! I spent my summer interning at a vet clinic and I can't even begin to count the number of furious clients who would call and scream at our poor office staff when we couldn't fit them into the schedule. Vets have been working overtime around the clock to deal with the millions of new pets (and millions more that developed problems over covid that owners just didn't feel the need to address earlier). Also, please remember that vets and clinics only treat CERTAIN species. We get a frankly sad number of exotic animals (birds, lizards, snakes, etc) left on our doorstep in terrible conditions, but there's not much that we can do besides call animal control as none of the vets at the clinic have touched one of those since school.

I really appreciate that you do the whole time lapse in one video and indicate the time taken and show how much work it can be for rescues.

This is a really good way to hopefully convince them to volunteer somewhere first and learn the ropes.

Poor little guy. Glad you were able to treat the mouth rot though! Gummy's a cute little fellow. I remember my beardie had to get shots for a while - It was in a different spot, his leg if I remember right. Not sure if that's because it was a different medication or a different species... Felt real bad about it. Fortunately with Beardies, it helps a lot to cover their heads with a towel or something, they calm down a lot. Also, getting 150 rescue reptiles in good homes is amazing!

When I got my new female crested gecko I noticed she had redness/inflammation on her lower gumline, but no discoloration or anything of the sort. Took her to the vet and the doctor said it didn't look like mouth rot but she still got antibiotic drops that I applied twice every day. It was strange as there was little to no sign of it until I looked in her mouth to check calcium sacs, but I'm so glad she's better now
