Kemosabe's Vet Visit

[@MissMegaZord]

Kemo is my favourite! He always sounds like hes talking back.

[@VictoriaFaye09]

+Melanie Lowe Same!

[@Kaneanite]

Dr. Card used anesthesia, its not very effective... Kemosabe uses adrenaline, its super effective!

[@animalwondersmontana]

Adrenaline is a super power!

[@JimPlaysGames]

Kemosabe used weird vocalisation, it's super adorable!

[@CalamityM]

+AnimalWonders Montana Lol. You're adorable. ^-^ Have you ever played Pokemon? Kemosabe looks like a Pokemon. ;)

[@masterimbecile]

Kemosabe goes "Meh!"

[@RaptrRamblings]

@@masterimbecile Opponents’ attack and special attack dropped drastically! Heart rate goes faster and pupils grow larger!

[@ehkesoyo]

That was amazing. Props to Dr. Card for being so smart, gentle and sensitive. And thanks to her for being ok with being filmed! That way we get to admire all your work :D

[@alicattor1469]

I'm always so amazed with vets. Doctors only need to know about the human body, but vets have to learn about all of the animals that we live with - and the more rare ones like kemosabe! And ontop of that only being able to go with what you can see, not being able to actually ask how it feels. The fact that one person is able to accurately treat so many different types of animals is so amazing!

[@Gyarren]

I shouldn't be laughing, because I know Kemosabe must have been scared and confused during his anesthesia and subsequent examination; but his little sounds of indignation were just so funny! He's certainly not shy about letting you know exactly how he feels!

[@barnyardhouse]

Dr. Card is absolutely wonderful!

[@hootypatootie]

Porcupine vocalizations are so cute!

[@theftking]

Kemosabe looked so cute when he was high. You guys obviously take really good care of him.

[@thefyrefairy720]

Jessie, I love all of the animals that you show us, but Kemosabe is a favorite of my entire family. Even my cats "watch" when Kemosabe "talks". If my ferrets are awake, they look for where that sound is coming from too. We all hope Kemo is feeling better now and can eat his crunchy food. Give him some loves from all of us!

[@JenDeyan]

It's wonderful to watch people who are knowledge about what they do and love doing it. Both you and Doctor Card show that love and enthusiasm.

[@syntacticalcrab]

Poor Kemosabe. He always sounds so indignant about vet visits. He's going to need old man dentures :/ Cheeks just looooves lying around being petted. What a chill bunny. HI NEW GUINEA PIG! Joy (? I think that was Joy?) gets a mani-pedi. What a princess :P

[@watchensee]

Hahahahaha you can hear it in his voice when he starts to get drowsy, and you know when he's asleep because he's quiet. So damn cute! :D

[@michaelmacomber6470]

You guys are just so incredible. I look forward to your videos so much. Tank you for devoting your lives to the care of these wonderful animals. So many people could learn from your example. I hope you feel better soon Kemo.

[@wowcomm1]

Jessi you are just wonderful to watch and the expressions in your face tell us all just how much you care for each of your animals you care for. It pains me that I live in Australia and cannot visit any of them but I tune in everytime I can to see how they are all doing.

[@jamesroberts8928]

love your videos. I discovered them today (after seeing you on scishow talkshow countless times) and my love of animals is growing with every video I watch!!!

[@lulu.chains.88]

I hope Kemosabe is feeling much better and back to the food he likes. Love seeing the updates on all your animals!

[@nathalie12890]

Your vet is so great!

[@animalwondersmontana]

Isn't she!? We're pretty lucky!

[@axelevensen3825]

+AnimalWonders Montana do you know what kind of vet she is? Like an exotic vet, small animal vet, etc.

[@animalwondersmontana]

+Kimberly Evensen (Kimmycat7) Dr. Card is a small animal vet that specializes in exotics.

[@genetsandjazz]

+Kimberly Evensen (Kimmycat7) "She has been with the Pruyn Veterinary Hospital since that time. Dr. Card is a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner (CCRP) from the University of Tennessee's College of Veterinary Medicine. Her veterinary interests include avian and exotic medicine, rehabilitation, and chemotherapy cancer treatment."

[@axelevensen3825]

genetsandjazz AnimalWonders Montana​ Thanks!

[@WaltRBuck]

Blue and Gold Macaw.. oh .. how lovely. I love those birds so much.

[@SKRAZZzz]

1:18 poor Kemosabe, he must be experiencing unbearable pain

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

awesome video!

[@Crows_Den]

Cheeks looked almost relaxed! Cute little guy. And poor Kemo has had a rough couple months with all his teeth problems, hasn't he? Hope he gets well soon!

[@BearInABallgown]

Thanks to Dr. Card for looking after our favorite animal ambassadors!

[@georgekartanos3785]

Dr. Card... a true vet!

[@DonnaBrooks]

I'm so impressed by your vet. I know vets make house calls in rural areas b/c of livestock, but I am truly impressed that she knows how to take care of so many different kinds of exotic wildlife!!

[@DonnaBrooks]

I also noticed that she cleaned under Kemosabe's nails as well as trimming them, so she's not only a dentist but she gave him a mani-pedi!

[@JF-gf1mv]

Thank you so much for all you're doing and for looking after these animals so well. These videos always make my day

[@npcKee]

I hope Kemosabe is feeling better now!

[@GeterPoldstein]

This was great -- love seeing some of the hard work that goes into keeping the animals healthy.

[@amperstandheart]

Sometimes these vet videos, while interesting, are ultimately not my favourite because usually the animals are more anxious and stressed which makes me anxious and stressed. However, this was just adorable because we get to see complete adoration and care from both Jessie and Dr. Card. I especially loved how Jessie was petting Cheeks comfortingly when he was stunned in the belly up position and when the parrot, Joy, was done getting her beak and nails trimmed, Jessie was sweet talking Joy and Joy put her face up to be pet through the bars and fluffed herself in happiness. So lovely!!

[@JimPlaysGames]

Hows Kemosabe doing now? Maybe let us know in the next video. Thanks!

[@courtneyy7789]

This was so fascinating! Love your videos and all the animals! It's so great seeing someone who cares so much about all the animals.

[@langsense]

Love Kemosabe! Hope he's recovering nicely. Good work, you guys! xx P.S. Hope the bunny is okay too?

[@turdl38]

cheeks is SO cute!

[@hywodena]

I love kemosabe. So vocal! hopefully his teeth have better luck in the future.

[@kashdiamond]

I hope the kemosabe fairy came!

[@dylanium5755]

Love that little squeaker

[@rayhs1984]

I love Kemosabe, and not only because his awesomeness created your awesome channel.

[@midnightsun2010]

I'd love to see a video about the sugar gliders again, how to take care of them, exercise things that the owner can specifically help with. Is it a good idea to let them glide around in your home? I'm looking into adopting some, and I'd love to learn from such a wonderful source!!! Love this channel!

[@facesbysusanna]

Omg Kemosabe is sooooo adorable!!!! Omg I hate the vets appointments too oooh poor Kemosabe 😢😢😢😢🍌🍌

[@xXRawrMunstahXx]

You're honestly living my dream and such an inspiration of mine! I love your channel :)

[@yknowthatgirl]

So interesting! I'm a vet tech student and I'm starting my wildlife portion (we're one of the few schools that actually has this module in Canada) at Hope for Wildlife this Tuesday.

[@IstasPumaNevada]

Interesting and informative as usual. Thanks for this video!

[@desertrose1226]

Aww Cheeks is SO cute!! I love these gorgeous animals ❤️❤️

[@HolyGoucky]

Amazing video, thank you so much.

[@Garrotegarrote]

This is the best. ..more videos with the vet!

[@siya4ful]

Can you do a tour of the building?

[@avoisin]

Nyah. Nyah! Nyah. Nyah. NYAH! NYAH!

[@facesbysusanna]

Wow Jessi no wonder Kemosabe loves you hun you literally picked him up WOW and he's covered in the death of all those quills wow!!!!! Oooh bless your heart 😳😳😳😳😳

[@dr.sahilkazmi6478]

Ma'am can you please upload video while giving injections to kemo, so that we can akso learn...

[@4evergraciek920]

I wonder how dr card feels getting to interact and help take care of such different animals

[@ellesonross5645]

Hi Jesse how do I give my parakeets the best life they could possibly have +AnimalWonders Montana

[@notmatt2270]

Were Kemo's eyes open the entire time he was sedated? Won't they dry?

[@TheEndKing]

Does that lizard really know to open its mouth for Dr. Card?

[@catzkeet4860]

Lizards often gape as a threat display.

[@dallasdehavilland8228]

I love your vids so much

[@LCdrDerrick]

That poor bugger, it really hurts to see him suffering stress and pain. And he anyway seems to be a nervous and anxious guy, his quills are errected most of the time, else than his other KZbin cousins out there in the zoos.

[@wafflethehamster2806]

For your piggie you can give green bell peppers (packed with vitamin c) as well as other safe veggies. They should get a cup of vitamin c packed veggies a day per piggie. Although I'm sure you know that. (:

[@PinkChucky15]

Hope Kemosabe is doing better now :-)

[@altamertamar1068]

Can you make a tour

[@ellier8102]

how do i get this job? I want this job. I'm jealous.

[@andybearchan]

Thumbs up for Dr. Card

[@xihearthe80sx]

I know how Kemo feels. I recently got all four wisdom teeth pulled and it took the doctors half an hour longer than expected to sedate me. I was so nervous. Hope he feels better soon!

[@Mrs803]

Glad all the animals are doing well. That turtle shirt you had on was so cute! Where is it from?!

[@maerlon101]

I love your turtle shirt! Where could I get one?

[@JamesWhite-ny3tw]

Poor little Cheeks, I have 5 rabbits, so I understand how loving they can be.

[@EoThorne]

Is Kemosabe feeling better? I'm rooting for the little guy. :)

[@stevennguyen8688]

Does Kemosabe express difficulty eating food upon his next meal as he hasn't yet established that his teeth has suddenly shortened?

[@ModJamesRandall]

Saw the eyedrops on Snapchat, how is cheeks keeping up, any change in Cheeks situation? How about the same with Kemo? I assume we will see an update next week?

[@SuperDiepotato]

I love the vet videos!

[@jbskorp]

How is Kemosabe doing?

[@facesbysusanna]

Awwwww poor Kemosabe ughhh poor baby he was drugged 😢😢😢😢😢🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

[@pramitbanerjee]

how do you handle this porcupine so well without getting wounded by the quills?

[@nomadiccoyote]

How often do you usually need to anesthesize animals? And how do you solve the problems of anesthesia getting progressively more dangerous as they get older, since I expect there is actually more need to take care of teeth and beaks and so on? And if the animal doesn't get knocked out do you always reschedule for another appointment, or do you sometimes just increase the dosage? Thanks :)

[@deathrattle3]

i didn't know //tame// birds had to get beak trims lol

[@animalwondersmontana]

Most manage it well enough on their own. Joy doesn't actively wear hers down as much as she needs to, so we help her out.

[@gigglydookie]

Aw Kemo... :( @animal wonders I'm just looking for advice on a new puppy I got 5 days ago. She's taken to barking, growling and snapping at me when I say no. She does stop what she's not supposed to be doing but she gets aggressive. I've found ignoring her works better than saying no again and again but is this right? Any suggestions anyone? Thanks for these videos! I always love when they come up in the feed :)

[@jocarter8199]

hi jessie i really loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove youre video !!!

[@eluna34]

does it hurt kemosabe when his quills are pulled out of him?

[@nassago8964]

CAN U DO A VID ON KENYAN SAND BOAS PLZ ?

[@maplesquidarts]

Can Kemo eat his crunchy food now? Was that bad tooth the problem?

[@TotallyGlar]

Guys, there's a bonus video! :O

[@voyagerabove4034]

Poor Kemo. Didn't he already lose a few teeth a couple months ago?

[@animalwondersmontana]

He did :( A few months ago we found all the top molars on his left side were rotten.

[@CuleChick11]

+AnimalWonders Montana What happens if he runs out of teeth? Do they make dentures for porcupines or he permanently on his cakes?

[@animalwondersmontana]

+Cule Chick I wish they made prosthetic teeth! He'd be on a soft mushy cake diet if he lost the ability to chew.

[@jaimie00]

+AnimalWonders Montana Have you ever talked to a veterinary dentist? I know he doesn't need it now, but if he did, or one of your other animals did, in the future, it would be worth exploring. I know it's pretty pricey, but I think the community would help with the costs. Just an idea.

[@JenDeyan]

+Jaimes I second that idea. If Kemosabe or one of the other animals needed some prosthetic teeth and money was the only thing stopping the procedure, I would donate. I'd imagine it would be something Animal Wonders budget couldn't normally handle. Please keep that in mind as an option.

[@nethi16]

But actually where did you get that turtle shirt??

[@AllisonTaitano]

Would you be willing to make a video of how you towel your birds for grooming? I have a two year old green wing who I take to the vet to get her talons trimmed once a month. She is fully flighted and is TERRIFIED of towels. If its even possible to train her to be more accepting of the towel because she gets so stressed out and over heated quickly. She flies around until they can get her in a corner and I'm afraid some day she may get injured from trying to get away.

[@MelissaFlaquer]

Aww poor thing. I want to know too. Also, why does she need to trim his beak? does it grow indefinitely like a rodent's incisives?

[@AllisonTaitano]

+Melissa Flaquer No I take her to get her talons trimmed. (nails) :)

[@AllisonTaitano]

+Melissa Flaquer Her beak is fine. It naturally files itself down by chewing on toys so I don't have to worry about that part.

[@MelissaFlaquer]

+Allison Taitano I mean the bird that Jesse has in the video. I thought that you might know because you also have a bird

[@AllisonTaitano]

+Melissa Flaquer The only reasons why a beak would over grow that I know of are liver damage or the bird doesn't chew on toys that would naturally file it down like wood. Also a lot of parrots that have "scissor beak" tend to over grow because it doesn't get filed down correctly when chewing since the upper and lower beak don't align properly.

[@peeperscreepers6263]

Is there a specific reason why Kemosabe has teeth problems? I know he had to have his top incisor removed which affects his gnawing, but are teeth problems common in Kemosabe's species in the wild? Sorry if this has already been asked or addressed.

[@Birbiee]

What happens to the tooth? Will it regrow?

[@animalwondersmontana]

His incisors are ever-growing, so if he doesn't file them short on his own we have to do it for him. It usually takes about 3 months before one of them gets too long and he needs help again.

[@Birbiee]

+AnimalWonders Montana Thank you for answering! I should have been more specific, what I meant was his cheek tooth that Dr. Card removed. Will it grow back?

[@animalwondersmontana]

+Xenovia Ikaros Any rodent tooth that has no viable root will cease to grow. So you can file down incisors and as long as they have a healthy root they will continue to grow. The molars erupt really slowly so as long as they have a healthy root, they will continue to erupt over a long period of time seeming to grow. But once the root goes bad, the tooth is a goner.

[@Birbiee]

Ohh I see. Thank you for answering again! And I hope the X-ray will only show healthy teeth for Kemosabe :)

[@abby4861]

What does your vet specialize in specifically? She is obviously a exotic vet but does she only check certain types of species?

[@genetsandjazz]

+AbbysAnimalCare "She has been with the Pruyn Veterinary Hospital since that time. Dr. Card is a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner (CCRP) from the University of Tennessee's College of Veterinary Medicine. Her veterinary interests include avian and exotic medicine, rehabilitation, and chemotherapy cancer treatment." I.e she is a dog/cat vet with an interest in exotics. She sees what she wants.

[@Mekiozuke]

I was just wondering how kemo was doing. does he get upset with you when he wakes back up ?

[@meglawson6511]

awww so cute does he change colur as he ages and youre favourite youtube channel

[@meglawson6511]

colour

[@schpookendike]

wait what happened with Kemo? is he all better?

[@Gurlygurlytalk101]

Why are the rabbit and Guinea pig cages way to small

[@animalwondersmontana]

Olive, the gp, was just temporarily in the small cage while we were treating her during her quarantine period. She now lives in a 30 square foot enclosure with Chili Pepper and Pickles the other cavies. Cheeks, the rabbit, prefers his small elevated space over having a larger run, even though we've tried several times to influence his personal preference. Thanks for asking!

[@LaineyBug2020]

I have nightmares that my teeth start to fall out like Kemo...

[@Flore-162]

i am sorry doc but : no gloves with little Kemosabe ?

[@Sheywh12]

Do you work at a zoo or something?? Or all these animals your personal animals?? Love your videos and your help you've taught me with my Guinea Pigs and my dogs...Shey

[@mahrimartin2310]

I love your videos so so much! ♥

[@fossilfighters101]

Kat Head Who are you and where did you acquire these powers.

[@Noob___Noob]

2:26 lol

[@quantumdino]

Kemosabe's on a mission

[@InezAllen]

why does Kemosabe have such bad teeth?

[@livinthepetlife3309]

One of his teeth are missing, so he can't wear them down by gnawing.

[@animalwondersmontana]

Most likely genetics played a big factor. Also, possibly diet at a young age. But really, rodents are just prone to having issues with their teeth, and since he's in captivity we are able to help him stay healthy and live a much longer life than he would have been able to do on his own :)

[@qoaa]

too much soda and candy in his youth :-P

[@gabrielmartin6865]

Omg! You have columbian tegu! it is good pet or aggressive?

[@gabrielmartin6865]

And I want you create the video the tegu for I Will need know keep the Gold tegu :)
