Dr K's Exotic Animal ER

- Season 3

(2016)

Extreme adventurer Hazen Audel relives his most thrilling, most agonizing and most down-right disgusting moments and reveals what it takes to become a Primal Survivor. Finding water, sourcing protein, building shelter and making fire are essential to staying alive in the wild, but in some hostile regions of the world, these survival basics can seem impossible to master.

Dr. Susan Kelleher owns and operates one of the busiest exotic animal care practices located in South Florida, Broward Avian and Exotics Animal Hospital. "Everything but dogs and cats. If it will fit through the door, I'll treat it!" is Dr. K's motto. And through the door they come. Rabbits, reptiles and birds of all shapes and sizes, foxes, ferrets, fish, marsupials, and even primates.

Dr. K treats Tazz, a normally rambunctious squirrel monkey who is lethargic and unresponsive. Shakia, a Sulcata tortoise, is attacked by the family dog and rushed into the clinic for treatment, which proves to be particularly challenging for Dr. G.

A pair of Amazons who were viciously attacked by a dog are rushed into the clinic, presenting Dr. K with a huge challenge.

Dr. Thielen treats a dehydrated baby sugar glider fighting for its life.

A beloved seven-year-old rabbit is brought in with a badly injured leg. After learning she has a fractured foot, Dr. K must perform complicated orthopedic surgery. A marmoset is not acting quite herself. It's a complicated case, so Dr. K calls for a mobile CT scan to be performed. On a field trip to the Everglades Outpost, Dr. T and vet-tech Tom meet a two-year-old wolf with a serious eye problem.
