In this episode of Critter Fixers: Country Vets, we meet a couple of interesting patients that require the care of Dr. Vernard Hodges and Dr. Terrence Ferguson. The episode is titled "Lizard Wizard", and centers around the care of various reptilian creatures.
The first patient we meet is a bearded dragon named Charlie. Charlie's owner, Alex, has noticed that Charlie has been acting more lethargic than usual, and he's concerned that his pet might not be feeling well. The doctors give Charlie a thorough examination, checking his eyes, ears, and mouth. They also take a blood sample to check for any underlying issues.
Meanwhile, Dr. Hodges is called out to a farm where he meets a farmer named Tom. Tom has a large iguana that he uses to control the population of rodents on his farm. However, the iguana has recently stopped eating, and Tom is worried that it might be sick. Dr. Hodges examines the iguana and finds that it has a respiratory infection. He prescribes antibiotics and advises Tom on how to care for his pet.
Back at the clinic, Dr. Ferguson is taking care of a chameleon named Cammy. Cammy's owner, Jordan, has noticed that her chameleon has been having trouble shedding its skin, and she's concerned that it might be painful for her pet. Dr. Ferguson uses a special solution to help remove the old skin and give Cammy some relief.
Later, Dr. Hodges is called out to a pet store where he meets a store owner named Dave. Dave has a rare and exotic reptile that he's never seen before, and he's not sure how to care for it. Dr. Hodges examines the reptile and identifies it as a blue-tongued skink. He gives Dave some advice on how to care for the skink, including recommendations for its diet and habitat.
Back at the clinic, Dr. Ferguson is taking care of a gecko named Larry. Larry's owner, Emily, has noticed that he's been losing weight and she's worried that he might be sick. Dr. Ferguson takes a blood sample and checks for any underlying issues. He also checks Larry's diet and suggests some changes to help him gain weight.
As the episode comes to a close, all of the patients are doing much better thanks to the care of Dr. Hodges and Dr. Ferguson. The doctors remind us that even though reptiles might seem like tough and resilient creatures, they still require careful and specialized care to keep them healthy and happy.
Overall, this episode of Critter Fixers: Country Vets is a must-see for any reptile lovers out there. It's a fascinating look at the world of exotic pets and the care required to keep them healthy.
