Animal ER

Today is a first for Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists. Nia, a 6-year-old white Bengal tiger, is in critical need of surgery.

Damon, a rescue dog found bleeding and missing a paw, is a candidate for an artificial limb, a potentially life-changing procedure.

At the Houston Zoo, a 17-year-old chimpanzee named Chaos gets two root canals from Dr. Chanda Miles. There’s a limited amount of time that Chaos can be under anesthesia, so Dr. Miles enlists the help of a colleague and barely makes it in under the wire.

The veterinarians at Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists treat a white tiger with a bad problem, a retired K9 police dog with ankle issues, and a two-toed sloth with chronic abscesses. After a fire breaks out, the staff must evacuate the hospital, while making sure patients and their owners are safe.

The staff at GCVS treat an Asian elephant that has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Meanwhile, a giant Schnauzer comes in with a chronic hip fracture, and Dr. Hottinger fears that her whippet named Reed may have cancer.

GCVS treats a blind Lab, an Asian leopard and a chihuahua unable to walk.
