Gorilla Glue Turns Into a ROCK Inside Dog's Stomach! | Bondi Vet

On the Gold Coast, Gerardo's patient Teddy is fighting for life after eating something quite bizarre. And Gerardo needs to call in reinforcements for emergency surgery. Hey, Trooper. Hey, what's up? Hey, I need you to come here as quick as you can. We have a dog here that ate Gorilla Glue. What is Gorilla Glue? It is a super strong adhesive. And it's formed a big ball in its stomach and it's huge. I will be there shortly, see you soon. Check out the x-ray. This is scarily impressive. Look at that. This is what we're looking at here. The x-ray shows a dilated stomach that's full of the glue. It's quite shocking. It looks like it's formed a ball in there so you'd really hope that if we could go in there it may just come out as a ball but my worry would be that if it's actually stuck to the stomach lining that we might have to reset part of the stomach itself. I've never seen this before but I'm not surprised. I've seen dogs eat a lot of crazy things. That's a 10 by 12 centimetre ball. That's not going to be easy to cut out of the stomach. There's a number of things I'm concerned about today. There's the obvious gut obstruction, but there's also a chance that this glue may have perforated the stomach. If Teddy's stomach is perforated, then he would be in a world of trouble. We'd be dealing with a very complex surgery and also an overwhelming infection. Here he is. Oh wow, he's already ready to go. Yeah, the team have got him ready to go. He's clipping his belly at the moment. Just a moment. Okay. The patient today is Teddy. Teddy is a beautiful Groodle. He is cute like a teddy bear, isn't he? No kidding. Silly boy. Probably thought it was like a tube of like caramel or something like that. I imagine it tasted very good. Teddy's already on the table, sedated and being prepped for anaesthetic. Let's get into surgery, okay? Okay, team. In these moments, it's also really important to reassure Teddy. He doesn't know what's going on and he must be scared. What a day, hey? What a day. Here we are. Mobile vets Audrey and Alison have been called out to a local kitten shelter to check on a worrying new little arrival. Amy runs the kitten sanctuary, dedicated to saving fragile tiny lives that are otherwise unwanted and abandoned. We've been operating for about over three years officially now, specialising in taking in orphaned neonatal kittens which are at the highest rate of euthanasia across pounds and shelters in Australia, so we are one of the very few rescues that do take in kittens this young and hand raise them. These playful youngsters look right at home, but Amy has grave concerns about a new kitten called Misty. Somebody found her on the side of the road. You want me to put her in? The five-week-old kitten developed a badly infected toe after fellow orphan Stormy kept trying to suck on it. Looks very festy, doesn't it? I think we better have a look at that. Cat? Misty is so tiny she's being kept in a special warm incubator. All right, well let's take her out, have a look at that foot. Of course. Amy's desperately hoping the twins will be able to save the tiny kitten's toe. I might check the rest of her over and then we'll end up at that toe. Just make sure you're growing okay, and let's have a look at that toe right. So she's been on broad-spectrum antibiotics for about a week. Since then her appetite's gone up, weight's gone up, she's been more playful, but the infection just isn't improving on the toe. And if anything that's actually looking more swollen and more infected, so I'm worried that that infection's getting worse or possibly spreading. Let's notice she's got a little swelling on this back left leg here. Oh, yes she does. Oh, no. Oh, baby. She has been licking and chewing at all her joints after licking, obviously, this infected toe so she could possibly have passed the infection. The danger of an infection in a young kitten, especially one that you can't get on top of, is that that infection will spread. It will either spread along the foot or it will go into the bloodstream and once it's in the bloodstream, it pretty much can be fatal. He's so swollen. Oh. Here we go. Go in here. Ready. In the UK, Scott's arriving at his Isleworth practice with a special little boy. Hi, ladies. Let me introduce you to Biggie, obviously. Isn't it? Biggie is a one-year-old Chihuahua who's a regular visitor to Scott's house. He's my builder's dog. See, it's quite funny as well because it's covered in tattoos. He likes motorbikes. You know, he's that kind of guy. And then he's got a tiny little dog. But unfortunately, he's got a bit of an embarrassing problem. He's only got one testicle. So often we see in the veterinary practice these little dogs that have been significantly inbred or you've had two runts of the litter come together to make even more puppies and they weren't healthy in the first place and in the case of Biggie we just need to go and find a testicle which naturally should be outside his body. So I think in this case we're going to have to do a fishing expedition so sort of like be putting a hole in the abdomen and then trying to hook out the testicle. Testicles left inside the body where the temperature is higher can lead to mutation and cancer. For Biggie to be cancer-free, both testicles will have to be removed. Maybe not so exciting for Biggie, but a new learning opportunity for vet student Sophie. I don't know how to say this in English. You've not seen one before? Oh, okay. You know ice hole fishing? Yeah, it's like that. It is. So basically, you just make a little hole and then you just go fishing. Instead of pulling out a salmon, you pull out a testicle. Nice. Alright. Should we put an IV in you? I don't think you need to be a vet to realise that little dogs are more fragile. And all small patients, we take a view, they're almost like babies. Sleepy time now little man. Suddenly, seconds after being given anaesthetic, Biggie's in trouble. The little dog's heart rate is dangerously slow. Look at that paw now, OK? I'm worried that that infection's getting worse. Audrey and Alison have been called to treat orphan kitten Misty, who has a badly infected toe. She has been licking and chewing at all her joints after licking, obviously, this infected toe, so she could possibly have passed the infection. The girls are worried that by constantly licking the toe, Misty may have passed infection along her foot and into her bloodstream. So next steps, little one. We're going to have to find out how bad this infection is, so we'll take an X-ray of the foot and then from there we'll work out what the next plan is. The girls are going to do X-rays at a nearby partner practice, which has specialist equipment for such a tiny animal. So because Misty is so teeny tiny, we're not going to use a normal x-ray machine for her. We're actually going to use a dental machine because that really takes fine structures like teeth into the image and so something like Misty's little fingers and toes that will show up really nicely for us. It's not looking good. We can see sort of the bottom half of the toe is there and then all the bones kind of disintegrate. So it looks like the infection's kind of dissolved away the bone which isn't great. I'm very, very worried if we leave it there, she could potentially lose her whole foot or her whole leg, so we need to jump in quickly and remove the infected bones. Are you getting hungry? But suddenly, the tiny kitten is in grave danger. One, two, three. One, two, three. She's not really stable. Her breathing is all over the place. We're having to give her artificial respiration because her oxygen is not quite 100%. How is he light and then deep? One, two, three. It's always really difficult in little cats because everything's super tiny, so trying to get a tube in is difficult, trying to get her oxygen levels is difficult. Oh, they're so tiny. Hello. How are you? I'm Dr Kate. At the Bondi Vet Hospital, worried owner Lana has brought in 15-year-old Max because he's stopped eating. You're an old boy, aren't you, buddy? So he hasn't eaten for two days. Yeah, two and a half. It's okay, Max. You're right, buddy. Not very well. Come on, Maxie. Let's go in. Let's take Maxie in. I got him when he was six weeks old. He's part of my family. He's lost a lot of weight since we saw him last. Do you think he's lost a lot of weight? I think it's age. He always ate normal. Only last couple of days he had this problem. When I saw Max on the schedule today and I saw that he hadn't been eating for quite a while. That makes my heart sink, especially in a 16, 17 year old dog, not eating for a couple of days, lost seven kilos in a year. It's a concern. Maxi, he's blind. I think he's blind. Yeah, no, he's blind. I think it's a continuation of what happened two years ago. His body is not so good. See his breathing like this? See how he's struggling to get air in? You can see his abdomen there that's moving. You're right. So you hear that cough? So he's got fluid in his chest. It's like kind of having like a wet sponge and they can't actually fill with oxygen. So what's happening, he would be feeling right now like he would have asthma. Main thing, do a blood test, full blood test. If something wrong, blood test will show you something wrong. I think what Lana would like me to say is that we can do all these tests and we can do all of these treatments and that Max is going to get better. And sometimes that is the case. Sometimes that is the case. So there is some point to do a blood test. We can get some clues and we can get some leads about where we actually go to from here. But Max is a very, very elderly dog. 16 to 17 years old is a very old dog. Can I get Max better? I don't know. He's a good boy, isn't he? On the Gold Coast, Teddy the Groodle is in grave danger after eating an entire tube of toxic glue. Blade, anaesthetic. OK. Ready to go to sleep, little man? Good boy. Alex and Gerardo are extremely worried the dangerous glue is rapidly expanding in Teddy's stomach. Let's go. Oxygen is on two. All right, Teddy, a little sleep, OK? Good boy. Teddy needs urgent emergency surgery to see if the large mass of glue can be safely removed. Hopefully, when we wake up, we'll fix the problem. Good boy. Oh, OK. Oh, it's all right. It's all right. Good boy. Now that Teddy's asleep, the time's really ticking. We need to get him into theatre and get this out of the stomach as quickly as we can and wake him up. He's a sick dog. There's a higher anaesthetic risk, and we don't know what damage this glue has already done to his stomach. OK, Rosie, you want to take those two, and then Alex. Thank you. OK. Whoa, whoa, actually, feel there. Just push here. That's the stomach. That's it. It's like a rock. Just be careful you don't cut into that when you go through. It's right under the skin. My hope now is that we can enter the abdomen fairly easily. It could be tricky because Teddy has had abdominal surgery before. I'm going to go slow because it could be... The stomach's just underneath. Teddy's previous surgery could have left him with internal scars that could complicate the operation. OK. OK, cool. What are we going to find in there? Well the good thing is that the stomach's not stuck to the abdominal wall, that's... One good thing. One good thing. There we go. Whoa. I could, I just touched the stomach then and it's rock hard. God, how much must that have hurt? It expands apparently. As emergency clinicians everybody knows their role in these high pressure situations. His heart rate's pretty steady, yeah it's actually good. You really have to bring your A-game. There we go. There we go. Feel that. Oh my god. That is like a rock. I can see it under the surface of the stomach. You can see it through there? Wow. Literally through there. Yeah, we need to open up the abdomen, spleen. Let's have a look at what we've got here. He's like rock hard. You ever seen anything like this? No, no, this would have to be the biggest foreign body I've ever removed. So getting exposure to the stomach is quite difficult because it sits right underneath Teddy's ribs. So what we're going to try to do now is place some what we call stay sutures, which we'll then use to elevate the stomach. So we want to almost get the stomach out of the abdomen. And then we're going to cut into it. And I'm hoping we can remove it. Yeah, there's a lot of weight there, isn't there? That is a heavy foreign body. The last thing we want to do is actually tear through the tissue, trying to get enough elevation. OK, let's see if we can pull it out. We got momentum adhered to the stomach This is a stomach from the previous surgery. The stakes are really high here. We're dealing with a member of someone's family and we want to be able to call them at the end of this surgery and tell them that it's been a success. Gosh, imagine if it's actually stuck to the wall. One of the things we're worried about here is when we cut into the stomach because we can't lift the stomach up very much we're actually going to get spillage of gastric contents into his abdomen. He's already on antibiotics but if that happens we've then got infection that spread around the rest of his abdomen. We really don't want that to happen and we really didn't need more complications than we already have. You're right, so you hear that cough so he's got fluid in his chest. In Bondi, Kate is starting to have grave concerns about elderly dog Max. She's doing urgent blood tests to find out why he's not eating and is struggling to breathe. So what I'm going to do is run some in-house bloods. They're going to be back within the next hour or so. Just help him, please. Devoted owner Lana can't imagine life without her special boy. I want him to live much longer because he's a pleasure. Next, Kate is doing an X-ray to see what's going on with Max's breathing. With Max's lungs is that there's not much black in here. So all we can see is that there's a whole bunch of fluid that exists in this chest cavity. This all here is lung field and this is supposed to be black and it's not. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is actually probably coming from his right side of his heart. In other words, his right side of his heart's possibly collapsed and failing. If I can help, I help because I'm against just do a job and next dog, sorry, that's part of my family. Lana is now desperately hoping Max's blood results are good. So what we can see here is we're starting to get into multi-organ dysfunction. We've got high kidney enzymes, in fact one of his kidney enzymes is so high that it's actually unable to read on this machine. I'm really devastated about these blood results. I can't give Max new kidneys. I can't give Max a new liver. A lot of these problems, I can't make his bone marrow produce more red blood cells. So this may be the end for Max. One, two, three. In Sydney, Misty's toe surgery is barely underway and the little kitten is in serious trouble. Good girl. I see a hundred. That is very, very good. Finally, the twins get Misty's breathing under control and they can now go ahead with the surgery on her infected toe. What I'm doing is trying to leave as much of healthy skin as I can attached to the foot so that when I remove the infected bones, there's enough skin to close. What I might do is just leave wide at the bottom, coming away. Weird. Tiniest toes you've ever seen. We're done. With the toe surgery over, the girls have given this tiny battler a fighting chance. We're going to do about five of those. Right, we can turn her anaesthetic depth down. So all taken off, sutures are all in. Hello, good morning. I'm going to put you in here where it's nice and warm. Hi Amy, all good. She's in recovery now. Come on through. Misty's recovering really well we've just got her back in her incubator where it's nice and warm. It was a very big surgery because we removed that necrotic bone or that bone that was infected that came away really nicely for us and we were able to close up. I'm so relieved everything went well with the surgery. I knew Misty was in the best hands with Audrey and Alison. You can show mama your box of gloves. She's recovering so well, so she's going to be a little bit groggy for the rest of today But as soon as she's up and swallowing properly, I think give her a bottle Okay, and I want you to continue on with the antibiotics. Oh, you're looking for your bottle We better get you home so you can have some milk, all right? Brian On the Gold Coast, Alex and Gerardo are desperately trying to save Teddy after the greedy Groodle ate an entire tube of glue. Just getting out of the way. It's now expanded and hardened in his stomach. Scarring from previous surgery is making this operation extremely difficult. Okay, stab incision into stomach. Thinks a bit about what else he's had to eat, you know. I have to use my hands. Normally we don't put our hands in stomachs. Compared to humans, dogs eat all sorts of random things, and we know that Teddy has eaten other things, so we just don't know what we're going to find in his stomach. I think we just had no choice this time. It feels like a rock that's covered in goop and grit. Gerardo and I have made the incision into the stomach, and you start to be able to smell the contents. Oh yeah, it's coming now. Oh my goodness. Looks like a cauliflower. Make sure we hold up the... Yep, I got it, I got it. You got it? Yep. Wow. It's got bits of corn on it. What is that? It's a potato chip. It looks disgusting. It's this solid rock, but it's covered with bits of corn and chips and other things that Teddy's eaten. And the smell was overpowering. I could almost taste it. He must have eaten the whole tube of glue. That's nuts. The inside lining of the stomach looks pretty healthy. Yeah, no, actually, we're pretty lucky. I think all the mucus kind of kept it off. Thank you. I could not have done this without you. Actually, you probably could have done, but that's all right. I was glad I was assisting. You can feel the tension ease in the room. It's been a textbook surgery so far. You all right if I tap out, then? Yep, you can. Thank you. I'll go get Teddy's bed ready for recovery. Yeah, we shouldn't be too long. Yep. OK. Almost halfway done. Awesome job, hey? No, thank you. I'd shake your hands, but your hands are dead. All right, that was fascinating to see. He is one really lucky dog. He's going to be quite painful when he wakes up, but all in all, I think we can call that surgery a huge success. Let's go. In Sydney, Audrey and vet nurse Brianna have had a call-out to check up on one of their regular patients, Harley. The Cavalier has developed worrying stomach issues. Right, we'll have to see Harley again. Yes. He's got itchy skin, diarrhoea, itchy bottom, bad eyes, so we've got to check him out. Here we are. Thank you, good boy. Harley's owner Monique is understandably worried about her beloved five-year-old. We love Harley, he's such a big part of our family. He's always happy, that tail just never stops wagging, he's just adorable. He's the happiest dog I've ever seen. It's very hard when we watch Harley with a sore stomach. He knows he's not well and he puts himself to bed, and that's just not Harley. Hi, buddy. Hi, Harley. Hi, Audrey. Hi, Brie. What's been going on? Look, he's doing well, but he's having a few problems with his stomach, quite a bit of diarrhoea, and scooting on his bum, which isn't very nice. Oh, dear. So he's had these gut issues on and off, and I know that he gets the diarrhoea and the gurgly tummy. Yes. Is he eating at all? He's eating quite well, but it's not staying in. Oh, buddy. It's coming out the other end. And I have also noticed his skin's a bit dry and flaky. Yeah, isn't it? Yeah. All right, well, we'd better get you in the van, and check you out, buddy, hey? You want to come for a little adventure in the van? Okay, we'll see you later mum. Bye! We really don't want Harley having gut issues long term. Having diarrhea, having vomiting, that's going to cause gland issues, but also it's going to cause malabsorption. He'll fail to thrive, he may not gain weight, he could get super skinny, so we really need to address it. You ready? I know, you're a bit nervous. It's okay. Let's have a listen to you, your tummy, your gurgles. Oh, that's sounding a bit squelchy in there. Lots of movement. Oh, buddy, what is happening? Not happy in there at all. You're understanding. Sleepy time now, little man. Come on, Biggie. At his Isleworth clinic, Scott is alarmed that Chihuahua Biggie has suddenly stopped breathing. Scott needs to perform a testicle removal, but the little dog isn't responding well to the anaesthetic. His heart's slowing. This is incredibly frightening. I'm listening so intently, but I can hear that the heartbeat is just getting fainter and fainter. Gem, can you just get a little bit of adrenaline? Just keep breathing for him. Quick, Gem. That's fine. Keep breathing. One every two. Keep breathing for him. Those waves are looking a bit more regular now. How's his job? Honestly, it makes you go grey. I think I've just aged 10 years. Yeah. And what's even worse is the stress of when it's someone's dog that you know. It somehow makes it worse. He was having a little look at the rainbow bridge then. I think he saw a squirrel on the other side. So that's the danger of anaesthetics you know we deal every day with life and death and our job is beyond serious you know and you can laugh about you know a little dog called Biggie with one testicle but you know it's a much loved member of the family and you know when things like this happen it just reminds you just how important life is is. and how important our job is. Just keep breathing just keep breathing that's for you guys and the dog. With Biggie finally breathing normally, Scott can start trying to locate the missing testicle. So, this is going to be speedy ice fishing. This is not ice fishing for pleasure. This is for a specific purpose of catching the infamous testicle fish. It's very likely that it'll be a lot smaller than the other one. Lots of reasons why it's difficult to find. But I've just found it. So, look at that. There you go, so you can see immediately that's one testicle and that's another, so. Dogs are in danger of cancer if testicles remain inside the body, so Biggie will now have to have both testicles removed. There you have it, one naughty testicle. And then there's Biggie, smallie. Biggie can now look forward to a long and healthy future now that we know that that testicle that was hiding away in his abdomen is out there's no chance that he can develop cancer as a result and hopefully I'll never ever ever have to anesthetize Biggie ever again. So relieved to have the ability to wake this dog up you know you just be able to hear him breathing and hear the beeping and know that he's okay. It's a massive relief. Right, buddy. What a relief. I just think when Biggie's heart nearly stopped in there, honestly, mine did too. To think that that little life that was in my hands was slipping away. Honestly, Biggie, what are you trying to do to me? That's it. Biggie will have a sleep before being reunited with owner, Stu. Oh, you look so cute. Can't give Max new kidneys. I can't give Max a new liver. In Bondi, Kate is devastated that Max's blood results are so grim. A lot of these problems, I can't make his bone marrow produce more red blood cells. Lana has had her beloved Max since he was a pup, and every moment separated from him is heartbreaking. Are you right, Maxie? He's just having a little sleep. Kate now has to gently explain to Lana how much Max's health is deteriorating. Max is a very very sick dog. He's a hundred percent suffering and I'm not entirely sure right now that Lana knows how sick Max is. I'm really sorry. He's not going to come back from this. Honestly I don't even know that he's gonna make it the night. Like he's just deteriorated today to a point like all he wants to do is sleep. One of the very difficult things about being a vet is to bring up The idea of potentially putting the dog to sleep, it's a very difficult conversation to have to have. . And honestly, I feel as though that the duty that I have is to relieve suffering. And I try and see this in the most positive light as I possibly can see this, is to relieve suffering. And I hope I can do that job well. Later that day, Max's brave battle ended peacefully with Lana by his side. In Sydney, Audrey and vet nurse Brianna are trying to find out why Harley has suddenly developed stomach issues and diarrhoea. Let me just have a look at your gum colour. The good thing with him is he's still eating and drinking, so we caught it early, but it's just not sounding good in there. Yeah. I have a feel. It's becoming a bit of a problem. Alright, Harley. So we're not happy in there, we know you're having the runs, next step I think we have to check your bottom out. It's not your favourite part, but from history, every time he gets a diarrhoea, his anal glands block up. I know, it's okay. Sorry baby. Oh, they are full. So on top of having a really bad tummy, he also has anal gland issues. And these are basically two little glands that sit on the outside and they become blocked if they're having diarrhoea or soft stools. I know, almost done, almost done. You know this one takes a long time. When the anal glands become blocked, it becomes very uncomfortable. They're quite sore, they might scoot. It's really, really itchy. OK, well, the skin, the diarrhoea, the bottom. I think we need to look at a long-term solution with diet. All right, buddy. See if we can make your tummy all better. All right, let's get you back to Mum. I have a solution for Harley today. It's diet-based. He's got a bag of problems from allergy to dietary intolerance. I know, you're very eager to go back to Mum. So I really want to address the food he's taking in. All right, Mum, he was a very good boy. Oh, that's good. How were his glands? So, his glands, as expected, were a little bit full, and that's because he's been having softer stools, so they block up really easily. I am quite concerned with his gut. It does sound very squelchy. He's a little bit sore when we go to feel him, but lucky for us, it's pretty early. He's still eating, he's still drinking, but long-term, I think we need to look at his diet and try and prevent this from happening. So, brought along one of my favourite products. We'll try him out on... the diet for a couple of weeks and then I'll touch base with you and see how he's going. But hopefully he's going to resolve his gastrointestinal issues. I have a sneaky suspicion he's gonna like it because he's checking it out already. What's that? You want to try? He wants that. Smells good. Chicken chicken. Oh I think he likes it. He likes it. Good? You like that? I can tell. Because we're putting Harley on a single protein trial, this is going to be the only food he's going to eat. It's complete and it's balanced. Well, that's really good, Monique. I think I'm really happy that he likes it. I'm going to leave you two with that for the next couple of weeks, and then we'll check in again on his tummy and his skin and see how he goes. Sounds good. All right. Sound like a plan? Sound like a good plan. That's fine. All right, we'll see you soon. Be good for Mama. I'm very excited to try the new food on Harley and to finally resolve his stomach issues and to get him back to being the happy dog he should be. Will we give it a try? I think so. Yes? Okay, good boy. Teddy. Back on the Gold Coast. Teddy, good man. Teddy is finally awake after life-saving surgery to remove a massive lump of hardened glue from his stomach. Standing already, such a brave man. Teddy has recovered from surgery. Oh, stay still. His belly is a bit sore, but that's to be expected. The team are going to keep a close eye on him and make sure that he is comfortable. Overall, this is a great outcome. You're wobbly, eh? You've still got a bit more time recovering, eh? Eh? You're a very brave soul. See, you got it all out. The team's going to take care of you, so you're going to be a good boy. Little Harley boy. It's been two weeks since Audrey and Brianna last visited Harley. who had some worrying stomach problems. Okay. Heard it's his birthday today. It's his birthday today. Alright. They're hoping a change of diet has helped improve the young cavalier's condition. What do we do? Hello, Harley. Hi. Hi. How's he been? He's going really well. His stomach issues are so much better, so the diarrhoea has absolutely disappeared. He doesn't have a gurgly tummy anymore. And his skin's even looking better too. He's back to his original self. Amazing, that's what we want. I mean it's only two weeks into the diet and he's still got another six to eight weeks. But I think he loves the food, it's going great, it's all uphill from now. And I did hear it was his birthday. Yes, he's six today. Carly, you're six today. And because you can't have any other food, so we couldn't bring you a birthday cake, we bought you a toy cake. Is it your birthday? Oh, he likes that. Happy birthday from Aunty Bree and Aunty Audrey. You're a good boy. I'm really happy with Harley today. He's happy, he's healthy, he's going to the toilet normally, and his skin is also looking good. So I'll check in again in about six or seven weeks and he's on the right track. It's wonderful, there's nothing worse than seeing your dog upset and sad and in pain and the food has worked so well, he's back to his happy self and we couldn't be happier. That's my boy, yeah, so beautiful. Da da da da, there he is. Let's go see Daddy. Come on, let's hike. In Isleworth, Builder Stew has arrived to pick up Biggie the Chihuahua and to hear about the little dog's traumatic testicle removal surgery. So I've come to pick up my little boy after having been castrated and yeah, hopefully it's all gone alright. Hello mate. Oh hi, oh hello little man. Oh look at your silly little cone. There he is. Is he alright? Yes, he is now. The surgery went absolutely fine, but yeah, he did give us a massive scare. Oh really? Yeah. When we first anaesthetised him, he stopped breathing, which a lot of the time... Jesus. Yeah. A lot of the time they do stop breathing initially, and then they come right. But he just stayed not breathing, and then his heart started to slow. So we had to... Give him adrenaline and fluids and... He didn't cry. Yeah. My nurse, who is a trainee vet, I think she's thinking twice about her career. Maybe she'll come into building trade. Yeah. To be fair, I could do with a hand on a sleeper wall. Oh. Yeah, sure. Okay, yeah. Genuinely, it's great to be able to have a bit of a laugh with Stu and to put a smile back on his face because I can see just how shocked he was. The fact that Biggie was so close to death but look these two are such great mates and it's just so great to be able to hand this dog back in one piece but without his crown jewels of course. Thanks a lot and I'll catch you soon. Bye bud. Bye lads. Bye. Steady. Two weeks later Biggie the Chihuahua is back on the worksite with owner Stu after Scott successfully removed both his testicles. You're going to fight to survive, aren't you? As for little kitten Misty, she's making a good recovery after her toe surgery. So all the stitches are intact. That's healing really nicely. There's no swelling or discharge. The other toes look great. And hopefully she'll soon be well enough to go to a loving new home. So I'm super happy with how it's healing. I think we got it just in the nick of time. I love you too. I love you.
