This series saved my dog's life. I thought she was having a false pregnancy, but then I notices a few drops of pinkish discharge. My dog keeps herself meticulously clean, so it's a miracle I even noticed it. Because I've seen episodes like this before, I took my dog to the vet just in case. The vet did an ultrasound, and said that my dog had pyometra, and needed to be booked in immediately. Thankfully the surgery went well, but apparently it was even worse than we thought. The vet said that if I'd waited one more day, I would have lost her. So thank you Bondi Vets! You really do make a difference.
I'm so glad your dog is okay. But you should be ashamed to have a username "proud Zionist". And if there's anyone thinking I shouldn't mention it and should just be happy for you - would you ignore someone with the name "proud apartheid South African" or "proud wh*te supremacist"?
@@cosmicmuffin322 your name suggestions don’t really compare at all so your point is moot, you should go read some history books about the countries you mention, or maybe even a bible. Also unless you know Proud Zionist personally how can you be sure of who and what they are referring to. There is a Zion in nearly evert state of America. Maybe they are proud of being fromZion Wisconsin?
I used to work at a shelter and as well as preventing unwanted pregnancies, pyometra is one of the reasons why all our females are spayed before being adopted out. Our males are also neutered
The amount of respect I have that Max being put down wasn't recorded is immense, a lot of producers would jump at the chance to have that on camera. A moment like that is super personal and emotional, and it's hard to recognize it as such when you have a camera on you the whole time. These people really care about their patients and their parents
@@Silver_Turtle Well, they talked to the owner about putting him down, and the way they said it seemed like they did, and I can't imagine that with his conditions he could've passed very peacefully on his own :(
@@Silver_Turtle he would have been PTS to help him go over in a more humane way with out suffering. it's the worst part of being in animal care and being an animal care giver, is the knowing our life spans are so so much longer then there's so we have to make the heart braking call to send them over.
We went through the same thing as Max. My girl stopped eating on a Tuesday, got her to the vet by Thursday and the X-ray showed her entire chest was filled with cancer. She had no previous symptoms. She was not going to make the week so we were having the vet come to the house to put her to sleep but she crossed the bridge with my husband holding her before the vet came. You’re devastated because she was our baby but we had 13 beautiful years with her. My heart goes out to Lana. And to Kate-they have such a difficult job sometimes.
I have a hard time crying because of medication I’m on. But when Max had to die, I had tears. I have a rescue dog now so really know that bond. The worst part of having a loving pet is when they die.
Absolutely, I lost my feline fur baby Sept 28. My big boy Sammy is so so missed my home isn't the same without my baby . 11 yrs. I was blessed to enjoy him and the fun we had together.💖💖💖
@@maryjanerod7226 So sorry that you lost your much loved pet, Sammy. I know how sad it is to have to say goodbye, and how you must feel. Time is the great healer, and with time it will be easier. I know that another dog cannot replace his place, but it certainly helps to find another little soul who needs your love, when you are ready. RIP Sammy. 💕🙏🙏🙏and God bless you❤️
I had a 13 year old dog and I watched her slowly fade away during her last two years. She had diabetes and, just like Max, at one point her heart collapsed and she had trouble breathing. We tried every med, oxygen, everything, especially since my parents wanted to try it all. As for me, not putting her down before mother nature took her is one of my biggest regrets.
Poor Max, I think we all would wish our pets healthy if it were possible but it's not and it's difficult to let them go but we have to do whats right for them especially if they're suffering. RIP Max.😥❤
I was carer for an elderly Swedish lady, her dog Lisa became mine, I wanted to have her put down 2 months before but Anna Maja wanted to keep her, then after 2 months Anna Maja said, she needs to go she is tired, sadly, I was the one lifting her to pee, chit and all, so for good owners, you have to be cruel to be kind. God Bless.
Oh this one was hard to watch. I'm crying like a baby. My elderly Molly is doing well as we can keep her. But the subject of relieving suffering by putting the poodle to sleep really got me. I dread that day with all my being.
Im really happy all the animals in the video are ok. I am really proud of the owner of Max. She put his suffering ahead of her broken heart. I know how she feels i had to put my dog down however, 17 years wow. You took really awesome care of Max and had him for 17 years. That my friend was truly a Blessing from God. RIP Max and run into rainbow heaven.
Poor max, I was so simplistic to Lana as we had to put our dogs down due to cancer of the stomach that spread. I was in tears. Best wishes to Max and my condolences to Ms. Lana much love 💕
it really frustrates me when RU-vid doesn't allow images of surgery. the surgery is interesting and educational and many people would love to watch the surgery. those who don't want to see it can close their eyes or change the channel.
@@freyatries3895 of course they do. And they can watch it and skip the surgery scenes or simply close their eyes. Those of us who like to see these scenes also deserve to watch it
I want to see the whole thing! Say someone is possibly interested in becoming a veterinarian, it’s important to be able to see if they can handle the gory parts. Doing dissection on deceased animals is just not the same!
@@margauxnodvin7478 I'm sure there is probably content online regarding this? This isn't going to be extremely descriptive in the surgery aspects anyways. It's just for daytime viewing
I like the way they show death on the show in general. No showing of the dead or dying animal or the owners in tears afterwards. But they still show their stories, which is an important part of being a vet. The death is announced, that they didn't make it. No drama or overly sad - just a feeling of compassion in the voice of a factual statement. I think, that that is very respectful way to deal with it.
Biggie what a big relief poor Scott and his little comment,as for misty bless her little heart so good her toe healed,as for Freddie can't believe he ate a tube of glue. Love and blessings to all Bondi vets 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖😺😺😺😺🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕
Oh Lord! This is the most stress inducing episode I've ever seen (and I've watched hundreds of Bondi Vets!)! I'm 14 minutes into this and I feel sick about ALL of these guys - I know that RU-vid tries to shelter us from seeing anything upsetting but oooooh this is soooo scary! It all makes my heart ache! Sending you all so much Love!
We went through a similar event like Max. Our Jack Russell was about 16-17 years old when one day he suddenly stopped eating for 2-3 days. He was too old for any surgery and seeing him suffer for so many days was too heartbreaking so we decided to put him down. It's been over 4 years and we still miss him very much 😭.
Yeah, when we got our new puppy, the vet immediately noticed that he has pica. So, we make certain he's constantly supervised and his potentially-dangerous behavior is immediately corrected each time. He has mostly grown out of it, but we can't afford to let our guard down.
I lost my childhood dog to pyometra. She got it while on heat and the bleeding looked like normal 'heat bleeding' so we didn't think anything of it at first. When we found out the vet gave the option to desex her, but ended up not doing it bc of her age (she was 14). Instead she just got antibiotics and lots of tlc, which sadly didn't work. I'm so glad this show is spreading awareness of different illnesses, I think it's really saving lives
My kitten Acacia would suckle on her brother's underarm because they were most probably thrown out to the streets before being weened and the poor boy developed a really nasty sore on that spot. Thankfully it healed once we started monitoring Acacia's suckling more closely and after a few days she had no interest to suckle on him. It was lucky that I noticed the sore developing because everyone else thought it was adorable and didn't think it was important to make her stop.
Hope you are starting to feel a little better now. No words can explain how we feel when having to part with our friend. I had to part with my 23 year old chihuahua a while ago. I miss her every day. God bless 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
What I don't understand is why these owners, caretakers of these little critters wait so long to call in medical help. I've seen a few episodes now where infections and symptoms grow over days or weeks to where they are so terrible, before they finally call the vets. A few where it was too late and the pet dies. One little puppy went from walking funny, then to falling over, then finally loosing the use of its back legs before the owner took it in. The it was took late. Heart wrenching to say the least.
It's always easy to criticize. We don't know people's situations. Sometimes a person can't get time off work ( no work, no money for vet), sometimes things happen over a weekend or holiday and in case you're unaware, emergency vet visits to a specialist are more expensive than your regular vet, perhaps the car is out of order. I prefer to assume that people are trying to do their best for their furry friends. And yeah, I've made mistakes myself. How about not rushing to the vet when the glands in your dog's throat feel swollen because you're going for a regular visit next week? It was lymphoma. The expected prognosis is six weeks from diagnosis to death, untreated. And chemo costs the world. So, when you criticize, remember, you could find yourself in that position more easily than you could believe.
@@APrimbun A phone call to a vet to get an opinion is free. I have heard time again the most used phrases with illness. "Lets see how they are tomorrow!" Followed by "Why did I wait so long?!" Yes there can be circumstances but more often or not the thing I have heard with these tragic mishaps is they suspected something was wrong for days or weeks, and just figured they would give it a day or more to see if they get better on their own. That is what gets me, they do not even call a vet to describe symptoms and get an opinion. I don't know where you live but here there are phone numbers you can call for animals and humans. You call in describe the situation, a practitioner advises. Even if you don't have that kind of service, why guess? As I said a 5 minute phone call to a vet does not cost a cent. I was a manager of a company that moves oil rigs. One of my employees had a dog that had just had surgery, and he asked me to watch her as he made a run. It was a nice summer day so he left her tied up outside my office. I came outside to find a big Shepard humping her. I chased him away, she looked ok, but I called the vet number anyway, they told me I should take her to emergency immediately. So I dropped everything, put her in my truck and took her over, by the time I arrived there were spatters of blood all over my passenger seat. So when ever I see these stories that pops into my mind. One simple phone call is all it takes to avert disaster.
Shelters Can save kitten only if they have Foster families to take Care of them... Watch "kitten lady" chanel, she explain why it is hard for shelters to take care of new bien kitten.
You doing great job with tell her news In fact when my cat got sick I remember the show and what you told her and I took her to sleep and didn’t let her suffer
Hello Leslie how are you doing. I believe you are healthy and also having a nice weather where you are. I live in California and I'm looking for a new friend Ok!
It's still a great show... but I really miss seeing Chris and Lisa!! I know nothing stays the same... but I am just not feeling the new crew yet... But... If Tim got his own show I would absolutely watch it!! He is so handsome and funny!! And super-skilled at what he does!!
Hello Kathy how are you doing. I believe you are healthy and also having a nice weather where you are. I live in California and I'm looking for a new friend Ok!
I can’t believe Teddy liked the taste of the glue but evidently he did. Someone should write to gorilla glue to change the recipe. OMG it’s huge. Thank goodness it wasn’t glued to the inside of his stomach. What a mess.
Always feel bad for the animals that can’t be saved… poor babies! We’ve had 2 dogs that we’ve had to put down… 1 had pneumonia… and the other ones heart failed… (they were fine and were both vaccinated so we don’t know what happened) the one who’s heart failed we know she was very old (we know the breeder of the one who had pneumonia it was one of my dads brothers) so it’s very sad what happened… she was only 8… wish this upon no one and i feel so bad for Max’s owners especially…
Dog eating gorilla glue? My own silly 50 lb pibble ate carpet padding when we pulled a carpet. It got stuck in her Duodenum and she had to have surgery. The surgery went well. The surgeon called me and goes "well we got it out. I have no idea what it is though. Its like a mass of multicolored foam shreds". He sent me a pic, and I was like "its the padding of the carpet we pulled". He goes "well thats a new one.". My girl got called 'carpet muncher, literally'for a few months after.
I noticed that several times animals being anesthetised develop cardiac or pulmonary arrest. As an RN and Animal medical technician, I suspect that the pre anesthetic meds are going in a bit too fast. This is not uncommon, unfortunately.
When they stop eating, you know, when theyre so old and losing weight also, its time. Lana should have known her dog had chf and all the other issues a while ago.
They post clips of specific cases on RU-vid and then post full episodes when they come out. The full ep isn't a repost, just some of the cases have been shown before, like Teddie. It is a new episode. People should be thankful they release clips and teasers between full episodes, they could just do nothing. No reason to complain. They are vets, their job isn't to entertain us, it's to help animals.
I took my moms cat to the vets. The was full of cancer. But she had no symptoms yet. The doctor said she would have been dead in about two weeks. So grateful that we caught her before there was pain and suffering. We have 6 dogs, 4 cats. They are adored. We’d never allow them to suffer and she was no exception. I had to euthanize my 19 year old schnauzer cross a couple of weeks ago. We buy them raw wooden caskets and I finish them for each individual animal before they are buried in the yard. If my property ever sells, and my yard is excavated, there will be a lot of surprise!!
The poor woman he’s had that dog forever and it’s dying that’s gonna be heartbreaking and I understand because I just put a cat down and she was having breathing problems
Oh please don't blame the owner. No doubt they are already blaming themselves, and they have paid the price. We all make mistakes! This was an awful one, and I appreciate that you only want to warn everyone. Yes, we need to be careful when entrusted with pets and babies lives, and be aware of potential dangers. It's good for everyone to know to be very careful, and not to leave anything to chance. It's an awful price to pay for a momentary lapse of foresight.
Dogs that eat inappropriate items are unbelievable. Living with them is a constant stress/battle. You love them so much and you try so hard but the reality is you cannot watch them every minute of the day and they are fast.
I have cats who get on top and in cabinets and one can even open doors and they have knocked things into the floor including glue(child safe glue so not too bad.) And my dog glued her feet together
Do you have a suite where you show all of the picture and don't alter it? I'm used to autopsy, so I REALLY want to follow what the drs are saying while operating. Thank you, ~Mamaw Christy
Why doesn't breeders talk about desexing when selling the puppy? Unless it's a backyard breeder (mainly offsprings from those in this show), but then almost certain health issues unrelated to being intact is worse than being intact alone.
I feel so bad for Max. His health has had to of been deteriorating for awhile and his owner hasn't gotten him checked out. Some of that stuff probably could of been prevented if he had been brought in sooner. I can tell she cares about him but she has not been taking care of him. Look at how dirty his poor face is. He's completely blind. She should know, with age, more illnesses or such things are going to come on. And if you want your dog to live his best life, you can't ignore the symptoms until he stops eating. It makes me so mad.
