The vets cheering as Dougie floats with his packing peanut is why I love humanity. The fact that so several people came together to save Dougie when the easier solution was to put him down. How carefully they operated to tie him to his life jacket. Everyone gave it 110% for a goldfish. Then they cheered, genuinely so happy for Dougie. Humanity has its flaws, but my favorite thing about us is our empathy.
Dougie's owners obviously care very much for him, they just seemed to need a lot of instruction and education on how to keep and care for a goldfish - he needed a much bigger tank and goldfish can't have tank mates. Fish information can be sadly lacking and it leaves even the most caring owners in an unfortunate situation. He has fin curl as well. I hope things improve.
@@audreysharp2002 goldfish really shouldn't be paired with other fish. They can regularly live up to 15 years and longer in good conditions. But the pH and temp needs are different for goldfish than most others. They may seem to be doing fine for now but if i could do better for my pets, I'd want to know
@@Frankiebug21 still untrue they can be with certain fish Bettas are good as long as they are adult size, shrimp, rosys and others are good also in a tank.
All fish owners need to know that once you have more than two fish pooping in a tank you should have a tank test kit. I did and successfully grew red oscars to full size with an plecko shark and an small loach. Even though two ate the algae you still need to test ammonia, pH, nitrates, and nitrites levels daily. You also have to add chemicals to keep your tank clean and healthy for the lifespan of your fish. Water changing is crucial also. Good luck. I had my tank for 5 years and no hiccups.
not to mention goldfish really can't/shouldn't have tank mates because their needs are so specific and differ from those of those fish, and that one goldfish needs at minimum about 50 gallons because their waste output is so great. The tank is way small for this little fellow.
Poor fish needs a far bigger tank and an even bigger filter. Gold fish need big tanks and they are poop machines which makes the water conditions go south quickly
and how she said that 2,5 is a good amount of time for the goldfish… it’s like saying you’re surprised that your kid is still alive at 10. It’s sad how many people get pets without doing enough research
sad about the goldfish, they can live until 20 or 30 years. so no 2-3years is not a good run :/ Obviously he didn't die, it was just the sentiment i had an issue with. The tank is wayyyyy too small too. I don't really blame the owner though, he is clearly well loved - but the misinformation about goldfish are just so so prevalent. I even did the same mistake of a too small tank in the start, and not a strong enough filter for them. But I just did as I was told, by people I thought knew better than me. Goldfish are NOT beginner friendly or easy fish. they are messy, and need a lot of time, space and care.
Exactly- the whole fishbowl setup is a myth. When I was 6-7, I got a beta for my birthday. My parents set it up how the store did- just a fishbowl with some substrate, and a fake clam decoration. He ended up jumping out of the tank and dying while I was at school. Fish are difficult to care for if you don't do proper research.
I totally agree, however I was impressed that she actually called a vet and agreed to follow the routine. Many people wouldn't have, they might just buy a new fish.
sadly this is not the only episode were an animal is kept entirely wrong and the vets did not adress that issue. there was a rat kept alone in a cage that would have been way too small for even a hamster. and given that they had a cat there was definitely no roaming time for the poor thing. its beyond me how they could just ignore these things and then broadcast this as if it was normal. i am frustrated seeing this in the country i live in where most people are still struggling with poverty so seeing how australia is no better is really just unbelievable
I can't help but be a bit cynical. Dougy's so well loved that his owners watched him flopping around for two to three weeks before calling a vet. And in the era of the Internet, it's not as if you can't easily counter all the misinformation by simply googling and getting the info necessary to create the right conditions for your pets. More often than not, people are just careless.
the training isn't as dissimilar as you think, they are both learned helplessness. The dog didn't overcome his fear or become comfortable with skateboards. (note the dog staying as far as possible from the walking skate board and trying to leave the area of the skate park) The sound thing can be a useful tool but the dog needs to be exposed to the sound at a level that doesn't stress them out (under threshold) and then it can be counter conditioned with positive reinforcers (food, toys, etc.). A similar think could be done with the empty skateboard by allowing the dog to approach at his own speed, reinforcing small steps towards the board (looking at it, smelling it, stepping towards it). Teaching the dog to interact with the skateboard as a trick could also build his confidence
@@elijahkrueger1174 You are absolutely right, this is a good example of how much the animal behaviour science has moved forward since this segment was recorded - also Dr Chris is a vet, and not a behaviourist. A good behaviourist would absolutely follow the steps you've outlined, rather than the intense method used here. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, the whole community benefits!
@@erjatikka3029 in the video they exposed the dog to the sound at a level (volume/ proximity) that was aversive to the dog (body language showed obvious stress signals). The dog's actions had no effect on the sound and through repeated exposure the dog stopped expressing these stress signals. But if you watch the dog's body language around skateboards after he was "treated" he shows a lot of avoidance behaviors, which suggests that he is still uncomfortable. The method I described aims to give the dog a new, positive association with skateboards. By giving the dog the choice to interact with the skateboard/ sound and rewarding for calm/positive interactions the dog becomes more confident around the thing that he was scared of. This way when the dog encounters skateboards he is not afraid of them and can behave calmly. Besides the argument of animal welfare and use of behavioral suppression, a dog that is uncomfortable but has learned not to show it is more likely to react "out of nowhere" if surprised by the thing that scares them or cornered by it. Hope this made sense
Dr. Chris is a genius at lateral thinking, and I love seeing his creative solutions to complex problems in a wide variety of animals. He is so often successful at resolving the issues that I hope he influences more Vets to not give up on animals with unusual needs…and try a different approach, there is little to lose, and potentially a life to gain.🖤🇨🇦
Glad to see other people mentioning the tank size for dougy. Poor fella needs a 40 gallon to hisself at least. Goldfish are all high maintenance and huge waste producers in any tank (they are a species of carp after all) and seeing him in that itty bitty tank made me so sad. I hope a tank upgrade was brought up alongside the testing kit for the water, especially after a vet trip for a fish (not that fish don't deserve vet treatment, just very hard to even find a vet that will see them and not immediately suggest euthanasia over very easy fixes.)
And it sucks how terribly common people get misinformation about pet care, especially fish, because of pet stores and what they see other people do, it’s just frustrating to see though because these people have the internet at their fingertips and you’d think adults would know to research just a bit to make sure their beloved pet is happy and healthy, and even more so that the vet who went through schooling to learn how to help animals didn’t realize it was improper care either :( anyway, have a great day my fellow fish cherisher
@@maple.stylus9785 Yes!!! It's so easy to look up now and I'm hoping it becomes more common! It seems so odd to me that they didn't mention anything about keeping up with water quality other than just "he's a high maintenance fish now!" I feel like it's a great opportunity to educate more people about it! Hope you have a great day as well! :)
Ikr!! I’ve been keeping goldfish as a hobby for 14 years now. All my adults and juveniles live out in a 800 gallon pond at my dads house. The new ones are kept indoors until they’re clear from sickness or are big enough to be in the pond full year.
Bondi vets are unbelievable at how much they go out of their way to help animals! They come up with solutions that are so far out of the box, amazing. I bet there is not another veterinary team who would do so much for their patients. Kudos to Bondi I love all of you, I don't watch another channel. Thank you so much for all you do for animals.
@@misteranimalmanjuju3134 yes out of their way, like coming up with the collar that has the sounds of skateboarders, a fake fish bladder just something so they can swim up instead of being stuck on the bottom. A muzzle for a lamb to keep his fractured jaw in place I'm sorry but there are so many that I don't even remember. I really am sorry I do know other vet's take good care of thier patients I know my own vet saved my dogs life. So I apologize to you and all vets.
Canine dental specialists are just magnificent. One of my dogs had such bad teeth, several rotted down below the gum line before she came to us. I can only imagine the pain she was in before we found this on x-ray (quite by accident, we were x-raying her for another reason). After all the surgery, she took to tooth brushing as if it was the most fun thing to do. When she died at 18, she had sparkling white teeth and perfectly fresh breath. What those dental specialists do for our dogs is magical
Dr Chris aka Mcgyver as I've called him since I started watching Bondi Vet NEVER NEVER ceases to amaze and astound me!! The MASTERMIND of a powerful imagination and creative spirit to heal and help every creature in need REGARDLESS. And other Bondi Vet's ALSO special souls who break all barrier's in their way to help their precious souls 💞🐾💞 EACH one of you truly are "CHOSEN and CALLED and LIVE your CALLING" 💞🐾💞
Oscar and Otis had my tears coming. Chris and Oscars owner did a great job with the recovery and final surgery with his mouth. Poor guy. I hope those dogs don’t attack him again. Otis had me going because I’m a T1D and I find I tire easily now. I’m so happy the surgery was a success and hopefully soon he won’t need insulin. I love that Otis’s memory of his owner wasn’t gone and loved seeing his owner getting loved up by Otis. It was all so touching!! Dr. Kate was so totally awesome with the gold fish. Who would think a goldfish needed a floaty? I’m happy it worked out because fish are disposed of the first sign of health problems, so anyway that the fish can be saved is a plus. Skateboard puppy was cute but dangerous. My Sasha was like that with skateboarders, bicyclists and anyone with a basketball. She grew out of it but there were some close calls. Chris did a great technique to solve this pup’s problem with skateboards. Genius!!
I felt the same way about Otis! I actually had a kitty with diabetes. He lived to be 21 years old. We learned to check his sugar and give him insulin and glucose when necessary. We’re pretty sure he actually went into remission after about six years, but we kept checking his sugar just in case❤️ He lived a great life and I hope the same is true of Otis Also my brother had cancer that was localized around his pituitary. It’s surprising that he didn’t develop diabetes because he did develop pan-hypo-pituitarism so almost all of his pituitary function has to be supplemented with medication. He has to take artificial vasopressin, testosterone, growth hormone, and thyroxine. Glad Otis doesn’t need that! It’d be a whole lot of shots and pills.
My dad worked in aquaculture, which works entirely on how to house fish commercially. He would be shocked to see the tank and filter not matching the size of the fish. Maybe that shop clerk to help sort that out too.
That kitty Ottis sure loves his daddy!! You could see the love they share for each other!! Let’s not forget puppy braces!! Now that’s one devoted owner!! Hats off!! Although I’ve seen all these except for the Ottis story, this was a great comp!! Love Bondi Vets and all the Bondi pets!!
I know it's (unfortunately) common and that education about fishkeeping - especially goldfish - is not anywhere near where it needs to be to give these animals the best lives, but every time I hear someone say a timeframe of something like 2 1/2 years is "doing well" by a goldfish when they can easily live to 10-15 years or longer with proper care (large tank, good water filtration and food quality) I can't help but cringe a little. I'm glad to see most people are beyond keeping them in unfiltered bowls these days at least. I think it needs to be better practice to not shame people for honest mistakes in pet keeping, but also make it a NORMAL and encouraged thing to seek out as much info about an animal as you can BEFORE bringing it into your life, even if it's something "simple." No animal should be seen as disposable.
Exactly what I was thinking, I was so shocked to hear her say she only expected 2 1/2 years :( and a lot of the harm happens because people see “oo fish, pretty looking, I want fish” and buy what they see without even caring to research. It also sucks that because they are buying what’s at the pet store, people automatically think it’s okay for certain living conditions just because it’s being marketed there. As goes my favorite moto, surviving isn’t thriving, have a good day
I've certainly learned a lot more about keeping a goldfish since I had two Mo & Jo. I just came home & one was missing, the other was dead & the dang cat had a smug look on her face. But now I know enough to about goldfish keeping to know I don't want to do it. I'd rather go to the aquarium or look at the big aquarium in my doctor's office.
It's so refreshing and heartwarming to see a goldfish being able to be treated I remember my white ryukin GF and how attached I was to her and how sad I was when she died. I was able to hold her in my hand in the tank water and I hope that she knew I loved her and I was there for her.
that goldfish one was just painful. tank was too small and owner thought changing water every 3 days was extensive. no wonder he’s having swim bladder issues
Dog braces! Mind blown, I would never have known that this is a procedure that some dogs need. As a child I needed braces & the results were amazing. So glad Callies treatment worked
I got my braces off 16 months ago, and if I were to go just 3 nights without wearing retainer my teeth would very quickly go back to their old position. I wonder how they address that.
That goldfish needs a larger tank at least 20 gallons or a 40 gallon breeder with heavy filtration, and a airstone that is attached to a airline and air pump. Plus, Tropical fish and Goldfish should never be kept together. Both fish have different temperature and water parameter requirements, and goldfish are heavy waste producers.
Agree about the tank size & filter. Goldfish are really pond fish and need a lot of water. I believe the tank mates are white cloud minnows however which are not tropical, they are native to Chinese mountain streams and like colder temperatures so they should be fine at temperatures goldfish like.
@@lexybird7 because the tank is too small, the filter is inadequate, and she’s not compensating with enough water changes/treatment. She’s probably over feeding, too, based on the rest of it. N
how did Chris think of that skateboard stimulus-response trick. incredibly fabulous idea! :) 🐶🛹 Kate’s idea was amazing. goldfish are adorable and they seem to have their own little personalities. :) 🎏
I think Chris is a fantastic vet. He really took great care of that sheep! His love and caring heart pushed him on to be very creative and it saved the sheep's life. There are a lot of people that wouldn't even think twice about putting the sheep down.Thank you Chris, for being the a kind and caring vet!! God bless you!!!
Only the dedication, love and affection for animals is touching watching the videos, I imagine watching live... I would be very happy if one day I could...
Seeing how people love their pets is so encouraging. Maybe this world is good after all. I'm so glad they all made it and the owners didn't have to be scared anymore.
I am constantly blown away with the procedures and techniques used by Vets! For people that think it’s too expensive to do such surgeries and they’re too risky, the procedures done now make it possible for more pets to be treated and at a lower cost.
Drs Brown, Adams, and Chimes are like the MacGuyvers of Veterinary care. This is a fascinating program and wonderful views of your beautiful country! This is my new binge show.
Removing mine caused my diabetes. It was expected, but still annoying. The good thing is, mine hovers on the edge of remission most of the time. I developed diabetes insipidus immediately after surgery, and mellitus after the weight gain (300#) caused by death of my endocrine system.
Cheaters family and Dr. Chris really make a good team in getting Chester's threatening anxiety under control! A GREAT team, really! Well done, all of you! Chester, you've done well, buddy! ♥️😎
I had a huge black and red Oscar fish about 10 or so inches long. I called my vet to ask him how I can save my sweet Oscar's life and the vet told me that the only thing he does with fish is eat them. At first I laughed but then I felt hopeless and defeated. I treated him with everything and used Melafix and he got better, no thanks to the vet. I know all vets aren't this way but a fish is a families pet as well. I had him for over 10 years which was unusual for an Oscar fish to live that long. I do miss him sometimes. So excited to see this vet help the goldfish.
Ok so dougy is adorable and Idk how to get this information to his owner but he seems to be having a bit of fin rot from being stagnant so keeping an eye on that is important
My gosh this video of Bondi vet was fantastic just the fact of so many different story’s in one show really was fantastic thankyou to all the vets and surgery team that fixed the animals congratulations
Love to see when we can help our furry loved ones! 😍🥰🥰 They just don't live long enough!😪 We're so lucky to have them for as long as we do! My kitty loved to 22yrs. I miss her so much!
To have all that training and blend it with ingenuity Chris is truly remarkable. The world and most importantly every animal he treats are blessed for his continued enthusiasm and compassion for all animals. I salute you sir.
Binge watching today. I just recently came upon Bondi videos so I subscribed and hooked because of the care that these Veterans give and the way they do it. Thanks to all Vets and Nurses in assisting these beautiful fur babies.🐕🐒🐧🐾🐈
@@anitasyvalahti1730 That was kind of a joke, Anita. I'm about 25 yrs older than him 😂. There are many kinds of love. Mine is based on admiration and respect. Yes, and he's so cute. I admire him for being willing to work with so many different animals, from goldfish to crocodiles and turtles to sharks. Nice to have met you here, Anita!🐷🐺🦈🇫🇮

the fish needed a bigger tank to balance out the food and fish debri, thats why it was piling up enough to bring the nitrate up so much tank is tiny lol
Glad Oscar is doing well, praying for his full recovery so he can live a full life, poor thing he went through so much, be well Oscar and mum❤🙏Thank you Dr. Chris for your skills and compassion to animals, God bless you and family!
I don't know of any Vet that would go to the extreme measures that you do to give animals the best years of their lives. Medically and emotionally. I just love you 😍.
It's wonderful to see the vets be so creative in helping the animals and clearly it brings them great joy too :). I wish it could happen more often, the problem for so many is the cost of vet services which is hard because they definitely deserve to be paid & things cost money but it also limits their freedom to be so creative as well. Still - good on you all, you're all legends :).
I have never seen a brain surgery done on an animal! Talk about one of the most important (along with the heart)! I'm glad he made a full recovery. Precious cat.
Brain tumor one rocked?!! I am a cat addict. My first cat used to sense my seizures. But I went through 3 separate brain surgeries. God bless Otis!!! 💜🙏🏽🦋🧠
I do love vets getting creative Bondi vet is amazing and how they are so good at talking to the owners. I wanted to a vet so bad but I got older now I do production work.
My mom had sheep as a kid and dogs used to chew off their ears if their heads got caught in the fence, my grandma is a veterinarian so she always doctored them up.

Dr Chris aka Mcgyver as I've called him since I started watching Bondi Vet NEVER NEVER ceases to amaze and astound me!! The MASTERMIND of a powerful imagination and creative spirit to heal and help every creature in need REGARDLESS. And other Bondi Vet's ALSO special souls who break all barrier's in their way to help their precious souls 💞🐾💞 EACH one of you truly are "CHOSEN and CALLED and LIVE your CALLING" 💞🐾💞
hi
@@traceyhanna3465 hi
Oscar and Otis had my tears coming.
Chris and Oscars owner did a great job with the recovery and final surgery with his mouth. Poor guy. I hope those dogs don’t attack him again.
Otis had me going because I’m a T1D and I find I tire easily now. I’m so happy the surgery was a success and hopefully soon he won’t need insulin. I love that Otis’s memory of his owner wasn’t gone and loved seeing his owner getting loved up by Otis. It was all so touching!!
Dr. Kate was so totally awesome with the gold fish. Who would think a goldfish needed a floaty? I’m happy it worked out because fish are disposed of the first sign of health problems, so anyway that the fish can be saved is a plus.
Skateboard puppy was cute but dangerous. My Sasha was like that with skateboarders, bicyclists and anyone with a basketball. She grew out of it but there were some close calls. Chris did a great technique to solve this pup’s problem with skateboards. Genius!!
I felt the same way about Otis! I actually had a kitty with diabetes. He lived to be 21 years old. We learned to check his sugar and give him insulin and glucose when necessary. We’re pretty sure he actually went into remission after about six years, but we kept checking his sugar just in case❤️ He lived a great life and I hope the same is true of Otis
Also my brother had cancer that was localized around his pituitary. It’s surprising that he didn’t develop diabetes because he did develop pan-hypo-pituitarism so almost all of his pituitary function has to be supplemented with medication. He has to take artificial vasopressin, testosterone, growth hormone, and thyroxine. Glad Otis doesn’t need that! It’d be a whole lot of shots and pills.
Bless Bec and her family, such big open hearted people - the world needs more people like them!!
She is such an inspiration 💙💙
Oscar was just amazing what Chris did for him just made me cry. Love this man he has some great ideas I must say.
My dad worked in aquaculture, which works entirely on how to house fish commercially. He would be shocked to see the tank and filter not matching the size of the fish. Maybe that shop clerk to help sort that out too.
Exactly!!
That kitty Ottis sure loves his daddy!! You could see the love they share for each other!! Let’s not forget puppy braces!! Now that’s one devoted owner!! Hats off!! Although I’ve seen all these except for the Ottis story, this was a great comp!! Love Bondi Vets and all the Bondi pets!!
I know it's (unfortunately) common and that education about fishkeeping - especially goldfish - is not anywhere near where it needs to be to give these animals the best lives, but every time I hear someone say a timeframe of something like 2 1/2 years is "doing well" by a goldfish when they can easily live to 10-15 years or longer with proper care (large tank, good water filtration and food quality) I can't help but cringe a little. I'm glad to see most people are beyond keeping them in unfiltered bowls these days at least.
I think it needs to be better practice to not shame people for honest mistakes in pet keeping, but also make it a NORMAL and encouraged thing to seek out as much info about an animal as you can BEFORE bringing it into your life, even if it's something "simple." No animal should be seen as disposable.
Exactly what I was thinking, I was so shocked to hear her say she only expected 2 1/2 years :( and a lot of the harm happens because people see “oo fish, pretty looking, I want fish” and buy what they see without even caring to research. It also sucks that because they are buying what’s at the pet store, people automatically think it’s okay for certain living conditions just because it’s being marketed there. As goes my favorite moto, surviving isn’t thriving, have a good day
Even 10 to 15 years is still a short life span for a goldfish I've had fish in my pond that are 25+ years old
@@tiamariajones6634 I read 10-15 years for goldfish and some variations of them making it to 30 years, you had some nice fish ^^
I've certainly learned a lot more about keeping a goldfish since I had two Mo & Jo. I just came home & one was missing, the other was dead & the dang cat had a smug look on her face.
But now I know enough to about goldfish keeping to know I don't want to do it.
I'd rather go to the aquarium or look at the big aquarium in my doctor's office.
Do you remember going into the 5+10¢ store and buying baby chicks, parakeets, turtles, and every type of tiny animal? No information.
It's so refreshing and heartwarming to see a goldfish being able to be treated I remember my white ryukin GF and how attached I was to her and how sad I was when she died. I was able to hold her in my hand in the tank water and I hope that she knew I loved her and I was there for her.
that goldfish one was just painful. tank was too small and owner thought changing water every 3 days was extensive. no wonder he’s having swim bladder issues
Kelly is a doll. What a gentle beauty.
Otis’ story brought happy tears to my eyes. Live long little man 🐈
I’m so thankful for Chris and Oscar’s mum, for don’t giving up on him and do everything to give him the quality of life he deserves ❤
When do we get to find out if Chester has started riding his own skateboard now?
Omg I would love to see that lamo
I was wondering the same thing. Seems like just a matter of time.
I know I'm a year late but I bet Chester is shredding it up at the skate park by now
So lovely to see Oscar improving, what a lovely, caring owner he has 🤗❤🐑🐑👍
I agree❤💯
Dog braces! Mind blown, I would never have known that this is a procedure that some dogs need. As a child I needed braces & the results were amazing. So glad Callies treatment worked
I got my braces off 16 months ago, and if I were to go just 3 nights without wearing retainer my teeth would very quickly go back to their old position. I wonder how they address that.
That goldfish needs a larger tank at least 20 gallons or a 40 gallon breeder with heavy filtration, and a airstone that is attached to a airline and air pump. Plus, Tropical fish and Goldfish should never be kept together. Both fish have different temperature and water parameter requirements, and goldfish are heavy waste producers.
So true, . I'm not a fish owner, so I don't know enough, but I'm glad to be seeing these comments.
Agree about the tank size & filter. Goldfish are really pond fish and need a lot of water. I believe the tank mates are white cloud minnows however which are not tropical, they are native to Chinese mountain streams and like colder temperatures so they should be fine at temperatures goldfish like.
The nitrates were so high 🤮
@@lexybird7 because the tank is too small, the filter is inadequate, and she’s not compensating with enough water changes/treatment. She’s probably over feeding, too, based on the rest of it. N
She’ll pay for the vet bills but doesn’t know basic fish husbandry
how did Chris think of that skateboard stimulus-response trick. incredibly fabulous idea! :) 🐶🛹
Kate’s idea was amazing. goldfish are adorable and they seem to have their own little personalities. :) 🎏
The kind of vets we need when the stuff hits the fan
I think Chris is a fantastic vet. He really took great care of that sheep! His love and caring heart pushed him on to be very creative and it saved the sheep's life. There are a lot of people that wouldn't even think twice about putting the sheep down.Thank you Chris, for being the a kind and caring vet!! God bless you!!!
Poor Oscar, I hope he’s now happy and having a happy sheep life.
Wow, the creativity is on a whole other level. Absolute brilliance. These vets are very gifted people.
"Walking a scate board" and a dog with headphones. (Loving the creative ideas that are so effective.)
I adore Oscor. What a strong lamb. Orphan and survivor, and loving member of a wonderful family, with a wonderful vet. ❤🐑
💕Amazing how some vets will go above & beyond what they were taught to help & save an animals life💕
So true, some things just can't be taught at vet school 😂💙
Otis' scan of his head at 48:54 looks like a panther skull as it spins around! 😁🐆 Glad that he got better!!!
Great job by all, as usual. Dr. Kate keeps finding ways to impress with her intelligence, compassion & creativity.
Only the dedication, love and affection for animals is touching watching the videos, I imagine watching live... I would be very happy if one day I could...
I’m so glad Otis made it through his surgery he’s absolutely beautiful
ADDICTED TO THIS SHOW
Seeing how people love their pets is so encouraging. Maybe this world is good after all. I'm so glad they all made it and the owners didn't have to be scared anymore.
OSCAR is such a strong little guy - eating and drinking right after his facelift!
As a Canadian watching this, it’s super fascinating hearing someone who has a Canadian/American accent mixed with Australian
Who's that?
@@shereeirish6682 The vet who put the braces on the dog, most likely.
It's awesome to watch vets that care as much as they do!!
I am constantly blown away with the procedures and techniques used by Vets! For people that think it’s too expensive to do such surgeries and they’re too risky, the procedures done now make it possible for more pets to be treated and at a lower cost.
Chris is an incredible vet. He has brilliant ideas to fix complex problems.
What an intelligent dog is Kelly. He just knew they were discussing his teeth problems. So trusting too.
Drs Brown, Adams, and Chimes are like the MacGuyvers of Veterinary care. This is a fascinating program and wonderful views of your beautiful country! This is my new binge show.
Aw Oscar, you poor wee lamb.
Chris, you're so forward thinking with a great imagination. Keep up the good work. 🏴 Betty from Scotland 🏴
This is amazing. Loved Oscar's recovery!
Wow! My sister just had her Pituitary Tumor removed! Her diabetes is also better. Not gone, but hopefully in time.
Glad kitty is doing well 🥰
Removing mine caused my diabetes. It was expected, but still annoying. The good thing is, mine hovers on the edge of remission most of the time. I developed diabetes insipidus immediately after surgery, and mellitus after the weight gain (300#) caused by death of my endocrine system.
Cheaters family and Dr. Chris really make a good team in getting Chester's threatening anxiety under control! A GREAT team, really! Well done, all of you! Chester, you've done well, buddy! ♥️😎
Major 10s for each star in this production! The cat made the end perfect. Thanks for a great show.
That’s so creative for all of them especially the fish
The Staff was amazing. She was like watching everybody and listening to the humans diagnosis and plan to fix it. Very smart baby.
I had a huge black and red Oscar fish about 10 or so inches long. I called my vet to ask him how I can save my sweet Oscar's life and the vet told me that the only thing he does with fish is eat them. At first I laughed but then I felt hopeless and defeated. I treated him with everything and used Melafix and he got better, no thanks to the vet. I know all vets aren't this way but a fish is a families pet as well. I had him for over 10 years which was unusual for an Oscar fish to live that long. I do miss him sometimes. So excited to see this vet help the goldfish.
Chris is always coming up with amazing ideas that work !! He totally goes above and beyond ..
Ok so dougy is adorable and Idk how to get this information to his owner but he seems to be having a bit of fin rot from being stagnant so keeping an eye on that is important
That tank is painful to see, it's far too small for a goldfish an wholey inadequate filtration.
They can live 30+ years.
My gosh this video of Bondi vet was fantastic just the fact of so many different story’s in one show really was fantastic thankyou to all the vets and surgery team that fixed the animals congratulations
Love to see when we can help our furry loved ones! 😍🥰🥰
They just don't live long enough!😪 We're so lucky to have them for as long as we do!
My kitty loved to 22yrs. I miss her so much!
Dr. Chris is the best, and very well loved.
I love that you have compassion for a fish, all lives big and small matter. I will pick up a worm off the road to save it from getting run over.
Chris is truly amazing .. he was born for this !!
To have all that training and blend it with ingenuity Chris is truly remarkable. The world and most importantly every animal he treats are blessed for his continued enthusiasm and compassion for all animals. I salute you sir.
Binge watching today. I just recently came upon Bondi videos so I subscribed and hooked because of the care that these Veterans give and the way they do it. Thanks to all Vets and Nurses in assisting these beautiful fur babies.🐕🐒🐧🐾🐈
Kate the Champion 👏👏💕💕 I did not know that ornamental fish can be treated 💕💕💕💕👏
Absolute genius, Dr. Kate! Dougie is one lucky fish that you are his owner's vet!
There's no problem Dr Chris can't solve! I think I'm in love with him ❤️.
I know, right? He's a very dedicated vet & he's dreamy! 🥰
Get in line! I do believe he wears a wedding ring.
Well, i am not in love with him😅. But he is handsome man. You are totally right of that, he can solve so many problems👍👍.
@@anitasyvalahti1730 That was kind of a joke, Anita. I'm about 25 yrs older than him 😂. There are many kinds of love. Mine is based on admiration and respect. Yes, and he's so cute. I admire him for being willing to work with so many different animals, from goldfish to crocodiles and turtles to sharks. Nice to have met you here, Anita!🐷🐺🦈🇫🇮
@@erjatikka3029 😅, yes i understand. I`m older than him, and i am in married. I agree, there are many kinds of love. I admire also, he is so phenomenal of talented vet. 🐴🦁🐘🐕🐘🦏. Nice to have met you here, Erja!
the fish needed a bigger tank to balance out the food and fish debri, thats why it was piling up enough to bring the nitrate up so much
tank is tiny lol
Oscar the sheep is such a special patient lovely to see recovery and back to life
I’m learning a lot watching Bondi Vet. Thank you!
Glad Oscar is doing well, praying for his full recovery so he can live a full life, poor thing he went through so much, be well Oscar and mum❤🙏Thank you Dr. Chris for your skills and compassion to animals, God bless you and family!
Dr. Chris Brown ... I really like your job of thinking outside the box ... so you can save the Sheep Oscar 💕💕💕👏👏👏
I am really happy, Dr. Chris is saved that lambs life.❣🐑🌞💯. He is so skilled vet👏🧡.
I love it all...Have a nice weekend everyone...
Thanks and same to you :)
I like you all a lot despite the distance, liking prevails
These videos show the best parts of humanity. The intelligence, the ingenuity, the compassion. Simply amazing.
We had a 39 cent feeder goldfish that lived for 7 1/2 years and grew to 10 inches. Nee was a great pet!
I hope Bondi Vet keeps giving us updates on Zambi. I’d love to see her relationship with the pack as she grows in to adulthood.
I don't know of any Vet that would go to the extreme measures that you do to give animals the best years of their lives. Medically and emotionally. I just love you 😍.
Gorgeous Westie! I had one for 13+ years, & miss him. They're amazing dogs.
The fish rescue was totally amazing 🐟💙
It's wonderful to see the vets be so creative in helping the animals and clearly it brings them great joy too :). I wish it could happen more often, the problem for so many is the cost of vet services which is hard because they definitely deserve to be paid & things cost money but it also limits their freedom to be so creative as well. Still - good on you all, you're all legends :).
I have never seen a brain surgery done on an animal! Talk about one of the most important (along with the heart)! I'm glad he made a full recovery. Precious cat.
Pibbles are such big babies. They look so cute when they are worried.
I love how all the vets on her help all the animals and even if it is in weird ways. Great job guys
amazing. that this lady is concerned about the pets that are mostly overlooked which imho is very very brave.
Dr. Chris is not only nice. Handsome and Genius 😊❤
Awe Oscar ♥️ his owner is such an amazing woman.

Brain tumor one rocked?!!
I am a cat addict. My first cat used to sense my seizures. But I went through 3 separate brain surgeries. God bless Otis!!! 💜🙏🏽🦋🧠
I do love vets getting creative Bondi vet is amazing and how they are so good at talking to the owners. I wanted to a vet so bad but I got older now I do production work.
OMG!! I love Chester! I grew up with West Highland White Terriers! My favorite dog breed.
Callie the Staffie is such a pretty dog!
Awesome pit bull mommy! For seeing what's going on for her baby!
Bondi vets are unbelievable with what they come up with to help the animals great if all goes well
My mom had sheep as a kid and dogs used to chew off their ears if their heads got caught in the fence, my grandma is a veterinarian so she always doctored them up.
