I love his pleading voice at the end about not taking the e-collar off. The male vet is by far my favorite, because his sarcastic personality just bleeds through.
As an almost veterinarian (FEW MONTHS AWAY~) that last one is a trigger.
the male vet is hilarious.....he's so sarcastic

At first I thought "e collar" was short for "electric collar"…I was like, "That's horrible advice to not take it off at night. Those prongs cant be comfortable to sleep in…". Then I realized they were referring to the "elizabethan collar" and it made much more sense!
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes. This is an awesome video.
Great videos, informational videos are brief and to the point and bad advice videos start my day with a few chuckles.
Us in the vet profession have heard some variation of these myths!
love this series, do some more please :)
I absolutely love yalls videos! Yall are so funny♡
OMG. This is so funny. Please more. MOAR.
Any advice on how getting the e-collar to stay on your hudini cat, who is an expert on removing them herself?
xD, I can't be the only one that doesn't even own a pet who's facepalming here, can I?
Only On Twitter!! 😃👍
the guy is hilarious
Love the video and the vets with sense of humor!☺😉I am and I will be taking their all advices re my cats😸😻👍
why isnt it inhumane to declaw cats then? (im not saying dogs should be able to be declawed, i am against declawing) when someone thinks about removing the last joint of a dogs toes to get rid of the claws, yeah thats awful! but why dont people see it the same way with cats???
It is inhumane. It’s illegal in Australia
What bugged me is when I wanted to get my bunny neutered, and it would cost something like $300 because a domestic rabbit is an "exotic" animal. Like no. Neutering a bunny cannot be rocket science.
Bunnies are extremly sensitive when it comes to anesthetics and need to be monitored constantly. They should never be compared with cats or dogs, but rather be thought of as tiny horses. Bunnies have very weak hearts and only a few vets are qualified to perform surgery on them. That's the reason why taking your bunny to the vet is so expensive, or at least that's how i is in Sweden. $300 seems like a bit extreme though.
Yes, normal vets are not equipped to handle rabbits. They are extremely delicate and anything that would be prescribed or used as treatment for dogs and cats can kill them. Unfortunately, regular vets don't learn all these things (because they don't specialize in rabbits). That's why they will refer to an exotic animal vet. Because they don't want to accidentally kill your rabbit. Should have done your research before you committed to a pet that's a lot of work.
Madi RoseT you don't have to specialize in rabbits in order to work with them. You just can't legally say you specialize in rabbits. If you have enough experience with them then you can work on them without having to get a specialized license, but you don't have the same benefits as someone who does have a specialized license.
They are considered exotic animals... $300 may seem extreme, but it depends on what drugs and equipment they use. Also exotic animals do cost more when it comes to labor.
It didn't cost 300$ because a rabbit is exotic. Everything that isn't a cat, dog or farm animal is an exotic in veterinary medicine, that doesn't mean that everything will be expensive. "Exotic" is just a term that's used to describe small animals other than cats or dogs. Euthanising a hamster isn't expensive. Vaccinating a ferret costs the same as a dog (same vaccine).
It cost 300$ because it's a surgery. You're paying for an actual surgery. Maybe if you need surgery one day you'll realise how cheap vet costs are. 300$ is extremely reasonable for surgery. And considering that you have to do at least 5 years of intense schooling and get a doctorate in order to be allowed to "neuter a bunny", I wouldn't diss it the way you're doing. My cousin is qualified to be a rocket scientist (although he chose to do something else in the end) and he didn't spend more time in school than my vets did. Don't forget the team monitoring your rabbit pre-op, per-op during anesthesia and post-op. It's not like the vet takes your rabbit, locks himself in a dark room, does the procedure by himself and hands him back to you. There's so much more going on that clients will never understand because they can't be there for it.
Why would you not take an e collar off at night? Unless you are speaking of something different. An e collar is an electric collar. Such as a Mini Educator or Dogtra. It is a training tool used only for training times. It has probes that irritate the skin if left on too long. I only have it on my dog while training, He doesn't have it on in the crate while I am at work, or at night, or any time I am not training. Is that what you are speaking about?
the e collar the vets are talking about is most likely short for Elizabethan collar, that plastic collar ("cone of shame") pets have to wear such as after surgery so that they don't try to bite at their bandages/cast/stitches since they can get even more injuries/make recovery take longer by doing that.
