Back then,
We removed lumps from shark’s fins
and made a prosthetic eye for an eyeless crocodile
A Kritter Klub Original Series
Animal Hospital for Tiny Animals
This is Yochi (Cueless, 7 weeks old)
(Hedgehog)
Producer: He’s smelling you, doctor
Choi Young Min, Vet: Don’t bite me
They smell then bite
Choi Young-Min, Vet: He’s got a skin disease, so as you can see
due to bacterial infection, he’s lost a lot of spines in the middle
The skin disease he's been suffering from since before adoption
Vet: Check this upon adopting a hedgehog, If you stare in between the spines on the back
If there’s something that squirms
Then it’s mite infection
Take note upon adoption
Producer: Awwie sho cute
Yochi: I ain’t cute
Reckless 7-week-old hedgehog..
Vet: Although right now it’s covered with spines
Vet: At birth, the spines are buried inside the body
and soon after, pricks up one by one
Baby hedgehogs that look so soft
As time passes
Becomes like a chestnut bur
Here begins a hedgehog treatment!
Choi Young-Min, Vet: He's got character
Squeeze it (disinfectant) so it runs down
Otherwise, it won’t reach under the spines, the medicines
So after doing this...
(Rubs)
Choi Young-Min, Vet: We are doing bacterial infection treatment, so...
antibiotic for babies...
(explaning shots of that sort that the vet's giving him)
Choi Young-Min, Vet: ...will be given
Another day of tiny animal’s shot time
Choi Young-Min, Vet: See, I haven’t grabbed anything yet
Choi Young-Min, Vet: He's screaming, such a crybaby
(I can't look)
Yochi : Mom Help!!!
Yochi, let’s get well soon
Yochi: I’m ANGRY!
Yochi: MAD!
Afterward
For skin treatment, Yochi is getting a bath with medication
Let’s wash it all off!!
Another episode for today
The tiniest among the tiny animals visited
This is Bibi, 3 months old (Bearded Dragon)
Choi Young-Min, Vet: Look, let's see how much he weigh
He's 5g
He's so light… light yet precious..
Compared to an A4 (8x11) paper
It's 6g
Producer: The paper weighs 6g
Choi Young-Min, Vet: He’s lighter than an A4 paper
You’re so tiny, do you feel unwell?
Choi Young-Min, Vet: He has a disease that melts his bones
We have a hard jaw bone
But for Bibi, if you press on it
His jaw caves in
Bibi has metabolic bone disease
Due to the weak jaw, can’t eat well either
Choi Young-Min, Vet: When he feels better, we’re going to give him calcium shots and stuff
and have treatments that will strengthen the bones
First, recovering his condition is his first priority
Bibi: It hurts!
Even with such a tiny bodeh
Bibi endures the treatment
Choi Young-Min, Vet: When one has a disability... *Bibi doesn't have a left arm
one tends to give up easily
But in Bibi’s case, there’s nothing like that
He tries to move around and
tries to survive, so I think we should help him
with everything we can
Seeing a finger-sized lizard’s will to live,
everyone’s touched today
Afterward
Bibi cheers up and eats
We thank all guardians of the tiny animals
who knows regardless of their sizes, all lives are valuable
