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
Edgy: My name is Edgy
Edgy: I’m a prairie dog
Edgy: I met mommy 7 years ago
Edgy: Mommy and I have so much fun!!
And now... it seems like it’s time to say goodbye...
Guardian’s boyfriend: Until 2 weeks ago
he could climb up to the cage
then suddenly... he became like this
Prairie dogs live about 5-8 years
Edgy is 7 years old...
Edgy: My eyelids are too heavy these days...
Due to old age
Edgy has become weak
First, we checked his temperature
Vet: It just says 'LOW'
Vet: Doctor, can’t get his temperature
Strangely cold body...
Edgy’s body temperature is only about 28 degrees Celcius..
PD: What’s the normal body temperature?
(Average: 36 degrees Celcius) Choi Young-Min, Vet: I mean, 28 degrees isn’t a body temperature of a living fella
Edgy's guardian wasn’t able to come due to work
Guardian’s boyfriend: As soon as she’s home, she’s stuck to Edgy
Guardian's boyfriend: She just cries all day...
Guardian's boyfriend: It feels like Edgy's trying his best to exist...
PD: Director, what should we do?
Choi Young-Min, Vet: Firstly..
Edgy’s body temperature and blood pressure can’t be measured
Getting a warm IV to raise the body temperature might work
※We received an agreement from the guardian
Even without energy...
Edgy: No, I don't want to!!
When the blood pressure’s too low
It’s even harder to find a vein
Kwon Jae-Yeon, Vet: Oh, he’s really in a bad condition
Kwon Jae-Yeon, Vet: Is he okay? Is he okay?
(Blink)
PD: Oh he blinked!
The moment everyone held their breaths
Kwon Jae-Yeon, Vet: He doesn’t even have energy, his heartbeat is too weak
There isn’t anything else they can do at the hospital for Edgy...
Choi Young-Min, Vet: Edgy's guardian?
Choi Young-Min, Vet: I think the guardian should be ready to say goodbye
Choi Young-Min, Vet: We’ll supply more oxygen so he can hold himself up until he arrives home at least...
For Edgy who has difficulties breathing
The only thing they can do for him
is supplying oxygen
As sensing guardian's boyfriend's presence, he makes a small cry
Guardian’s boyfriend: Let’s go home..
Afterward
Edgy has waited for mommy to say goodbye
and ended his journey in the arms of his mom
