The place where injured animals visit with hope
24 hrs animal hospital ER
One guardian hurriedly came to the hospital
and showed her pet
It’s her pet ‘Ari. He flops down spiritlessly
Ari's guardian: There were no symptoms and suddenly..overnight..
His legs are paralysed. His hindlegs
Detailed examination proceeds to check Ari's legs
Fortunately, there are some nerves that are still alive
Vet: As expected, the disc is sticking out
And I see that in 3,4 different places
I think the worst 2 parts needs surgery
The discs have been pressuring Ari's spinal cord and that caused the paralysis
Guardian: Ari, grandma is here. My baby, Ari.
Behave and get examined well, okay?
After the examination, come see grrandma. Okay?
The surgery proceeds to remove the disc
Much time passes....
Vet: When the surgery went well
And when I see him walk on his own.. I think I'm going to cry a lot
The surgery took alost 2 hours
Thank you so much, professor
Vet: You're welcome. The surgery went well. Let me explain
I've ground all the discs sticking out
So there's no parts that are being pressured.
Now, the spine cord has to recover well, but
we'll have to see how it goes
한현정 수의사:거의 다가 죽기 직전에 외상을 당했다든지 아니면은
(한현정 수의사)/ 어떤 다른 기저질환 종양환자 이런 죽기 직전 애들이 오기 때문에
(한현정 수의사)/ 얘네들만 보는게 아니라 저희는 또 보호자들 마음까지
(한현정 수의사)/ 저희가 헤아려야 되잖아요
(한현정 수의사)/ 이런거를 핸들링 하는게 사실 심리적으로
(한현정 수의사)/ 부담이 될 때가 많고 그 부분이 제일 힘들죠
갑자기 밥을 먹지않고 식음전폐를 해 내원한 '뽀미'
Vet: Her uterus is filled with puss, it’s bloated like a balloon
The problem is that the puss is mostly virus or infectious
If it causes septicemia, it could lead to death
As it could lead to septicemia, an emergency surgery is decided.
Ppomi's guardian: It made me cry a lot. I want to give her everything
But.. an unfortunate news finds Ppomi, right before her surgery
Vet: This shows the platelet level
We consider between 148-484 is normal
Ppomi’s platelet level is almost 0..
At that time... one healthy lookin doggo came to the hospital!!
Vet: As it’s a Department of Emergency and Clinical Care
for the patients that need a component that is produced right after drawing blood, like platelet
we call in a blood donor dog
and proceed with blood donation and transfusion
Drew the blood right away
and extract platelet from the blood
and transfused the platelet to Ppomi!
Vet: Ppomi’s transfusion went well and is stabilised
We’re going to proceed with the surgery right now
The platelet level came up normal, so
the vet decided to proceed with the surgery right away
If you neglect the puss-filled uterus, it'll lead to septicemia
hysterectomy is inevitable.
A few days later
Vet: Ppomi seems like she's feeling much better than yesterday
Vet: Yes, she's better
Ppomi is recovered enough to take a stroll, already!
A lot of patient dies, but we save a lot of patients, too
Sometimes, we save patients that everyone thought would die
The proud I feel… seeing the guardians happy seeing their pets
it’s invaluable
Vets pour their hearts out to save animals' lives
The night falls at the animal hospital ER, today again
