00:00I'm sorry baby the owners were very concerned because it can be fatal this is looking like an
00:10emergency there is a significant foreign body I am having trouble it's almost like pulling a rabbit
00:20out of a hat oh hold on I can't imagine going home without her I'm Eugene Gordeski over the years I
00:35have removed many weird and wonderful foreign bodies out of animals going in my dad he's like
00:41there was disgusting magician doing a trick oh dr. Gordeski is a legend going in bingo I have
00:47removed an intact light bulb a two-carat diamond ring a garden hose from a lion and their wear yeah
00:56you're okay it's suspected one-year-old Bailey has eaten something odd Bailey she was acting a little off
01:25she usually runs around her house a lot so it was very scary when Bailey wasn't super energetic
01:32one two three she's been vomiting biggest concern on young dogs like her would be foreign bodies I'm
01:47gonna induce she may have gotten herself into something dr. Eugene Gordeski and his son Ben are on
02:01their third call of the day good morning afternoon whatever it is this is my son Ben and Ben got cookies
02:09me too hey so shall we look at the x-rays so she vomited on Saturday a couple times yesterday we x-rayed
02:18her after fasting overnight so we x-rayed her again we still see something on the stomach yeah this it
02:26looks very suspicious whatever material was present did not clear overnight likely that indicates
02:37ingestion of foreign material one of the world's only full-time traveling animal endoscopists dr. G is
02:44uniquely qualified to get whatever it is out at this point of time there is no way for me to know
02:54exactly what is in the stomach using an instrument called an endoscope dr. G will navigate down Bailey's
03:03digestive tract and use light air and water to seek and retrieve anything strange going in
03:15well so we do have some kind of object that does not belong I see the combination of some food remnants
03:39as well as significant amount of what looks like fabric it's black that's as far as I'm willing to go as of this moment
03:53so I need a large radiator forceps radiator forceps are easy to position on the foreign material
04:04um something like this let's see
04:09oops lost it uh where did I lose it uh-huh the object is slippery it makes it more challenging to
04:26get a good hold of it in a single try
04:29yeah it is pretty sizable it is quite a show everyone's kind of on their toes you know wondering
04:39what we're gonna find
04:40ha
04:44okay something is coming up
04:53oh
04:59oh my gosh
05:03what is this
05:12it is underwear
05:13it's a pair of underwear
05:20boggles the mind
05:21christmas came early
05:24but wait
05:29there is more
05:32yes
05:33there is additional foreign material
05:38potentially it can be a longer and more challenging procedure
05:44at any moment
05:48an item could begin to move into a narrower part of Bailey's digestive system
05:53and become lodged
05:55it is a little bit of a rush to get it out
05:59because chances are it's going to have a complete blockage there
06:03and then she needs to go into open abdominal surgery
06:07so that's what we want to avoid
06:12it's quite scary and worrisome
06:15i just always have like a special connection with her
06:18she's like my baby and i just like don't want to see her hurt or anything
06:22dr g is six minutes into treating Bailey the underwear muncher
06:41drum roll please
06:42a second pair confirms this mountain dog has wolfed down a feast
06:57so gnarly
06:59well guess what
07:03there is more
07:05there's more
07:06oh my gosh
07:07how many pairs of underwear are going to get pulled out of Bailey
07:10yes there is
07:12in for a pound in for a penny
07:14third pair of underwear
07:22oh
07:26fourth pair of underwear
07:33yikes
07:35to me it kind of looks like an absurd magic trick
07:38it's all the same color
07:40Bailey has a particular brand
07:42though dr g has been performing endoscopies for more than two decades
07:49he never knows exactly what's going to come out
07:52it is challenging for me to tell how much foreign material there is
07:58the largest number of underwear i have removed from the same stomach was five
08:03i'm not much of a betting person but i would suspect that there will be more where those came from
08:11four have come out right
08:13yeah so this could tie it
08:15this will tie it
08:17today i learned that my dad has an underwear record
08:20i didn't know that before
08:21i don't know if i needed to know that
08:23this dog is impressive
08:40This dog is impressive.
08:51We shall see whether we tie the record or break the record.
08:54Gotta beat the record man, we're record beaters, that's what we are.
08:59I'm sure there's more.
09:03Well, we've all got like underwear fever and we want to go for gold.
09:08I see a bunch of food.
09:15But I don't see any more of the fabric.
09:19I'm sorry to disappoint, but I think this is it.
09:25I guess we'll have to call this one a tie for today.
09:29I'm so proud of my dad.
09:31Can your dad pull five pairs of underwear out of a dog?
09:35Hey, I'm Ben.
09:37It's doing really well.
09:38They've pulled a bunch of stuff out.
09:40This is it.
09:41It's underwear.
09:42I can smell it from here.
09:44It does not smell very pleasant.
09:46My pet ate underwear.
09:49Lots of underwear.
09:51But my dad was saying that this is a tie for the most pairs ever pulled out of a stomach.
09:58Bailey should be ready to rock soon.
10:00Okay, awesome.
10:02Okay, good.
10:03One, two, three.
10:06There you go.
10:07Good girl.
10:08Yeah.
10:11I'm sure Bailey's gonna be feeling so much better now.
10:13Bye, G.
10:14Cheers.
10:15See ya.
10:16Bailey certainly will be one to remember.
10:19That's amazing.
10:32Alrighty.
10:33No, your owners are the other way.
10:37This way.
10:38Come on.
10:39Today was definitely a non-boring day.
10:42There she is.
10:43Hi.
10:44She did so well.
10:45She's like, I just woke up from a really great snooze.
10:48It's just so great to see her get that energy back and hopefully not have any more complications
10:52in the future.
10:53Just gotta be careful around, uh, clothing and stuff like that.
10:54Hopefully she won't get into anything again.
10:55Perfect.
10:56I feel so much better.
10:57She's all safe and gets to come home now which is super exciting.
11:00Have you learned your lesson, Bailey?
11:01Yeah.
11:02Maybe.
11:03Let's go home.
11:08Wow!
11:09Everyone in that room was...
11:11I'm going to be taking it.
11:12I'm just going to see her on the phone.
11:13Yeah.
11:14It's just so great to see her get that energy back and hopefully not have any more complications
11:15in the future.
11:16Just gotta be careful around clothing and stuff like that.
11:17Hopefully she won't get into anything again.
11:18Perfect.
11:19I feel so much better.
11:20She's all safe and gets to come home now which is super exciting.
11:21Everyone in that room was excited to see the underwear come out.
11:25One pair of underwear, very satisfying.
11:28Two, everyone got, like, a little bit more revved up.
11:31And then once we were past three, like, towards five,
11:33people were just, like, electric.
11:35Do you get that?
11:36When it's, like, multiple objects getting removed like that?
11:38Yes, you get bets, you get friendly wagers going.
11:42It is fun.
11:44And what's the rarest article of clothing you've ever pulled out?
11:47I've pulled out one intact pair of pants, lethards,
11:52as well as two intact T-shirts.
11:56That's absolutely unhinged.
12:05I know.
12:06This is not what you like.
12:10Nine-year-old Churro may have scarfed down a dangerous snack.
12:15My daughter was stitching with the needle and thread.
12:18Before I knew it, Churro had just jumped up onto the counter.
12:23You know, this is not your spot.
12:25You don't like being here.
12:30I had a phone call this morning.
12:32The owners were very concerned.
12:35And I told them, come right in, right away,
12:37because it can be fatal.
12:40Oh, so angry.
12:45Oh.
12:46Here's something else coming in.
12:47This is looking like an emergency.
12:48Well, you want to put it in the GPS?
12:49Yes, absolutely.
12:50Is it okay if you do this one solo?
12:51I just have to update your calendar,
12:52and there's about a lot of things.
12:53It's okay.
12:54It's okay.
12:55It's okay.
12:56It's okay.
12:57It's okay.
12:58It's okay.
12:59It's okay.
13:00It's okay.
13:01It's okay.
13:02It's okay.
13:03It's okay.
13:04It's okay.
13:05It's okay.
13:06It's okay.
13:08It's okay.
13:09It's okay.
13:10It's okay.
13:11It's okay.
13:12It's okay.
13:13It's okay.
13:14It's okay.
13:15It's okay.
13:16It's okay.
13:17It's okay.
13:18It's not been like an emergency.
13:19Well, you want to put it on the GPS?
13:20Yes, absolutely.
13:21Is it okay if you do this one solo?
13:22I just have to update your calendar,
13:23and there's a bunch of clinic outreach
13:24that I need to catch up on.
13:25Sure.
13:26Well, that's not a problem with me.
13:28Hi, Pearl.
13:29Hi, Carl.
13:36I'm sorry, baby.
13:39I know, honey.
13:44A middle-aged cat that has swallowed a needle
13:47potentially can be a dangerous situation.
13:51Good afternoon.
13:53So we have repeated the x-ray?
13:55Yeah.
13:59According to the x-rays,
14:03there is a significant foreign body
14:05that we clearly see there.
14:08All right, so that's, in a nutshell,
14:10what there is.
14:17In this case,
14:19I use alligator forceps.
14:24They provide you with reasonable traction.
14:27They get a decent hold onto the needle,
14:31and you are unlikely to lose the needle.
14:35Okay.
14:42Getting into the stomach now.
14:46Right away, Dr. G's search
14:56is complicated by churros' breakfast.
15:00Paddle through the food using the forceps.
15:03That certainly can make finding the foreign body
15:09more challenging than if the stomach was empty.
15:14It is softened kibble.
15:16It smells fishy.
15:18It is quite enticing.
15:19Still don't see it.
15:40We were in crunch of time.
15:42the needle is very sharp and it can pierce through the stomach this can be very very dangerous
15:52my son is an autistic guy and chiro lives brought out a side of his personality that
16:02we had never seen before he just lights right up he prepared the kids before we
16:08sent them to school chiro may not come home they may not see her again i can't imagine going home
16:18without her
16:18uh looking for the needle the sewing needle inside chiro is an emergency situation
16:41for more than eight minutes it's been hiding from dr g in a cat food haystack
16:51in chiro's case i am having trouble i am not seeing anything that resembles what i need
17:00as of yet um oh hold on wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait okay
17:15the needle is approximately five centimeters long spanning more than half of churro's stomach
17:26an average size needle for a cat is a foreign object of a significant size
17:34come on come on come on come on come on come on
17:37now dr g needs to grasp and precisely line up the sharp needle and coax it up the narrow pipe
17:49to churro's mouth i try to position the forceps at the tip of the needle so i can grasp it the correct
18:00way and move it into the open okay i believe one needle is coming up
18:11wow
18:19and out
18:25there you go
18:28as soon as i saw that needle come out in my head i was celebrating
18:33it's almost like pulling a rabbit out of a hat
18:38i cannot believe that that's what we did for today very unexpected
18:43most cats fortunately are relatively indifferent to needles
18:49there are cats that are not and that's my client base
18:55there you go
18:56it was a beggar leaf for me
18:59we are all excited that churro is safe
19:03okay you guys have a good day
19:06i've done what i was supposed to do and now off to the next case
19:11here's churro
19:23she's relieved but she is a little mad
19:30this is what she had in her stomach
19:35that's so gross
19:37that was inside of my cat
19:42ugh
19:44don't sew with a cat they will eat your needle
19:47i'm going home and i am throwing out the sewing kit
19:49seeing churro needle free and healthy safe is such a weight off my shoulders
19:57i'm gonna take you home
19:58you know
20:00she's with her family she's gonna be happy
20:03and that's probably one of the biggest things that i love about this job
20:06yeah
20:07so it was a needle and a cat is that right
20:18yep a needle and a cat
20:20well a needle has a real intensity to it
20:23what are some other sharp objects that you take out
20:26so i have taken out 90 pens
20:29not needles but clothes
20:31i've had some jewelry objects
20:35i've had some fish hooks
20:37i've had an open safety pin in a stomach once
20:40i mean sword swallowing dogs
20:42uh shish kebab skewers
20:45oh wow
20:45a tool
20:46for a little bit of a needle
20:47it's a great thing that i need to get up
20:48to see a little bit of a power
20:49so i can follow it
20:50well
20:50when i see a couple of things i can see on the other side
20:53and i see a little bit here
20:53as an other side
20:54i hope that i like
20:55that i can see a little bit of a mile
20:55i think
