00:02You've looked after your teeth, my boy. That's the way a king should be treated.
00:06That's it.
00:10Right, good morning everyone. So today we've got Dr. Caldwell coming out to take some bloods from
00:16Ekko and Vietzi. Yeah, I've been meaning to do this for a while. I noticed a weight loss both
00:23in Ekko and Vietzi. It may have something to do with kidneys, losing protein through the kidneys,
00:31and so Doc is coming here to sedate and to take blood and to go and analyze that to see
00:38what we can do about it. What we're going to try and do to alleviate stress is load them alternatively
00:47in the loading vehicle and then just give them the sedation via an injection. This is a good
00:52opportunity for you guys to subscribe to the channel if you're not already subscribed. Reason being
00:58is you can hit that notification bell and then when we put out the video to present the results
01:05you won't miss out. Good morning Doc. I think what you're going to have to do is park close to
01:11this
01:11ramp. Okay. So they can climb in. I'm going to put them both in for now. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:25Nice. Come. Yeah. Come Nobi. Don't act like a fool.
01:41Okay. Just go and park in the shade for me. All right. We're going to park him in the shade
01:46while we
01:46wait for Peter. It shouldn't be long.
01:5720 big ones. Yeah. 20 and 20 and losing weight. Wow. Is it not just muscle mass from inactivity?
02:10Nice one Doc. You know how cats work out. They go to gym. Yeah, like you. Exactly.
02:16What did you do at gym today? It was legs day. Legs day. Beginning of the week we always do
02:21legs
02:22because we don't skip legs day. You don't skip legs day. You must never skip legs day Sabrina. I agree.
02:27Yeah. Me too. I never skip legs day. Yeah. Doc, you skip legs day. I skip legs day all the
02:32time.
02:35Okay, and it's almost.
02:38Keep her occupied.
02:59Okay.
03:07Where are you?
03:11Yeah, Nobi.
03:16come here!
03:19Come here, come here!
03:20Let's go!
03:21Come on, come on!
03:28Yeah!
03:30Yeah!
03:31congratulations!
03:32Nobby.
03:32Yeah!
03:36Come here!
03:40just19.
03:41Nobby!
03:43Yeah, let's go.
03:48Oh, yeah.
03:50Nabi. Yeah.
03:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:00Okay, that wasn't too bad.
04:02It's 20 years of age.
04:04Mm-hmm. Catches up on you.
04:06Catches up on you.
04:070.7.
04:14I gotta just check these nails as well.
04:17Yeah.
04:18Go through all the nails.
04:22Miles will give her a full
04:23Yeah, every...
04:25Peddy, Manny.
04:27She prefers red.
04:29Does she prefer red?
04:30Yeah.
04:30You are gonna paint them.
04:33Nice red.
04:35Sabrina.
04:35Pretty nice.
04:36Crimson red.
04:39She likes blood red.
04:41For some reason.
04:43She likes blood.
04:44Blood orange.
04:46Grab her body.
04:49Sit.
04:51Nice sit.
04:52Nice.
04:52Grab her.
04:55You can put her down on the stretcher.
04:59Nice, guys.
05:00It's like you've done this before.
05:02Amazing.
05:03Pop in the shade, yeah?
05:04Pop in the shade, yeah?
05:10Really start shaving and drawing gladded pieces.
05:15Nice shade.
05:20Happy cat.
05:24Where is he going?
05:25Where is he going?
05:25He's going out.
05:27Is he gonna manage to get past there?
05:30Not sure.
05:32You should, eh?
05:34Yeah.
05:34Just shout if you need me to do anything.
05:37You're good?
05:38Yes.
05:45Certainly not.
05:52See, unlike the younger ones, the jaguilas right on the laryngeal process, you see that they're not normally on it,
06:01so...
06:01Does it move over when they get older?
06:03Yeah, their muscles shrink and then everything moves.
06:06So yeah, that's also the atrophy of the muscles of the neck.
06:09Crazy.
06:10Yeah.
06:11So that's why she would shave like high away first to expect it there.
06:16But it's actually much closer.
06:22Yeah, shame my sweetie. You are wasting away.
06:25Jeez, holly.
06:27Check that.
06:29We must do that one there.
07:04Not only back legs.
07:06No, it's everywhere.
07:07Yeah.
07:08I mean here you can feel everywhere.
07:11But I'm happy to have done it because I was just a little bit concerned that it's been quite quick.
07:20I mean it hasn't been like over a year or whatever.
07:25It was like literally three months I've noticed quite a bit of her spine sticking out.
07:30No, it's always good and we're doing it in a super slow, safe way.
07:34Yeah.
07:35We're not causing any additional stress to her metabolism.
07:40Just to clean these injection spots from here.
07:44With the urine we're going to run what we call a urea protein creatinine ratio.
07:50Which gives you an idea of if she's losing protein through her kidneys or not.
07:54Okay.
07:55That's why we want the urine.
07:56Alright.
07:57Okay.
07:57I'll see you guys just now.
07:58Okay.
07:59Cheers.
08:00See you later.
08:01Catch you on the other side.
08:02Catch you on the other side.
08:04Good.
08:04Okay.
08:05That went well.
08:08I think Doc's right when you see her sedated like that.
08:12It's just, yeah, immediately you start to think, okay, this is just an old cat.
08:17And that there's actually nothing urgently wrong.
08:24So it's nothing that needs or requires immediate attention.
08:29It's just an old age thing.
08:32And we can obviously put her on a lot of stuff to help support the kidneys.
08:37And which we will definitely do.
08:42We have had her on some support.
08:45So I'm sure that'll all be ramped up.
08:49I've just left them there to wake her up while I rush off with George to get Vietzi.
08:56We're going to load him into the vehicle and do the same thing because it just works so
09:02much better if you sedate the lions without any stress or, you know, the sound of the gun,
09:10the look of the gun, him being in a night enclosure with a stranger coming up and pointing
09:17something at him.
09:18It's just super stressful for these older cats.
09:28Right, so I got the sedation in hand and look how beautiful the sanctuary is looking.
09:39There's the six lions, Thor's group.
09:45Hello, my boy. Oh, oh, oh. Yeah, yeah.
09:51Hello, my boy. Oh, oh, oh. Yeah.
10:09Hey.
10:12Hey.
10:13If I hit, see here, here.
10:24A bit cranky today.
10:28Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:49Should I move him maybe?
10:51Yeah.
10:51So his bump can work.
10:53I need to get to the...
10:54Yeah, right here.
10:55Perfect.
11:05Helps when you've got cats that are easy going.
11:21Where is he?
11:22Where is he in the corner?
11:24I've got the head.
11:26I've got the head.
11:26I've got the head.
11:27I've got the head.
11:28I've got the head.
11:29The head and the shoulders.
11:32You've got the head and the shoulders.
11:33Nice.
11:34Nicely guys.
11:35Nice, nice, nice.
11:37That's the way a king should be treated.
11:39That's it.
11:40That's it.
11:45He's lost weight, eh?
11:46He has, eh?
11:50He feels warm as well, eh?
11:52Mm-hmm.
11:52He feels warm.
11:53We'll take his temperature now, but he was in the sun.
11:56Yeah, true.
11:57True, true, true.
11:58That is true.
12:00Have you got a Leatherman?
12:02George?
12:03You?
12:05Myself?
12:05Don't you want to give him a haircut?
12:09Okay.
12:09Where's your Leatherman?
12:10I just want to cut these mats off.
12:13He's got these.
12:14What would work better?
12:15With the scissors.
12:23Thanks.
12:39Sounds good, Inna.
12:40Sounds good.
12:41Mm, very good.
12:42That's running full ball there.
12:45Temperature is 38.1.
12:46Okay.
12:48They're very ambient temperature dependent on the, or sensitive, that's the right route.
12:55Okay, go through the whole mouth, the eyes, and all the nails, okay?
12:59Every single thing you go through.
13:00I wonder what this elk's story is.
13:05I will have those bloods run today.
13:08Don't know if this is chronic urination, that.
13:12Is he leaking?
13:14Is he urinating?
13:15Is he spraying?
13:15He does leak a bit.
13:17He does leak when he walks.
13:18He's leaking when he walks.
13:22Yeesh, this one's feeling a bit.
13:25A bit long.
13:28Yeah, he just hurt himself there.
13:32It's a bit of a laceration.
13:33We'll leave that.
13:35It's just these papillomatous growths.
13:39That's fine.
13:40Doesn't look too bad.
13:41Good, thank you.
13:42Good spotted.
13:43Check eyes, no caper rats.
13:45He's a beautiful lion.
13:47What causes those papilloma things?
13:49Bovine.
13:50So it is that, eh?
13:52Yeah.
13:53It's bovine papillomas.
13:55We've done lots of Easter pathology on that.
13:59But so you can't really cut those ones away?
14:01I cut them away, but they just...
14:03Come back.
14:03Yeah, it's in the body.
14:05It's not too bad.
14:07No, they actually haven't come back too badly.
14:10Next one.
14:34Are you happy?
14:36Well, we might as well do it because we're going to have to do the others.
14:39Let's do it.
14:40We're going to come back one day.
14:41Yeah.
14:43Okay, come on.
14:43A little bit more.
14:47Okay.
14:58We're going to do vitamin A levels on them as well?
15:01Yes.
15:01Yes.
15:01Yes.
15:03Even though I think with him we did it July last year.
15:06Something we're going to do...
15:06That'll be good too, yeah.
15:08Yeah.
15:16No, I can leave all the sedations to you now.
15:19I'm quite happy with the way it's going.
15:22Well, on the cats that are good.
15:27Which are most of them.
15:29Yeah.
15:31Alright guys, so Peter's left.
15:33Vietsi is in the process of waking up.
15:36And Ekka is up and awake.
15:40Well, he's left now.
15:44He's going to go and run the bloods.
15:45And then as soon as I know the results,
15:47I will let you guys know.
15:51Peter's not or doesn't seem to be too concerned.
15:54So let's hope that the bloods confirm that.
