00:08first one up all right a very good morning to you all today we have dr.
00:15Caldwell coming out to have a look at Keto the hyena who has just turned 20
00:21he's got this big growth on his neck what's up buddy oh that thing looks
00:28terrible you see that's what I'm talking about a lot harder than it was previously
00:36it's a fluid-filled bursitis what it seems to be we had it drained a year ago it
00:43didn't reveal anything too sinister back then but it's back with vengeance and it
00:49is quite hard and a little bit bigger so today we are going to try and get to the
00:54bottom of what this is all about the other thing that he's lost is a lot of
00:59condition skinny and fill his spine and fill the hips oh here comes trouble trouble
01:16trouble trouble it's a lost weight on his face and definitely body fat has decreased
01:43he's still smelling the lions
01:54not happy not impressed where have you been in fact I was wearing these pants yesterday
02:06but I didn't get that dirty so I thought you know what let me save them from being washed
02:15and wear them again but now you guys are not happy about that hey
02:48here comes mr white socks cause trouble
03:03alright so I'm not even going to theorize as to what I think this is because I've been proven wrong
03:12on so many occasions when it comes to these kinds of
03:15things immediately when I see something grow quickly and you know get hard and I see a weight loss
03:25immediately I start to get a bit fearful and think cancer but I've been told to
03:31relax in my slacks and just yeah let's just go through this process of elimination
03:39and do the tests get the biopsy and drain the fluid obviously we're going to test the fluid again
03:47so and and then yeah take it from there so I'm not going to jump to any conclusion as to
03:55giving you guys
04:09yes I didn't actually well you know his weight more or less he's a
04:10yes I didn't actually well you know his weight more or less he's a
04:26actually lost quite a bit so yeah he'll probably go down like a ton of bricks okay
04:32I mean what we can do is if we can get Keto in here lock this put him in the
04:36back
04:36then we just get him I think it's easier on that side yeah but then how is Doc going to
04:42here he is yeah is this Keto yeah get him in there get him in
04:47yeah yeah no no no yeah he's going the other side he's going the other side he knows
04:52should I be standing somewhere else how then there is now but then you're gonna have to lock them all
04:57away what I'm saying George is if we can get him in this side then we can lock him on
05:01that side then
05:02we can close and Doc just darts him
05:04yeah there we go well done guys yeah you see
05:15sometimes I do come up with slightly clever ideas
05:19yeah okay
05:24yeah
05:25yo
05:26you want some nothing wrong with his appetite
05:30nothing yeah no there's like he's not lethargic he's proper energy but
05:37everything okay
05:38yeah okay okay
05:39good up
05:41oops sorry George
05:43hello my boy
05:44I'm gonna kind of stand let's see how he's gonna
05:48can't go for it
05:50anywhere I'll just get his backs out to the
05:53to the
06:00nice
06:00thank you
06:07okay one two three
06:09one two three
07:27Where is that?
07:28Is it on the other side?
07:31What are you looking for?
07:32The lamps and...
07:34Have you got the right hyena?
07:36Yeah, yeah.
07:37Feel it.
07:39Right here on the map.
07:56See that hair goes right into my finger there.
07:59Yes, what is that?
08:00Look at that.
08:00He's there.
08:01You're kidding?
08:02Nah.
08:04It's like a thorn, eh?
08:05It's like a thorn.
08:05Yeah.
08:07I...
08:19I'm going to put it in a little bit.
08:20I'm going to put it in my bag.
08:23I'm going to put it in my bag.
08:25I'm going to put it in my bag.
08:49and that's all I require cancer cancer no doubt it's metastasized it's pointless doing a biopsy
09:00even we can send him for a full past mortem if you want I think I need to not yet
09:09yeah I can do those
09:12those biopsies but then we're cutting our survivability time down by half within two
09:21weeks it's I'm gonna I'm gonna make it angry and spread it like wildfire and to remove it now is
09:27pointless because it's spread already so we call it stage four so I'll fill the lymph nodes now as
09:34well and see if there's local lymph nodes involved which between stage three and four but it's maximum
09:40if it's in the chest okay so what I mean I mean I know it's hard to say but like
09:47what would you say
09:48time-wise ah six months five months you don't know I mean you can't I don't give a time some
09:57guys like
09:58doing that no no no no I respect that
10:04uh
10:35all right guys so certainly not the news that we were hoping for although I must say I did have
10:42a gut feel that this was something uh sinister um but at least we know now we know what it
10:53is
10:53there's nothing we can do it's no one's fault although I must I must say I feel like you kind
11:00of feel there's you feel some sort of responsibility even though you know that it's just ridiculous you
11:07shouldn't but uh I suppose that's the responsibility that you feel because these animals that are in your
11:15um care um but be that as it may we will do our best to make sure that Kito lives
11:22out the remaining
11:24days months whatever um as best as he can and certainly we'll make sure that if we see that he's
11:33starting to suffer um yeah we'll definitely make the right call in with respect to that so um
11:43um feeling a bit deflated um I'm not gonna lie um as soon as I could see what doc was
11:52thinking I was
11:53like yeah you just lose all your kind of drive and and wanting to film and um you just want
12:05to talk
12:05about other stuff more uplifting stuff so uh yeah wish I had better news
