Special Note:  There are a LOT of graphic scenes of surgical procedures on exotic animals.  Shown are blades, blood and organs.  Some viewers that are more squeamish may find some scenes difficult to watch.  There is a lot of information about different types of pets, their care, medical attention and treatments.  There is also some controversy about exotic pets in homes and not out in the wild.  Some doctors are against this practice.
