How's it going? 98 00:03:19,407 --> 00:03:23,494 So this is the speculum, and now we're gonna open it on each side. 99 00:03:27,373 --> 00:03:31,794 Okay!

OAKLEY: Yeah, peek down here. 104 00:03:41,429 --> 00:03:43,014 I don't think know if you can have a look, but you can see. 105 00:03:43,097 --> 00:03:44,224 DR. DOYLE: Oh! 106 00:03:44,307 --> 00:03:46,434 DR. OAKLEY (off-screen): Yes, on both sides.

OAKLEY: Comin' out from the roof of his mouth! 110 00:03:53,274 --> 00:03:57,111 Okay. This is gonna be satisfying. 111 00:03:59,489 --> 00:04:00,740 DR. OAKLEY (off-screen): Phew! 112 00:04:00,823 --> 00:04:02,325 DR. DOYLE (off-screen): You're startin' to look sweaty and glisteny. 113 00:04:02,408 --> 00:04:03,326 DR.

OAKLEY: So, I figure since I helped Aimie with Monty's 127 00:04:46,327 --> 00:04:49,580 teeth, she should have to come give me a hand. 128 00:04:49,664 --> 00:04:52,750 DR. OAKLEY (off-screen): So, we're gonna head out to Buffaloland Park and I'm gonna 129 00:04:52,834 --> 00:04:55,253 get her to help me round up a whole herd of bison. 130 00:04:55,336 --> 00:04:57,088 Here we are! 131 00:04:59,882 --> 00:05:01,384 It's probably an equal exchange, you know, 132 00:05:01,467 --> 00:05:03,511 Monty compared to a bull bison. 133 00:05:03,594 --> 00:05:05,972 He's about six foot tall, 2,000 pounds, 134 00:05:06,055 --> 00:05:07,807 we'll be equal after that. 135 00:05:09,309 --> 00:05:12,020 NARRATOR: These American bison were translocated to this 136 00:05:12,103 --> 00:05:15,315 maritime province from Canada's interior and have 137 00:05:15,398 --> 00:05:18,067 thrived here since 1970. 138 00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:21,988 Buffaloland used to be owned by the P.E.I. government, 139 00:05:22,071 --> 00:05:24,198 but its new Buddhist owners don't agree 140 00:05:24,282 --> 00:05:26,409 with the old management strategy. 141 00:05:26,492 --> 00:05:28,286 DR. OAKLEY: Often in the past, the animals were culled, 142 00:05:28,369 --> 00:05:29,662 or sold for meat. 143 00:05:29,746 --> 00:05:32,165 DR. OAKLEY (off-screen): But this herd is now owned by the Moonlight Foundation. 144 00:05:32,248 --> 00:05:35,251 And they're a Buddhist group and they don't believe in 145 00:05:35,335 --> 00:05:37,045 taking the life of the animals. 146 00:05:37,128 --> 00:05:39,047 NARRATOR: But a no-kill philosophy can lead to 147 00:05:39,130 --> 00:05:41,841 overpopulation and inbreeding. 148 00:05:41,924 --> 00:05:44,802 DR. OAKLEY (off-screen): These bison are quite inbred already. 149 00:05:44,886 --> 00:05:48,222 Besides being creepy, inbreeding causes a lot of issues. 150 00:05:48,306 --> 00:05:51,225 You can have heart defects; you can have other congenital 151 00:05:51,309 --> 00:05:55,104 issues and the population can definitely be more susceptible to disease. 152 00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:59,776 DR. OAKLEY (off-screen): But also, the population is starting to get too big for 153 00:05:59,859 --> 00:06:02,987 its caring capacity, and so we can only have a limited number 154 00:06:03,071 --> 00:06:04,781 of bison here. 155 00:06:05,823 --> 00:06:09,369 NARRATOR: The solution? Castrate all the bulls. 156 00:06:09,452 --> 00:06:11,287 That's where Michelle comes in. 157 00:06:11,371 --> 00:06:13,164 DR. OAKLEY: Did you only tag the ones you castrated? 158 00:06:13,247 --> 00:06:14,332 DR. LISTER: Yes, yes. 159 00:06:14,415 --> 00:06:16,209 DR. OAKLEY: Oh, okay, so then this is definitely a bull, castrated bull. 160 00:06:16,292 --> 00:06:17,543 DR. LISTER (off-screen): Castrated bull, def. 161 00:06:17,627 --> 00:06:18,586 DR. OAKLEY: Okay, okay. 162 00:06:18,669 --> 00:06:21,506 NARRATOR: She needs all hands on deck for such a big job, 163 00:06:21,589 --> 00:06:23,633 so in addition to Aimie and Sierra, 164 00:06:23,716 --> 00:06:26,886 she'll be working with ranch caretaker Wade, 165 00:06:26,969 --> 00:06:31,015 and the bisons' regular vet, Dr. Dave Lister. 166 00:06:33,351 --> 00:06:35,770 DR. LISTER: It's always a challenge working with wild animals. 167 00:06:35,853 --> 00:06:38,815 And, uh, I appreciate Michelle's assistance today 168 00:06:38,898 --> 00:06:42,026 because it's nice to have more than one professional when 169 00:06:42,110 --> 00:06:44,195 you're doin' a job like this. 170 00:06:44,278 --> 00:06:47,907 DR. OAKLEY: So the plan is to move the bison into the first big field. 171 00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:48,991 WADE: C'mon! Hup! 172 00:06:49,075 --> 00:06:50,243 DR. OAKLEY (off-screen): Then from that big field, 173 00:06:50,326 --> 00:06:51,452 move 'em into a smaller field. 174 00:06:51,536 --> 00:06:54,956 And that smaller field or pasture is connected to the chute system. 175 00:06:55,039 --> 00:06:58,751 NARRATOR: The chute system is a pen that acts like a funnel, 176 00:06:58,835 --> 00:07:02,672 forcing the bison into single file so they can be sorted and 177 00:07:02,755 --> 00:07:05,049 given medical care. 178 00:07:05,133 --> 00:07:09,595 DR.

OAKLEY (off-screen): So, Zoro's checkup shows that he's extremely healthy. 728 00:28:15,151 --> 00:28:19,656 But unexplained anesthetic deaths do still occur in horses. 729 00:28:19,739 --> 00:28:22,701 The rate is much higher than it is for people and dogs and other animals. 730 00:28:22,784 --> 00:28:25,537 It's about one in 100. There you go. 731 00:28:25,620 --> 00:28:27,414 DR. DOYLE: Better. DR. OAKLEY: Nice. 732 00:28:27,497 --> 00:28:30,333 DR. OAKLEY (off-screen): So we're gonna be very careful around the anesthesia and do 733 00:28:30,417 --> 00:28:31,918 lots of support work. 734 00:28:32,001 --> 00:28:35,505 Sit boy. Sit. 735 00:28:35,588 --> 00:28:37,757 DR. DOYLE: There he goes. 736 00:28:37,841 --> 00:28:41,678 DR. OAKLEY: Yup. There you go. 737 00:28:41,761 --> 00:28:43,596 Good. 738 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,599 NARRATOR: Now that Zoro's down, 739 00:28:46,683 --> 00:28:51,896 Michelle and Aimie review their surgical plan one last time. 740 00:28:51,980 --> 00:28:55,734 DR. OAKLEY: And so, all that's gonna just remodel afterwards, right? 741 00:28:55,817 --> 00:28:56,943 DR. DOYLE: Yup! 742 00:28:57,026 --> 00:28:58,361 DR. OAKLEY: Huh. 743 00:28:58,445 --> 00:28:59,779 DR. DOYLE: If you can, this is a good image though, actually. 744 00:28:59,863 --> 00:29:02,574 You can kind of see the outline of the piece that's fractured. 745 00:29:02,657 --> 00:29:05,910 DR. OAKLEY: So, in this surgery just one small piece 746 00:29:05,994 --> 00:29:07,829 is being removed from the coffin bone. 747 00:29:07,912 --> 00:29:12,292 It's not tiny, and it's not gonna be easy to get out. 748 00:29:13,293 --> 00:29:15,462 DR. OAKLEY (off-screen): And, when you're entering a joint space, 749 00:29:15,545 --> 00:29:18,173 the longer we have that joint open, 750 00:29:18,256 --> 00:29:20,633 the higher the risk is of infection. 751 00:29:20,717 --> 00:29:23,595 It's, it's not only about keeping everything as clean as 752 00:29:23,678 --> 00:29:25,430 possible, it's keeping the procedure as short as 753 00:29:25,513 --> 00:29:28,224 possible, because we could get everything done and be like, 754 00:29:28,308 --> 00:29:29,726 "Oh this was awesome." 755 00:29:29,809 --> 00:29:32,145 DR. OAKLEY (off-screen): And a week later he breaks with a joint infection. 756 00:29:32,228 --> 00:29:34,147 Well, it was all for nothing. 757 00:29:36,149 --> 00:29:37,776 DR. DOYLE (off-screen): That's perfect. 758 00:29:37,859 --> 00:29:39,402 DR. OAKLEY (off-screen): So Aimie's about to put the tourniquet on, 759 00:29:39,486 --> 00:29:42,947 and that's gonna help slow down the bleeding during surgery. 760 00:29:43,031 --> 00:29:44,407 DR. DOYLE: Tourniquet's on, Kate. 761 00:29:44,491 --> 00:29:46,034 DR. OAKLEY: So anesthesia records the time that the 762 00:29:46,117 --> 00:29:50,705 tourniquet went on, and they'll let Dr. Doyle and us 763 00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:53,124 know if there's a time when it's been on too long and 764 00:29:53,208 --> 00:29:54,542 needs to come off. 765 00:29:54,626 --> 00:29:57,796 NARRATOR: If the tourniquet's on for longer than two hours, 766 00:29:57,879 --> 00:30:01,132 Zoro's foot could suffer tissue damage, 767 00:30:01,216 --> 00:30:04,469 one of many surgical complications from which he 768 00:30:04,552 --> 00:30:06,346 might never recover. 769 00:30:06,429 --> 00:30:08,264 DR. DOYLE (off-screen): Good. And we'll go scrub. 770 00:30:08,348 --> 00:30:10,183 DR. OAKLEY: Scrub-a-dub dub. 771 00:30:10,266 --> 00:30:12,560 DR. DOYLE (off-screen): We're very concerned about sterility. 772 00:30:12,644 --> 00:30:16,189 First and foremost, this is a veterinary teaching hospital, 773 00:30:16,272 --> 00:30:20,109 so we do, do things every time by gold standard. 774 00:30:20,193 --> 00:30:25,782 A bone infection or a joint infection in a horse generally 775 00:30:25,865 --> 00:30:27,826 ends up in a euthanasia. 776 00:30:27,909 --> 00:30:29,160 More sterile, less feral. 777 00:30:29,244 --> 00:30:30,245 DR. OAKLEY: Woo. 778 00:30:30,328 --> 00:30:32,330 DR. DOYLE: So, we do everything we possibly can to 779 00:30:32,413 --> 00:30:33,915 minimize that risk. 780 00:30:33,998 --> 00:30:35,291 Okay. We're going in. 781 00:30:35,375 --> 00:30:36,543 Ready? 782 00:30:36,626 --> 00:30:38,169 DR. OAKLEY: Nice. 783 00:30:38,253 --> 00:30:41,506 DR.

DOYLE (off-screen): You can see how dark the blood is, 791 00:31:00,525 --> 00:31:02,318 and that's because of our tourniquet. 792 00:31:02,402 --> 00:31:03,570 DR. OAKLEY (off-screen): Yeah. 793 00:31:03,653 --> 00:31:05,989 NARRATOR: Because the blood in Zoro's foot can't circulate, 794 00:31:06,072 --> 00:31:09,450 it loses its oxygen and darkens in color. 795 00:31:09,534 --> 00:31:13,371 Once the incision is spread apart with retractors, 796 00:31:13,454 --> 00:31:15,415 they have access to the tendon. 797 00:31:15,498 --> 00:31:16,749 DR.

OAKLEY: So now, we're gonna get basically a little 806 00:31:28,428 --> 00:31:31,139 instrument in there called an osteotome, and a mallet, 807 00:31:31,222 --> 00:31:33,099 and that's basically like a hammer and chisel. 808 00:31:33,182 --> 00:31:34,684 So you're just tryin' to split it right now. 809 00:31:34,767 --> 00:31:38,146 DR.

DOYLE: So it's common for them not to breathe right 910 00:36:10,543 --> 00:36:13,379 after surgery because they've been on a ventilator breathing for them. 911 00:36:13,462 --> 00:36:16,841 But sometimes if you can stimulate them to take a 912 00:36:16,924 --> 00:36:18,467 breath, they'll start breathing, 913 00:36:18,551 --> 00:36:19,760 which is why I jumped on him. 914 00:36:19,844 --> 00:36:21,429 I'm not just mean. 915 00:36:21,512 --> 00:36:24,140 DR.

OAKLEY: They're gonna get out of there pretty quick, 929 00:37:03,137 --> 00:37:05,181 because at any point he could start to get up. 930 00:37:05,264 --> 00:37:06,599 His ear's movin'. Hello. 931 00:37:06,682 --> 00:37:08,351 WOMAN: We're waiting for a new a baby. 932 00:37:08,434 --> 00:37:10,394 DR.
