Dr. T, Lone Star Vet

Unlike another review, I have seen three episodes so far and I have seen no repeated use of material. A lot of exotics that you don't usually get to see on the usual vet shows. Story telling can be a little slow and I would give it a higher rating if they edited it to shorter episodes.

I love Dr T. She isn't afraid to tell the owner of the pet what's wrong and how to fix it.

I enjoy seeing the exotic pets that many vets don't treat, and having seen "Dr T" on the "Doctor K" show I was interested. The animals are still fascinating, and I appreciate the staff telling viewers about the need to be properly prepared before taking on an exotic pet, but after a few episodes "Dr T's" cutey-cute persona starts to grate. The constant baby talk in the too-loud, too-excited voice, the constant response to every new exotic as "Oh, I want one so bad", are bad enough, but then there's her habit? Of making every statement? Sound like a question? When she's explaining to the audience? This is one of the most annoying speech tics I've ever come across. I teach ESL, and I advise my students to watch her show to understand that making everything they say sound like a question will really annoy the examiner when they take their finals, and may count against them. They get it the first time they listen to her.

I think it's very weird that Dr. T is not allowed to perform surgery where she works now but when she worked for Dr. K she was allowed, I thought it was very inappropriate that Dr. Nixon wanted to finish a surgery so that he could take credit for it even though Dr. T started it.

Having watched Dr. Thielen on Dr. K's show, I have always been impressed by her knowledge and care for the animals. In her own show, I have been further impressed by her humor and dedication. I found each episode to be entertaining, moving and educational. I certainly hope there are more episodes to come. I have gone back and watched more Dr. K after watching the first season of this show. She seems to have more knowledge than her age allows, and I am always amazed by how accurate her diagnoses are. I'm a fan!
