Dr K's Exotic Animal ER

I absolutely love the show but it's almost distracting how Dr K is completely on edge 100% of the time, is rude to her staff and appears to be on the verge of a total meltdown pretty much all the time. It's becoming difficult to continue to watch the program because Dr K's temper tantrums are pathetic and hard to watch. Her emotional instability is blaringly obvious and bad for the program, bad for the animals, bad for her poor coworkers and bad for her own health. She seriously needs to get a grip and chill the hell out.

I've been an IMDb lurker for at least 10 years, and this is the first show that motivated me to make my first review.

It's a breath of fresh air to see a reality show that is actually smart and realistic. They show the bright and the dark side of being a veterinarian. Nothing is censored or held back... some animals are healed, and some pass. It's exciting, entertaining, educational, and hilarious at times. Dr.K makes some great innuendos that crack me up. I highly recommend this show, and hope that Nat Geo wild continues to air this show for years to come. Air this more frequently and renew this show for more seasons! :)

But don't talk baby talk. Most of the staff do it and it drives me crazy. Why? I didn't even apeak to my own human babies this way. And I certainly have never spoken to my fur babies this way. Maybe it's the only way exotics understand. Rant over!

As a registered vet tech I can tell you this show is what really happens in vet practices on a daily basis. To the people complaining about the vets saying they love the animals, we that have chosen this career can tell you the only reason we do it is for the love of the animals (it sure isn't for the money and most of the time not for the clients, as they can be downright horrific to deal with on some days). As far as showing too many animals dying...well that is the truth about veterinary medicine, we can't save them all, even with our best efforts.

I for one think this is hand down the best veterinary show on TV, they do things correctly (unlike many who have no idea what a sterile surgical field is or do assembly line surgeries). The doctors at this practice are empathetic, good diagnosticians, will search for answers they do not have, seek out specialists when needed and treat their clients (and staff well - not really sure where this person who stated Dr. K treats her staff badly got her info??).

I would work for Dr. K in a heartbeat!!! Can't wait for Dr. T. to get her own show.

Not only do I watch this show, but I re-watch every episode several times. It does not get old or boring. And yes the doctor's may exaggerate and say things to create drama such as, "They can die from that", in my opinion it just adds to the drama. I have learned more about animals and exotic pets in particular, because I watch this show. I love the Dr's and what they stand for. Thank you for making a reality show that makes a difference.
