The Incredible Dr. Pol

On The Incredible Dr. Pol...

Holy. Watch it!

Babies, babies, everywhere.

Now that's a huge monster.

Take him that way.

Does not mean we're gonna get a live calf when it comes out.

And they're all kickin'...

I like that one!

Screamin'...

...and scratchin'!

Jeez, Louise!

Meet Dr. Jan Pol.

He's a local legend

with over

22,000 clients.

And a team that does whatever it takes.

Get the a pig.

You're okay, you're okay,

you're okay.

Hey!

And this

little piggy...

went for a pedicure.

But I can't see you

'cause she's sitting on it.

She's sitting on it now.

Yeah.

I brought Gabby in today

to have her nails done.

The ones in the back are curving.

They're just getting longer

and longer.

The dewclaws in the back are curving into her leg.

Oh.

She is excellent

at letting me handle her feet at home...

But she doesn't like it when you snip on the nails.

Oh, she's alright.

Okay, who's the strong guy?

He is. Okay.

Thank goodness she brought

her son, who is a big guy.

Rather than, you know,

tranquilizing this, pick it up,

hold it around the chest with the feet towards me.

And just hang on and close your ears.

She's pretty spoiled. She thinks she's a person.

She watches TV on the couch...

sleeps in the bed...

she has toys, she plays with the dogs.

Can you hear me?

Yeah.

She's got quite

a following on Facebook.

Gabby's no slacker,

though.

This is some pig.

Gabby has saved my life on multiple occasions.

I have seizures, and she alerts me to seizures.

I know before I get sick, because the pig

will act crazy beforehand.

So, she--she's a working pig.

Now you saw how we do it.

Well, yeah, and see, I tried to do that at home.

No, you need somebody to hold.

- Yeah. - Like him.

And just hold him, just like this around the chest

with the feet sticking out,

and then they just sit there and squeal.

It's hard to find a vet

that will actually work

with them and be good to them.

Oh, look at that.

And once

that doctor's found,

there's no shortage of questions.

Doctor,

she's got really bad dry skin.

Is there anything I can do for that?

What do you feed her?

She's on mini pig pellets.

Not enough oil in there.

Skin looks normal, she's not itching,

so I don't think that it is mange.

So maybe a little bit

more oil in the food,

probably, will do the trick.

Give her a tablespoon a couple times a week

and see if that works.

Okay.

Her only weakness

is she gets five Good & Plenty's before bed

every night, 'cause, like that's her obsession.

They got you trained very well.

She does!

My compliments that she is this thin.

Oh, thank you, thank you.

Because most of them,

they have the food out all of the time,

and the pig just eats... Oh, no.

And is 150 pounds. Oh, no.

This is a pet. You're taking care of her.

Thank you. Yes.

She's my baby. Yeah.

Like, I'd do anything for her.

She's spoiled rotten.

When it comes to pets...

Some think

pigs are perfect.

I dropped the staples.

But Charles' preferences

are fowl.

I want to buy some birds.

Ever since

I was five years old,

we've owned peacocks.

They're pretty to look at,

they have a very unique personality.

I guess you'd have to say we're a bird family.

At one point

we had about 20

to 30 peacocks on our property.

Now we're down to three peacocks left.

Oh, wow. Boy, that white one's a beautiful one.

Well, I'm thinking about getting some--

mainly females.

Boy, this looks like fun.

I'm anxious to go.

Charles heard about

Spicer Ornamental Bird Farm.

So we're going today and see what kind of birds he has.

This is our

chick barn, where we raise all of our peachicks.

We have probably over--

a good, over a good hundred

birds for them to look at today.

Oh, my gosh, that's a pretty one.

That's a black shoulder silver pied.

I like that one!

We've had peacocks for close to 30 years.

They are always running loose,

but we haven't got

much new blood in there.

I'm excited about getting

some new peacocks.

There you go, Diane.

He's showing off for you.

These are beautiful birds.

See the one on the roost?

Yeah. That's just

a black shoulder. Yeah.

And that's a purple

black shoulder.

Whatever.

Yeah.

Alright, so we're gonna get

the two female yearlings, right?

Yes.

Which one

do you like, Mom?

I always like to get new animals.

There's something about

adding new addition to the family.

And you want me to deliver them?

Yes. Okay.

Now, you want to make sure

that you pen them up

for at least a month.

Yes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Or they're gone.

If you took them home today

and set them out free,

you'll never see them again.

That's it? Yep.

Everybody's happy? Everybody's happy.

Good. Everybody's happy.

Thank you.

The peacocks

are picked.

Now Doc and Charles

need to get moving

to construct a coop,

so their new peafowl have a place to call home.

She's like my shadow, she's my girl.

A pregnant Weimaraner

is in for an emergency.

Royal hasn't been here very much.

Though usually healthy,

Royal is showing troubling signs with her pregnancy.
