I stopped watching because he operates as if he has no understanding about germs and transmission of infection - no gloved lancing abcesses, seldom wears a mask &never see him wash his hands. He makes snap diagnoses without touching the animal or barely examining, e.g. "It's a vitamin D deficiency" so the animal gets shot of vitamin D. He's not clairvoyant. So I stopped watching when I started to talk to him through the TV. '
So I decided to give him a second chance & watched the other day. Sure enough a concerned owner arrived with listless ring-tailed lemur. Dr Pol looked at one of his eyes & said it was v. Pale - " I don't know - maybe his iron" . So the lemur got a shot of iron. When the owner left he commented that he didn't feel good about the lemur. NEITHER DID I !. No blood drawn to check values, no stool to check for parasites, no discussion or exam to check for nutritional issues. He did nothing. I wish I could have called the owner about going to a real vet.
He seems to do well with cows so maybe he should stick to that.
I'm considering contacting the Vet Board about him. I know I'm among the very few detractors but I hope people begin to realize that he's not practicing safel.
