It's business as usual at Dr. K's exotic animal E.R., until a stressed out Eurasian lynx is brought in for over-grooming and not eating. Dr. K suspects a large hairball to be at the root of the problem, and contemplates emergency surgery on the large cat. Dr. Thielen sees two emergency cases of her own, including a ball python that was brutally attacked by a feeder rat, and a rescued cockatiel that is in distress, trying to lay an egg. A lame baby chicken gets a new lease on life, while a recently neutered pot-bellied pig continues to heal and hopefully get rid of his "boy juices" smell.
