What would you do if your beloved pet's life was hanging in the balance?

In this emotionally charged episode, we recount the heart-stopping ordeal our dear science dog, Bunsen, faced when he suddenly showed signs of severe bloat.

From the horrifying moment of recognizing his distress to the frantic rush to the emergency vet, we share the critical importance of swift action in life-threatening situations. Hear about the initial tests, the urgency of further investigation, and how the support from our social media community helped us through these tense moments.

Join us as we navigate the emotional rollercoaster of waiting for Bunsen's life-saving surgery. The night was filled with an incredible mix of anxiety and hope, compounded by an unexpected delay due to another emergency case. We'll also share the heartwarming encounter with a former student, Jennifer, who now works at the clinic and helped provide some solace during this stressful time. The support from our online followers truly underscored Bunsen's special place in many hearts, making the wait both bearable and poignant.

The climax of Bunsen's journey comes with the nerve-wracking surgical procedure where critical decisions had to be made. You'll hear about the successful removal of a massive growth and the immense relief that followed. As we discuss his miraculous recovery and the ongoing concerns about his health, you'll also get a glimpse into how our other pets, Beaker and Bernoulli, reacted to Bunsen's return home.

With heartfelt gratitude, we thank our community and encourage support for local charities, reflecting on the overwhelming love and support we've received. Don't miss this deeply moving episode that highlights the bond between humans and their pets and the incredible impact of community support.
