Season 5 is full of unique cases. Apart from typical dogs and cast, the show will contain some unfamiliar species, including a pregnant ball python, a sick Ilama, and a constipated tortoise. 

In the first episode, titled That's a Morayl, the vets operate on an eel and perform a C-section on a snake. The next episode saw the docs remove record-breaking kidney stones from a dog.

Moving on, Hodges and Ferguson embark on their new "Vet for a Day" national tour. Next, they try to remove an egg from a cockatiel and treat a rescued pigeon with a surprising injury.

In the eighth episode, the vets try to milk an un-milkable goat and attempt to repair a turtle's broken shell.

The docs get up close with venomous snakes, send a diabetic canine on the road to recovery, and help a dog whose face droops. They further work to keep their clinic clean.

Talking more, the Critter Fixer stars lean on their vet skills to save a sick chicken, acclimate some wild bass to a new home, and help a giant schnauzer.
