About
Animal ER follows exotic animals like bighorn sheep, porcupine, falcons, and seals to the more domestic like dogs, cats, and parakeets from the moment their owners rush them into the ER, throughout the diagnosis, surgery, and treatment, up until the moment they go home. With their state of the art surgery suite, complete with 5 operating rooms, Dr. Beale and his team of experts will face critical treatments of all kinds around the clock.
