Hello there. Today on Sesame Street,
we're gonna find out all about veterinarians.
- That's an animal doctor! - ( barking )
That's me.
Excuse me?
Oh, I'm an animal, and I'm a doctor. See?
Actually I'm playing a dog-tor, get it?
- Dog-tor? ( laughs ) - ( chuckles )
I'm sorry, but a veterinarian
is not an animal who's a doctor.
It's a doctor who takes care of animals.
Ohh.
So find out more about veterinarians
today on Sesame Street.

Kids: Sesame Street!
( sighs ) Oh, hey.
Welcome to Sesame Street, I guess.
Something's up with Slimey. Come on, Slimey.
Don't you want to make mud castles?
You love that.
( Slimey moans )
( giggles ) Oh, yeah.
- Oh, hi, Oscar. - Hey, Slimey.
Que pasas? Is something wrong?
Yeah, Slimey's acting strange today.
He won't play in the mud
or with his favorite computer game.
Even his voice sounds different.
( coughing and wheezing )
Nina: Well, maybe he's not feeling so well, Oscar.
Yeah, maybe I better call his veterinarian.
Uh, veta-what-now?
- A veterinarian. - ( phone calling )
That's the doctor that takes care of animals.
Grouch: Hello? Dr. Birdwhistle?
Yeah, my pet worm Slimey doesn't feel all that well.
I was wondering if you could--
( tires screeching and sirens wailing )
Dr. Birdwhistle?
Wow. That was fast.
When there's a pet in need,
Birdwhistle is there at full speed.
( Slimey whines )
Hello, Slimey.
Let's take a look at you and see what's up.
So this is the, uh--
A veterinarian, yes-- or sometimes just called a vet.
Uh-huh, and the first thing vets do is to find out
what the problem is.
I can tell you what the problem is, Doc.
Slimey hasn't acted like himself.
Right. Well, then the next thing all doctors do
is examine the patient.
And to do that, we use our eyes,
our ears, and our hands.
How do you mean?
I'll show you.
First I'll use my eyes
to check that everything looks OK.
All right.
Can you open your mouth for me
as wide as possible, Slimey.
Mm-hmm. It's red up in there.
Now I'm going to use my ears,
and I'm going to listen to your heart
with my stethoscope.
Doctor: Let's hear. Uh-huh.
Mm-hmm.
Now I'm gonna use my hands and figure out
if there's anything else on you that's sore or achy.
- OK? OK, oh. - ( Slimey whimpering )
Well, I know your throat's soar,
and I think I have just the thing.
Give him a spoonful of this worm intestine every four hours,
and he'll be fine by tomorrow.
As much as I dislike bein' nice and thankin' anyone,
what you did was all right, doc.
I'll be back, Slimey. Just gonna get a spoon.
Well, happy to help. Anytime, Oscar.
I guess my work is done here, guys.
Oh, does Dr. Birdwhistle take care
of all kinds of animals?
Not all kinds, Elmo. See, I'm a pet vet.
I take care of dogs, cats, birds, turtles-- even geckos.
There are other vets who take care of farm animals,
like goats and horses,
and some who work with zoo animals.
Oh, well, Elmo wants to be a pet veterinarian.
Ooh, and I wanna be a veterinarian
that takes care of farm animals.
You mean when you grow up, right?
- No! Right now! ( chuckles ) - Yeah. Come on, Elmo.
- Let's plan the play. - Yeah.
- Bye, Nina. - Bye. Bye, Nina.
Bye.

OK... ta-da!
Abby: Wow! Great sign, Pet Veterinarian Elmo.
Thank you.
Oh, yours is cool, too, Farm Veterinarian Abby.
( giggles ) Thanks, Elmo.
Wow! I can see I've got some competition.
- ( all laughing ) - ( alarm beeps )
- Uh-oh. - Elmo: Hmm?
- A parakeet with a sneeze? - Elmo: Oh.
- He goes, "tweet-choo!" - ( Elmo and Abby giggle )
"Tweet-choo."
Hey. I gotta zip, you two. Bye.
Elmo and Abby: Bye, Dr. Birdwhistle.
( giggles) OK. Pet Vet Elmo is ready for his first patient.
Now, let's see here. Um, oh, OK.
Bunnytina. Hi, Bunnytina.
What seems to be the problem?
( imitates Bunnytina coughing )
Boy, that is quite a cough.
Oh, but don't worry.
Dr. Elmo is here to help Bunnytina.
OK, now take a seat, Bunnytina.
Go right there. You comfortable?
OK. Good. ( giggles )
First Dr. Elmo will use his eyes
to look into Bunnytina's throat.
Ah. OK. Now Elmo's just gonna look in your throat.
Yeah, looks pretty red.
Um, OK. Now Dr. Elmo
will listen to Bunny's heart.
OK. ( imitates heart pulsating )
Oh! The heart sounds happy!
( chuckles ) Now Dr. Elmo will use his hands
to feel Bunnytina's throat.
OK, let's see here. Yep, yep.
Bunnytina's throat feels a little bit puffy
and a little fluffy, too. ( giggles )
Dr. Elmo knows what the problem is, Bunnytina.
You have... the hopping cough.
Don't worry. It's OK.
Here. Just take this medicine
before you go to bed tonight,
and you'll feel better in the morning.
Phew! Boy, ( chuckles )
You pet vets take care of
such cute little critters,
( giggles ) but us farm veterinarians
take care of the big animals.
Oh, hello there, Mrs. Sheep.
What seems to be the problem?
( imitating Mrs. Sheep ) Boo.
A sheep that "boos" instead of "baas"?
Farm Vet Abby will use her eyes to look into your throat, OK?
Abby: Open up your mouth and say, "baah."
( imitating sheep ) Boo.
Just as I thought.
You have boo-litis.
Abby: ( imitates sheep )
And there's just one way to cure that.
And that is by dancing...
the merengue. ( giggles )
Did she say merengue?
Music, please.
( merengue music playing )
You see, taking care of farm animals
is much harder work.
- Oh, you think so? - Yes.
OK.
( humming )
( whistles )
- Come here, Clyde. - ( barking )
See, Abby?
Pet vets take care of bigger animals, too.
Oh, Clyde, Clyde... pretend that something's wrong.
Oh! Gotcha. ( clears throat )
( barking woefully )
Oh, what seems to be the problem, Patient Clyde?
It is my tail! It will not wag.
( grunting )
- See? ( sighs ) - Oh, no.
It looks like Clyde has--
( ominously ) Da, da, da--
- Waggle-itis. - ( gasps )
( grunts ) OK, ahh.
( imitating Mrs. Sheep ) Baa!
There! The merengue cured your boo-itis!
( laughs nervously )
Dr. Elmo needs to touch Clyde's nose
- to see if Clyde is healthy. - ( giggles )
( giggles ) Your waggle-itis is cured!
( gasps ) Thanks, Pet Vet Elmo!
( laughs )
Now that's big!
( chuckles ) You call that a big patient?
- Mm-hmm. - Wait till you see my next one.
( clears throat )
Fibbity-bobbity-batient. Send in the next farm patient!
Zippity-zap!
Ha-ha!
- Wha-- Gladys the Cow? - Mm-hmm.
Yes. I tried to jump over the moon,
and sprained my hoof upon re-entry.
- ( gasps ) You poor thing. - Wha--
Don't you worry. Dr. Abby is here to help you.
- Thank you. - Um, OK. OK.
- You think Gladys is big? - And proud of it.
Well, of course. Wait till you see this. ( chuckles )
( clears throat )
- OK. Hold still. - Yes.
- I'll just bandage this. - Thank you.
OK. Come on, Snuffy. Right over here.
- ( chuckles ) - Right over there. ( giggles )
- Elmo-- - Snuffy!
Pretty big, huh?
Just pretend that something's wrong, too.
- OK. I love pretending. - Yeah!
Uh, let's see. Um, oh dear!
My, uh, snuffle is all stuffy.
Oh, OK. Well, Elmo will take care of that right away.
Let's see here. OK. Let's look at the problem.
Oh, uh, and my tail-- my tail is very itchy.
Um, OK. Sure. No problem.
No problem. Elmo will take care of that right away.
Let's see here... ( grunting )
This is heavy! ( grunts )
And my back is achy.
- Your back? - Yeah, my back.
Um, hey, Farm Vet Abby?
Um, do you think that maybe you can
help Pet Vet Elmo with Patient Snuffy?
With pleasure.
( giggles ) It'll be fun to work together.
Yeah! OK. Elmo's gonna
- scratch Snuffy's tail, OK? - OK.
- Let's see that snuffle. - Scratch, scratch, scratch.
Let's see here. Hmm. OK.
( airplane whirring )
Do you remember when Elmo and his friends played today?
Ta-da! Veterinarian!
Hello, there, Mrs. Sheep.
What seems to be the problem?
( imitating Mrs. Sheep) Boo.
You be the veterinarian, and I'll be the dog's owner.
Hi, Dr. Jefferson. We're here for Bertie's checkup.
I'm gonna check Bertie's heartbeat with my stethoscope.
Sounds good, Bertie.
Bertie's in perfect health.
Now she can go play.
Thank you, doctor.
You can pretend to be a veterinarian, too.
And have fun!
( giggles )

Kid: "V" is for veterinarian.
A veterinarian is a doctor who takes care of animals
to keep them happy and healthy.
In this clinic,
the veterinarian takes care of cats, dogs,
snakes, and all kinds of pets.
And he gets a lot of help from the people that work here.
- Male client: Morning. - Female client: Good morning.
Kid: The receptionist greets patients
when they arrive at the office.
- Good morning. - ( phone rings )
Hello. Veterinary hospital.
Kid: She also answers phone calls
- and makes appointments. - Hi, Sal.
Kid: The veterinary assistant helps him with the animals.
( panting )
Kid: The veterinarian examines pets
to make sure they're healthy.
Client: So what do you think, doctor?
I think he looks great.
Vet: How about a little more exercise and fewer treats?
We use this machine to look inside Chaplin.
Kid: He has to look carefully because pets can't say
if they're not feeling well.
- Jonesy for his appointment. - ( chuckles ) Hello, Jonesy.
Vet: Let's get your weight, Jonesy.
This right here is Blossom.
- She's beautiful. - Thank you.
Open up big, Kai. Good boy.
So we'll show you how to brush Kai's teeth.
Up and down, up and down.
We're gonna put a bandage on Pippa because she hurt her paw.
Vet 2: Good girl.
Kid: Veterinarians keep pets and their owners happy.

With me! Rudy!
( giggles )
Hi, I'm Abby. This is my room, and this is my brother, Rudy.
( imitating an elephant )
Uh, Rudy? What's up with your arm?
It's not my arm.
It's my elephant trunk.
Oh. Does that mean you're an elephant?
( imitates an elephant )
That's "yes" in Elephant.
( both imitating elephants )
I'm coming! Whoo! Ha ha!
( grunts ) And I'm here.
Yay! Hiya, basket!
We're ready. We're ready.
I have something really exciting for you today.
What could it be? Count with me.
Abby and Rudy: One, two, three!
Abby: ( gasps ) A stethoscope.
Yeah! Hey, what's that again?
A stethoscope is a tool.
Doctors use them to listen
to your heart and lungs.
( gasps ) Do we get to be doctors?
- Yes. - Aww. I wanted to see animals.
Great! You can be veterinarians.
A special kind of doctor who takes care of animals.
Can we take care of an elephant?
Sure! Just grab onto my handles,
and we'll go on a veterinarian mission.
All: Hidy-ho. Off we go.
( elephants trumpeting )
It's like a magical elephant wonderland!
Where are we?
It's a sanctuary where elephants live in a safe, natural habitat.
And your job as veterinarians
is to give this baby elephant a checkup.
( trumpeting )
One elephant checkup coming right up.
Ready, Veterinarian Rudy?
Ready, Veterinarian Abby.
Uh, one problem. Where's the elephant?
There he is.
- Come on over-- Whoa! - ( trumpets )
Um, I think that's elephant for "no."
I think he might be nervous.
Yeah. Sometimes I feel nervous when I see the doctor, too.
Part of a vet's job is helping animals
feel more comfortable when they get a checkup.
Gotcha! Hey there, friend.
- You're OK. - Yeah.
We'll take good care of you.
( trumpets happily )
Yay, elephant.
Very good, veterinarians.
Now it's time
to examine your patient.
Looks like an elephant to me.
( giggles ) Basket means we need to listen
and look carefully at the elephant
to make sure he's growing and healthy.
I'll use the stethoscope to listen
to the elephant's heart.
- ( chuckles ) - ( drum beating )
- ( symbols crash ) - Whoa!
That was louder than I thought.
I guess elephants have real big hearts.
His sounds healthy.
What do we check next?
What else does your doctor look at when you get a checkup?
Hmm. She looks in my eyes with the little light thingy.
That's called an ophthalmoscope.
One ophthalmoscope coming up. Zippity-zap!
Eyes look sparkly.
What else does your doctor look at?
( yawns )
Hmm. She looks in my mouth.
For that, you need a different tool:
An otoscope.
Good idea. One otoscope coming up.
Zippity-zap.
Open wide, please.
- Ahh. - ( humming )
I wish I could fly up there
to help with the checkup.
- Whoa-- - Aww.
The elephant's helping you take care of him.
Here. Look in his ears.
( echoing ) Whoa! Looks good in here.
- Uh-huh. - ( trumpets )
Great job, veterinarians. You did the whole checkup.
( trumpets )
And you were a very good patient.
Both: Secret handshake.
Both: Up high, down low. Yay, we did it. Way to go!
Time to go home.
( all cheering )
Best adventure (sing-song ) ever!
Well, I gotta fly, so this basket says bye.
( laughs, grunts )
Both: Bye, basket.
Here's a job for you. Pretend to be a veterinarian.
And give one of your toys or stuffed animals a checkup.
( imitates an elephant )
Both: See ya next time.

( chuckles ) Hi. Welcome to Elmo's World!
Guess what Elmo is wondering about today.
Wait for it. Wait for it.
Oh! A dog walker.
Oh, look.
Grover is walking the doggies.
Wow. Look's like the doggies
are walking Grover. ( giggles )
Boy, Elmo wants to learn more about dog walkers.
Oh, let's ask Elmo's friend Smartie.
Let's call her together.
Elmo and kids: Oh, Smartie!
( barking melodically to Elmo's theme )
Oh, look! A doggie!
- Hi, doggie. - No, no. Elmo, it's me!
- Smartie! - Wha--
I'm just pretending
to be a dog.
- ( barking ) - ( laughing )
That's perfect, Smartie!
Because Elmo wants to learn more about dog walkers.
Well, what do we do to learn something new?
We look it up.
Getting a lead on dog walkers.
Here we go.
Dog walkers are people who walk dogs when a dog owner can't.
Dog walkers make sure the dogs get their exercise.
Some dog walkers walk one dog at a time,
and others walk lots of dogs.
Dog walkers know a lot about dogs.
And sometimes they take them to a dog park
where they can play with other dogs.
( giggles ) Look at all those doggies.
Wow! Dog walkers are really helpful!
You betcha!
Well, gotta go, Elmo. It's time for my walk.
( chuckles ) Thank you, Smartie.
Bye-bye. Boy, dog parks look like a lot of fun.
Hey! That gives Elmo an idea.
Let's play a game together.
Yeah. Come on, come on. ( giggles )
( giggles ) Oh, it's time for the doggies to go home.
Let's see if we can find them all.
Are you ready?
Let's play!
Now, where could a doggie be hiding?
Kids: Behind the tree!
Girl: Look behind the tree.
Elmo: Yay! Yes! It's a poodle.
OK. That's one doggie.
Are there any more?
Oh! Could it be up here?
Kids: ( giggling )
Girl: Doggies don't climb trees.
That's a cat!
Oh! How about here?
Elmo: Yay! We did it!
Bye-bye, doggies.
Aww. Elmo loves doggies.
Oh, and that makes Elmo wonder even more.
Does Mr. Noodle walk his poodle, Schmoodle?
( giggles ) Come on. Let's ask him.
Hey, Mr. Noodle!
Oh! It's Mr. Noodle's brother,
Mr. Noodle.
Hi, Mr. Noodle.
Mr. Noodle, do you walk your doggie?
You do? Show us how, Mr. Noodle!
Kids: Yeah.
Kid 1: Show us how!
Kid 2: You're not walking the dog!
Elmo: Schmoodle is walking you!
Mr. Noodle! OK, OK.
Elmo will give you a hint, OK?
The leash needs to be on Schmoodle.
Whoa! ( giggles )
Oh, that's better...
Wait a minute, wait a minute--
Hold the phone.
That is not right.
Kid 1: Schmoodle's not walking.
Kid 2: He's sitting!
Elmo: You're getting exercise, Mr. Noodle.
Not Schmoodle.
Oh, boy. Try again, Mr. Noodle. Whoa!
- ( barking ) - That's right, Mr. Noodle.
Good job!
( chuckles ) Bye, Mr. Noodle.
Boy, learning new things makes Elmo so happy,
it makes him want to dance. Come on!
