Can a Yukon veterinarian solve a poultry mystery?
When a hen stops laying eggs, Dr. Michelle Oakley must investigate. This video follows the unique challenges faced by the Yukon's only all-species veterinarian as she manages animal health in a remote, frozen landscape.
Dr. Michelle Oakley operates as the sole veterinarian for hundreds of miles in the Yukon. Her work spans a vast range of species and environments, from performing surgery on bears and wrestling bison to tracking ibex in the mountains. This particular episode focuses on a domestic mystery: investigating why one of Aimie's hens has ceased egg production.
The footage highlights the extreme nature of her practice, which includes braving frozen landscapes to facilitate the release of lynx back into the wild. It showcases the dedication required to keep diverse animals safe and healthy in one of the world's most challenging territories.
