Hello again Webkinz Newz readers! It’s Ella McWoof, Kinzville’s resident blogger and I’m here with another special report! We all remember the massive explosion at Goober’s Lab last week, and the strange-colored rain that followed shortly after. Because of these events, it appears that an amazing side effect has affected the citizens of Kinzville—pets are no longer getting sick!
The word on the street was that Dr. Quack had been working with Goober on a secret project before the explosion, so I rushed over to his clinic to get the scoop!
Ella: Dr. Quack, I understand you were working on something with Goober before his lab exploded last week. Can you tell me what it was?
Dr. Quack: Goober and I had created a remedy to help combat the epidemic that was spreading among the citizens of Kinzville. Goober was in the process of mass producing this new remedy when the explosion destroyed everything.
Ella: And yet now you say pets are no longer getting sick. How do you know this?
Dr. Quack: Before the accident, I had a lineup of pets running out the door every day at my clinic. But after the accident, the only pets I see are coming in for their regular checkups. I haven’t seen a single case of a cold or flu in a week!
Ella: But you said everything was destroyed in the explosion. How do you explain this sudden improvement in everyone’s health?
Dr. Quack: Well, you can see these strange-colored clouds in the sky and then there’s this odd-smelling rain… My theory is that the remedy became airborne and this was how it was able to affect everyone.
Ella: So then, what does this mean now? No one in Kinzville will get sick again… ever?
Dr. Quack: We’ll have to wait and see, but yes… that looks like a possibility.
Ella: But then, what does that mean for you and your clinic?
Dr. Quack: I… I actually hadn’t thought about it until just now. I guess I’ll have to see what use Kinzville has for a doctor now that no one is getting sick. At least it looks like I’ll have a lot of time to myself to think about it.
Ella: Thank you for this Dr. Quack. And thank you for everything you’ve done for the citizens of Kinzville over the past 10 years.
Dr. Quack: As always, you and the citizens of Kinzville are very welcome.
What do YOU think about pets no longer getting sick in Webkinz World? And what do you think Dr. Quack should do now? Let me know what you think in the comments below…
If you missed any of this story, you can read Dr. Quack’s Journal archives here.
I respectfully submit the idea that Dr. Quack should take up a new job assisting Arte in The curio shop. They would make the rares of the day available all day instead of just one hour. More chances for us collectors to catch a rare. Making a catalog of the rares available in their themes would be helpful too. Lots for Dr. Quack to do. He could be the Dr. of Collections. He might even have enough time to bring back some of the retired rares during a special collection event.
There is a lot for Debbie Dragon to do too. Come back Debbie!!!!
yah I was wondering what happened to Debbie I came on one day and she was gone
whose debbie
That would be an AWESOME idea ;)
Debbie should come back! Please!
I’ve never met Debbie. :( But the only place I do see her is when she judges beauty pageants in the Webkinz Stadium sometimes.
love your idea’s
What if Dr. Quack assists Ms. Birdy in the Adoption Center? After all, it can’t be easy finding homes for all those Webkinz alone. Besides, I’m sure the good doctor won’t object to working with Ms. Birdy!
That’s A Good Idea, But I Still Think Webkinz Will Continue Getting Sick. >:(
HEY! Fracktail, I thought you left!
I did leave. But then things happened, so now I’m back. And then everything lived happily ever after, the end. (Except not, because I’m still not on the forums. Sorry!)
Ha! Dr Quack’s umbrealla is pink (but still with blue) and sparkly!! LOL!!! :D
Oops!! I mean “umbrella”! lol
He decided to take Topaz’s advice, and get a little more pizzazz in his life. xD
LOL XD
My Pizzazzy Puppy on Webkinz World wants to tell Topaz that she’s totally right!!! XD
Dr. Quack should retire and hold a huge retirement party with all of us with games and of course exclusive prizes to give away. He deserves time to himself after being a loyal doctor all these years. AND this will make room for a new character in town– I really like the idea of a dentist! Dr. Quack could stay in town and hold health fairs every few weeks (sort of like Recess at the Academy) so we could still see him every once and awhile and he could give us tips on healthy eating and exercise.
Dr. Quack can continue to do regular checkups, help kinz with scrapes and boo-boos, eye exams, and dental cleanings, promote healthy exercise and good eating habits. Maybe he can go on a vacation too? Everyone needs a break now and then.
Dr Quack’s going down… He’s yelling Timber! He’s movin, right on outta here! Oh, oh, oh, … He saved Kinzville, now he’s Hero! The Drs Epic, we all love him!
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love that song!!! Oh yeah!!! ***MidnightQueen***
Dr. Quack will still be needed! What if our Webkinz have a broken leg? Or arm? We need you, Dr. Quack! Please stay!
But they will still need checkups, don’t quit Dr. Quack!
Ya, plus wut if a webkinz broke its leg, it’ll need Dr. Quack’s assistants.
“yah or they could get ticks or flees” and I have 2 accounts one has a unicorn she is always getting sick no matter what I do
Maybe Daisy Doe should be a nurse. Maybe Webkinz is going to make an assistant for Dr. Quack. Like a “Nurse Naomi” and she’d be a Mallard Duck or something.
webkinz can break their legs!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO XO
I think CountryKinz17′s just joking! Webkinz can’t break their legs.
Whew!!! Thanks, Gennelle!!! I was a bit worried there…
Webkinz can break their legs? :O NOOOOOOO!!!!!! :(
Interesting. I don’t know what Dr. Quack will really do.
I just hope that he doesn’t close out of business like Debbie Dragon, or ie. “retire”. Even if our webkinz aren’t sick, they still need check ups! I am happy that they are healthy by the rain though! Please keep Dr. Quack, we and our webkinz need ya!(:
It’s good no one’s getting sick anymore, but what about Dr. Quack? :( He can’t retire! Please don’t retire! :(
Oh btw I just got the Love Buggy!!! YAY! :D
if he does retire, he can go to HIPPOAII ( pronounced hippo-ah-ee )
Wow, so the rain did help the pets! That’s great! Although, I’ll be a little sad if pets can never get sick again. It’s not that I like it when my pets get sick, but I want Dr. Quack to still be a doctor and not lose his job. He’s been here a long time, and I still think he should be here for a long time to come and not disappear like Debbie Dragon. So, this is kind of bitter-sweet news to me.
If the pets don’t get sick any more then Dr. Quack should become a dentist, because all my pets except two have teeth. :) and it would be lots of fun to take your pet to the dentist.
Ya, but I think they’d be pretty nervous.
snowbell and snicker still get sick so dr.quack still has some patiences.
my webkinz still get sick to and they don’t go outside much so i think whoever wasn’t outside didn’t get efected
A dentist would be good. It would inspire me even more to feed my pets healthy stuff so they don’t get cavities. I kind of just feed them whatever is in my dock.
That’s a good idea! If something ever happens that he has to stop being a doctor, this would be something good for him to do. ;)
Yes I agree, and I wish Debbie Dragon was back!
Same here. Please come back, Debbie Dragon! :(
It’s going to be weird to never see my pets get sick. I thought it was actually kind of fun for them to get sick and have to go to Dr. Quack’s for medicine and then have the pets excercise and eat healthy stuff. I agree with you, TaffyKitty12. I don’t want Dr. Quack to go out of business. Hey Ganz, could you not have Quack say that the pets need more sleep? I always put my pets to bed and he says the exact same thing every single time! It’s so annoying! :( anyway, good luck Dr. Quack.
I really want Dr. Quack to be a doctor, or maybe a dentist. Oh and his umbrella is sooooo funny! LOL XD
I know right! I keep going on about it LOL!
And I wonder about Daisy Doe……you know, if no one is sick……….NO NEED TO EAT HEALTHY! :D Just saying and joking. :p
Dito, I was going to put that! ;)
I meant Ditto.
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He Should Become A Dentist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, it would be really strange to not have our pets get sick anymore. I’m very glad that all of the sick pets are better, but I will, in a strange way, miss them getting sick. Getting sick is most certainly not good, and I like it when they’re not sick, but I guess I’ll miss going to Dr. Quack’s to make them feel better when they are. He’s a big part of Webkinz just like Ms. Birdy, Tabby, Arte and everyone else, and really would want to see him still being kinzville’s best doctor. I can’t really imagine him doing anything else. I really want him to keep being a doctor. Just like the Adoption Center and the Wish Factory are an important part of Webkinz, well, so is Dr. Quack’s Clinic. I don’t want him to go. Also, I do agree with the sleep thing. Every time I go there for him to give my pet a check up, he always says that. I even went there with my pet that has been in his bed for years, and I got the exact same response. I guess a few years in bed isn’t enough. Well, hopefully Dr. Quack will still stay or at the least, maybe find a new job if he can’t stay as a doctor. Well, best of luck Dr. Quack. I hope you can stay. :’( #PleaseStayDr.Quack
#PleaseStayDr.Quack
#pleasestayDr.Quack
#PleaseStayDr.Quack
Let’s yell it. One two, three! PLEASE STAY DR QUACK! QUACK!
IKR! I used to have a account but sadly lost it, so I made a new one. My pet is fine, doesn’t get sick and is always happy! I didn’t know what was going on till i read this! Also, I think Dr.Quack just has to say ” They need a little more sleep ” but one time i got it saying your webkinz is perfectly healthy xD . Also ( cant remember who said it ) I think Dr.Quack would fit PERFECTLY as a dentist. Im gonna start preparing if it ever comes to that! Good luck to you Mr/Dr.Quack! #PleaseStayDr.Quack!
OMFF! you are so right! cant he just tell it to the pets that to the pets that it needs to be told to and leave it at that!?
ROFL!!!!! Look at Dr. Quacks umbrella!! xD
Yay kind of girly, friend me plz.
He’s hosting a tea party. With SPARKLES….!
You never know it might just be dewdrops :D but besides if he wants to have a pink and purple (possibly sparkly) umbrella there is nothing wrong with that
um, i no longer play Webkinz. i forgot my password ;(
Do you still have a code to one of your webkinz? Then you go to forgot password on the login screen and enter all the info about yourself and 1 of those codes. After that it will log you in and tell you your password.
WHAT it has not stoped my pet keeps geting sick wen i log in whats wrong webkinz people please help i dont like it its so annoying maybe it has the flu?? please tell me in kinz post please syd5404
i try to get my pet sick. its atually kinda fun. too bad i forgot my password.
No no more doctor Quack!/ I am so sad! Uh also my pets will still get sick cause they never go outside. so they were not in the rain.
……Me too. I havn’t been on webkinz when THAT happened. anyway, I was just trying to feed my pet. all her meters were zero and she said, “I Can’t eat foir at least five minutes.” CRAZY! I’ll take her to quacks…
ya that happens to me too. It happens like… EVERY SINGLE TIME! I take my pet to quack and she says she needs sleep. HE SAYS THAT EVERY TIME! EVEN FOR DAILY CHECKUP!!
i hope Dr. Quack is’nt retiring!!!! we’ll all miss him if he does. maybe he could find another career? idk what, tho.
right! my pet’s health keeps going lower and lower. its on 92 at the moment but it says it feels fine.
It is a glitch, it happened to me. Then I went on a different webkinz. then went on the one that was sick and she was healthy again!
But i like Strawberry Shortcake Berry Bitty Adventures better.
Pink and purple for a male duck!!!! ROFL!!!
Hi NMKID4527 just so you know this is Rarity505 this is the account I am using to submitting my webkinz design’s on and I saw your winter cub it is soooooo CUTE I am totally going to vote for it every day :D
Thanks sooooo much Rarity505! I’m glad you liked it. I’m trying to submit a Party Lover dragon but it is getting pretty hard to scan the designs. Anyway, thank you so much!!! :-)
And I’ll be looking for your designs, Rarity. Is it ok if I call you that sometimes? It’s shorter.
yah I know what you mean I can’t get our scanner to work so I take a picture of it with me moms smart phone and then we email it to our computer and submit it that way
“thanks” and sure u can call me Rarity that is what I wanted my account to be but it said that username was taken :)
Thanks Rarity. :)
Thanks for the help, Rarity505! I knew I could count on you! xD
cool “i love my little pony” but never sick,i has to be timper rarey
He’s starting a new trend! Its called the sparkly duckling ROFL!!
DR. QUACK PLEASE DONT CLOSE, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our pets still need a Dr. around for sprained ankles or wellness checks, don’t they? It would be weird to not have a doctor in town! And what ever became of the romance starting between him and Ms Birdy? And what adventures are coming up to the Kinz Kids? I know you must have a bunch of new things coming our way and I thank you for it!!!! but please don’t take our doc away! Thanks 4 listening and Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone!
Oooo, I didn’t know about that! When did he have a romance with Ms. Birdy?
Wasn’t it last year around this time, when Ms. Birdy changed her hairstyle? I thought maybe they would get engaged and married, like Plumpy and Livingston. That was fun, I LOVE weddings and it was fun to follow!
I did not know Plumpy was married!??
yeah I don’t want Dr. Quack to close! my webkinz may not get sick anymore, but what happens if they get hurt or something that I need a Docter for? what will kinzville do then?
Wait your webkinz can get hurt? Whenever I go to Dr. Quack he always says the same thing. Even if I’m sick! Can they get hurt?
I know its late and dr.Qauck is already retired but…I REALLY WANT A DR I WANT MY WEBKINZ GET SICK I WANT TO SEE A DOCTOR IT IS NOT THE SAME …I hope Miss.Birdy dosent retire :( :( :c
Hey countrykinz!
what does ROFL mean…
It stands for Rolling On Floor Laughing
I know, right?!?!
I mean, why does a male duck have a girly umbrella? :o
Because he wants to be a nurse!
hey! boys can be nurses without being girly!!!!!!!
Maybe it’s Ms. Birdy’s umbrella.
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
The world may never know.
he may need to work part time as a doctor, and get an additional job!
I think it’s actually Ella’s umbrella that she has given to him so he’ll stand outside in the rain to do the interview. Also, there’s nothing wrong with wanting something sparkly! ;^)
Oh, ok, so its Ella’s umbrella, huh? Well, I still think Dr. Quack likes it. He always wants a little sparkly in his life LOL!
He’s asking for a sparkly coat for his birthday! xD
RARITY!? I LOVE MY LITTLE PONY!!!!! I HAVE THE MAIN SIX -RARITY FLUTTERSHY TWILIGHT SPARKLE PINKIE PIE RAINBOW DASH APPLEJACK- PLUSHIES!
That makes a lot more sence.
Good for you, Steve. Wow, at all the people making fun of Dr Quack for that umbrella, and in this day and age, too. People (and ducks) should like what they like. However, every time I log in today, my pet meters drop drastically. One, I was on just long enough to spin the Wheel of Wow an extra time, and everything drained to zero. That’s a Deluxe account, so I took Fenris to the spa, forked out $480, and NOTHING CHANGED, although it certainly happily took my kinzcash!!! On another account , the drop was bad but not so dramatic; I unpacked the dock and tried to feed the pet, but he told me he was full, and could not eat — in spite of his levels all dropping to 80 within a minute or so or logging in. So something is not cured.
Me too! I was working on decorating one of my outdoor rooms when I had to go, so I just dragged a tent bed into the yard and put my pet in it yesterday. Then today I log in and all of the meters were down to 0! I gave it one food and it jumped the happiness and hunger all the way up to 100%, but the health is still 0. I took him to Dr. Quack and he just said he needed more sleep like he always does if your pet is completely healthy.
Op it just jumped to 99%. Maybe it just hadn’t loaded right for a few minutes?
The same thing happened to me! I gave my Webkinz a bath and my health and happiness meter went up to one hundred! :) So give your Webkinz a bath because it worked for me! :)
Yes!!!!!!!! I’m so glad I’m not the only one with the happiness, health, and hunger meters dropping! ~ Hug a Pug~
Me too! I thought that I wasn’t feeding Lisa enough, but as soon as I fed her, the meters went back to 100!
Yea it’s really weird that glitch. Plus it annoys my “OCD” (i dont actully have it). Also the only way for it to go back to green is if the pet looses like one percent of anything. At least on mobile it stays with the bars correct.
I already told everyone, I’m not trying to make fun of him, or be mean to him in anyway. Sorry about all of this, I’m just one of those people that luv making funny jokes. But just so you know, I respect Dr. Quack, and I really hope he doesn’t leave. And ya, this is why I keep my pets happiness, health, and hunger to 100%. Because yes, I have heard some rumors about wut happens when its dropped all the way down to 0%.
My pet for the last… I don’t know maybe a week has looked sad in the portrait when I log in then sometimes after I feed her she looks happy again. Also my pet’s levels of health, happiness, and hunger went to 99% and she wasn’t hungry or anything. And for a random thing (I probably should have posted this earlier) for quite a while now there’s been a mistletoe mouse giftbox that is in my inventory even though I don’t have a mistletoe mouse and I can’t open it or get rid of it.
I sort of have the same thing. But, it’s whenever I sell items in the WShop. Like it has the modern theme in my thingi (yes i forgot what its called, its were your items are), and I cant do anything with it it just stays there.
All my meters are down to zeros when I first log in, but then I feed it and do something to make it happy, like a bath, and they go back to normal .~. I’m confused and extremely annoyed. Also, even if pets don’t get sick anymore (even though I think that’s not the greatest idea), they can’t just GET RID of Doctor Quack! I ship him and Miss Birdy!!!!! Maybe he could open a vitamin shop? It’d be cool to have different vitamins that do different things, like help happiness or hunger or health separately. Or maybe he could open a relaxation spa type thing in the Club House? I just hope they don’t play on dropping him all together :( ( ATTENTION ALL BRONIES AND/OR PEGASISTERS: Add me on Webkinz World, my username is Iva44 :D ) ~Iva *brohoof* /)*(\
This has nothing to do with pink umbrellas but I just want to say thank you GANZ for bringing Goober into the limelight again! I’m sure everyone knows this by now but Goober is my favorite Webkinz character of all diddly-dang time and I’m really happy that the majestic genius is getting some love. Dr. Quack, too; we haven’t heard from him in a while, so it’s nice that he got his own story arc this time around. I love it when characters get story arcs of their own! :D
Haha Dr. Quack! shouldn’t Ella have an umbrella too?
that IS Ellas umbrella
I don’t think those are sparkles on Dr. Quack’s umbrella. I think they are raindrops. All of my pets’ levels dropped to zero also, but I logged out, logged back in, and they returned to 100%. As far as Dr. Quack leaving, I’m pretty sure the “health rain” is going to wear off and pets will once again get sick every now and then. I don’t believe for a minute we’ll lose Dr. Quack.
Hey Zeph317, good to see you on here again! It’s been awhile – I used to post as Catkin. I don’t believe they’re going to retire Dr Quack either, & I really don’t give a fig what his umbrella looks like!
Whoo-hoo, Catkin, aka 1Emerald1! I remember your cat sign and loved reading your posts. You were funny, insightful, and full to the brim with common sense. I agree about his (or Ella’s) umbrella. I hadn’t even noticed it until I read comments about it.
>^..^< !!!!
Thank you, Zeph317, & back at you! It’s great to speak with you again.
I don’t follow very many of the News Blogs and don’t comment very often, but I have been following Dr. Quack’s journal and story. From now on I’ll be looking for your comments. What a nice “reunion”.
Indeed! I’ll be looking forward to your comments, too. >^..^<
That’s what happened to my pets too!I think Dr.Quack should stay.Pets could get hurt and need him
how did you write in purple?
I don’t think those are sparkles on the umbrella. I think they are raindrops. I also believe whatever is in the rain-remedy will wear off and the citizens of Kinzville will once again need Dr. Quack’s services from time to time. No town should be without medical help and Dr. Quack provides the best.
Why is your comment blue?
Sorry if I keep making jokes about this. I’m not trying to make fun of our beloved Dr. Quack, I just thought this was funny to see. #PrincessQuack xD
You just won’t stop CountryKinz! You are so funny! XD
I just noticed his umbrella! It’s so funny! I never knew Dr. Quack liked pink and sparkly things! Either Alyssa accidently dropped some pixie dust on him, or he’s just that way. I’m going with that he just likes pink and sparkly things. lol! It probably is Ella’s umbrella, or is it? o<l ;) Party smiley! o<I ;)
Haha! Cute party hat smileys. o<I ;)
Thanks! o<I ;)
Thanks, your funny, too! xD
Yep, I thought this would happen. Creepy and weird, by the way. Plus, it didn’t even rain around my Webkinz house, AND my pets stayed inside, PLUS houses have air filters. So, do Webkinz never get injuries?? I mean, come on, illness isn’t the only thing doctors are for. And, that doesn’t insure physical health, maybe Webkinz aren’t eating right, or their lifestyle isn’t very healthy. I don’t think we need to get rid of more Webkinz Hosts. >:( (Pouty face)
It is kind of weird…I think that getting sick kind of “humanizes” the Webkinz, for lack of a better word, and motivates us to care for them even more. Now they’re nigh-invincible; they might as well just be robots. (I mean, technically yeah, they are virtual, but they’re supposed to be like pets.)
You tell them, Pokekinz! xD
I think it’s great doctor quack is moving on but do wish he would stay:( Rarity um I used to be your friend so will yoube my friend again pleeeeeeeease.
lol just noticed lol
Ooh, that sky is so pretty!!! Wait…ELLA!!! YOUR MICROPHONE WILL GET WET!!!! Well, maybe that umbrella Dr. Quack has is hers and she didn’t want his doctor jacket or his glasses to get wet. He might scare patients if he was soaked. :(
Thank you for noticing, and have a wonderful day LOL!
Ok, maybe the clinic IS getting shut down! Darn! Well, considering he is smart, here are my ideas for what he should if he goes out of a job: join Goober, since they work well it seems; open his clinic as an emergency hospital, since accidents can still happen; or maybe just start his very own business, maybe a passion he has other than being a doctor. :)
I hope they keep the clinic open. #Don’tSackTheQuack!
Okay, everyone’s talking about Dr. Quack but did anyone notice that Goober just accidentally gave everyone superpowers??? He literally just made everyone immune to every illness in the world WITHOUT EVEN TRYING. Someone please give this majestic genius a gold sticker.
“gives goober a gold star”
If no pet is sick in kinzville I think Dr.Quack shood run a shop.
I’m glad none of the pets are getting sick anymore, but what about other sicknesses? This epidemic can’t possibly cure every sickness in Webkinz world, can it? Something new may spread… I think doctor Quack should keep his clinic open, as many people still like to go for regular checkups.
Aww I hope Dr. Quack isn’t leaving! Hey like CountryKinz said, at least he still has that radiant umbrella! ~Woods looks over to umbrella~ “AHHH! It is sooo bright!!!”~ ~blinded by the lightness~
xD You pay attention to so little, My friend! ;o
I have a few accounts and on all but one the scores for health happiness and hunger are 0. On the other the scores are very low and my pet is very sick. My sister has the same problem.
who knows what the warriors series are
I hope that Dr.Quack doesn’t go out of business , I would miss him, he has done so much for my pet. I can’t thank him enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait is Dr.Quack married to Ms. Birdy???????????!!!!!!!!!!!
I think so. did any one notice that when u go the Adoption Center mr.s birdy’s arms are like partly black? is she a penguin???
What does ROFL mean? Thanks!
Roll on the floor :)
ROFL mean “Rolling On the Floor Laughing”, as if something was that hilarious.
He’s starting a new trend xD
Ya, that’s funny! but when i log on my webkinz, like, the smile, the heart and the fork are all 0′s. does anyone know why???
