Derek Hough Spends $8,000 On Emergency Surgery For His Cat Otis During The Holidays

by

As a die-hard Derek Hough fan, I can’t help but feel a rollercoaster of emotions when following his life adventures! From the glamour of Dancing with the Stars to the heartwarming moments of family life, he never fails to keep us entertained and inspired.

Derek Hough, one of the judges on Dancing with the Stars, shared an unexpected and pricey incident involving his cat Otis during the holiday season on Instagram. He disclosed that he spent a significant amount, approximately $8,000, on veterinary care for Otis due to an emergency operation necessary to remove items the inquisitive cat had eaten.

Hough labeled a picture showing a bag full of items from Otis’s stomach: “Here’s what I got for Christmas!” It turned out that the plastic bag containing things Otis ate and needed surgically removed from his stomach amounted to $8,000. Thankfully, he’s fine now!

Due to Otis’s habit of eating inappropriate things, Derek Hough found himself in a tense situation during what was supposed to be a festive holiday season. These items Otis consumed were not meant for consumption and necessitated urgent veterinary care. Fortunately, the treatment saved Otis, but at a significant cost to Hough’s wallet.

Hough’s post garnered sympathy and humorous comments from fans who could relate to dealing with mischievous pets. Despite the stress, Hough’s primary focus was Otis’s health.

During the urgent care of Otis, Hough was simultaneously involved in Dance for the Holidays: The New Tour. Alongside his spouse, Hayley Erbert, they gave an unforgettable performance at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles on December 21st.

As a devoted admirer, I found the occasion exceptionally memorable when none other than Mark Ballas graced us unexpectedly. Hand in hand with Hough, he revived their enchanting Argentine tango – a cherished number initially displayed during the grand finale of Dancing with the Stars’ season 33.

In partnering with Ballas, Hough was not only aiming for an entertaining act on Dancing with the Stars, but also signaling a move towards more inclusivity by subtly introducing the concept of two male dancers on the show. As he explained to Deadline, “Our intention was to gradually introduce the idea of two men dancing together on Dancing with the Stars.

He characterized it as a potential opening that might foster upcoming collaborations in the future. In other words, he said it functioned as an introduction, implying a possibility for future partnerships within the show.
