Clients

They have the ability to make or break our day. Today, this client made my day by showing her appreciation for our work on her adorable lab yesterday by bringing these into us this morning!

Cute things make 3 am a lot more manageable

Another cute one. The heat lamp made everything orange though.

This is a Nigerian Dwarf goat doe and her first kid. We did a c-section to get the second kid out, but sadly he didn't make it. She is a great mom and did very well caring for her itty bitty kid.

A lost gem...

This was from the skin grafting surgery I helped with last month. I have a huge smile underneath that mask, you just can't tell!

I'm on overnights right now. This week has been a breeze, there haven't been any patients in the hospital since Thursday! Next week will be a bit more brutal though. At least I had a week to prepare...

The cute things in my life

Tomorrow is the last day of large animal surgery!! Except for my weekend shifts and Monday morning treatments of course...

Please excuse the poor quality of my iphone pictures...

Tanzi, the suffering dog who doesn't get enough attention after my 14 hours days

The 7 month old filly, my first equine patient, with a laceration under that bandage

My favorite equine patient, who I got to place 4 sutures in after the surgery had been completed. Isn't she gorgeous?

Skin graft donor site. My first skin staple line. Clearly I'm not a pro at this yet.

The famous pygmy goat, he should be the mascot of the large animal hospital. Check out that adorable underbite he sports!

Just chewing his cud like a boss. (Orange-y due to the heat lamp he lies under)

I have "tails" to tell. They will come, in time.

In short, I've learned a lot in the last month. I even learned that it is okay to not know it all, as long as you still have the desire to continue learning every day. I hope I can remember that 20 years from now.
