Thanks!
On my very first day at the clinic I didn't do too much, I mostly learned what I had to do when I first got to work and I also figured out what happened for each exam. It was a Wednesday so Whitney was the vet tech. The most interesting thing that occurred was the exam of a cat named Mr. Butterballs.
Mr. Butterballs arrived in a group of three cats and their owners. the first cat to be examined was Samantha, a really fluffy grayish cat. she was in a crate that was across the exam room from the other two, because the other two were, to put it kindly, not fond of her. Samantha was the first cat I ever saw while at the clinic. Once Samantha's exam was over the next cat was examined. The third and final cat was Mr. Butterballs. The other two cats had gone through their examinations quietly, and I expected Mr. Butterballs to do the same. As soon as Doc started to check his ears, Mr. Butterballs started hissing. By the time Doc was going to check his teeth he lunged. Luckily no one got hurt, and that the owners had a towel. Whitney wrapped the towel around Mr. Butterballs using it to keep him in place so that Doc could give him his vaccines without being bitten or having his eyes clawed out.
Another cool thing that happened was the exam of a horse named Sonny. (FYI I am going to tell all about all of the horses that I see because I want to be an Equine vet, and because I love them so.) Sonny's right hind fetlock was swollen, and Doc prescribed antibiotics because he thought that there was an infection. That was the horse experience for my first day. Not very exciting, but oh well, I got to be around a horse!
I will hopefully continue to write up my previous excitements this weekend and i'll add the current ones when they happen. Untill next time or on Mon when something brand new and different has happened, thanks for reading.
