Thanks!
Dogs, dogs, and more dogs. That's most of what I saw on Wed. I saw no cats, and one horse, the rest were dogs who started arriving at three, and didn't stop until 5:15 when I left. Two of the dogs had Arthritis, one was an adorable lab puppy (I will never get a lab) who had waaaaaay too much energy. I'm starting to think that hyperness is a genetic trait in labs that runs quite high. Doc's dog, Red, got an ProHeart6 injection. . . I didn't ask what it did, but I could hazard a guess that it had something to do with his cardiovascular system. I also saw Ginger, a dog who just laid down, gave Whitney her paws and let Whitney trim her nails. Michelle said that she had never seen another dog do that before, and probably never will see that from another dog.
The horse that I saw was named April. She has a condition called a shelved vagina which means that her rectum is more than 4 cm further back than her vagina. So when she poops, guess where it ends up? Doc had to preform a caslicks operation to help prevent contamination of the vagina and to prevent infection. I believe that he stitched up part of the vagina, I was running to get the red book of Equine (horse) Practice because I did not know what a caslicks operation was/did.
I will post Day 2 tomorrow, as it's almost 11 now, i'm sorry for the delay. Until next time,
