1. 2x castrates. One very small set and one average set whipped off (closed technique) and scrotum glued.
2. GA and xray on a terrier with a sore toe. Not broken, but some DJD in the interphalangeal joints.
3. Lipoma removal and spay op on an older dog. Uterus iffy and ovaries all polycystic so better out than in. Lipoma shelled out nicely. I had scrubbed in because we weren't sure what they spay would be like and got to practise my sewing. It was very neat and getting less cack-handed each attempt.
4. Cat spay for charity. Very quick and neat. Flank entry.
5. Ultrasound exam on canine abdomen looking at the liver. Enlarged.
-Brief interlude for clearing up, hoovering, mopping and lunch-
Consults included:
- Vaccinations
- Re-examination and vaccinations
- Rabbit exam and myxi vaccinations. Also toe clip. Good refresher of how to restrain, exam and vaccinate wabbits.
- Stitch removal for a castrate op.
- Bloods for a doggie with endocrine disease.
- Toe clip for an ancient doggie.
-Afternoon gap for 30minutes (brightened by the introduction of doughnuts)-
- Ear exam and cleaning for a boxer
- Re-exam for lameness
- Ophthalmic re-exam following ulcer therapy
- Unwell and lameness exam
- Stitch removal for lump excisions
- Anal furunculosis re-exam.
- Pregnancy ultrasound. No puppies :-(
I've probably forgotten some, but the small animal consults go so quick that a few slip out of my mind. It was a really good day for learning; the practice I go to are just fabulous at letting me get involved. Definitely a challenge getting my head into small-animal gear though!
