I restrained a bichon for a nail trim when I first arrived today.

I performed a nail trim on a greyhound and a pointer mix, the Greyhound was very nervous, but it was fine.

Then there was a break in appointments, so I cleaned the cold sterile containers; they get changed weekly. (See procedures).

Pablo, the lhasa mix, came in for a Lyme quantitative C6 and I restrained him. I also set up the paperwork for it to be sent out.

Bailey the black lab came in to get a hot spot checked out. Dr. Tast had me clip the remains of an old hot spot and scrub it with a combination of Betadine and hydrogen peroxide. Then I applied a very small amount of Dermogen on the spots.

Stella, a whippet cross came in and I performed a nail trim.

To keep busy I did some laundry and helped Sabrina wrap some packs.

Lacey the black lab cross had an Ovariohysterectomy this morning and her owners came to pick her up. I brought her up to the front and cleaned her cage.

Murphy the golden retriever also had an Ovariohysterectomy and went home, and I brought her up and cleaned her cage as well.

Sarah the DSH had a lumpectomy on her head, I put her in her carrier and brought her up front, and then cleaned her cage.

I cleaned a few more cages of other animals that had gone home, and then Sabrina and I did our end of the night duties before the last appointment came in.

The last appointment, Jack the westie, needed a heartworm and Lyme check, so we did a Snap 3DX. I ran the test, which was negative.
