When I arrived at the hospital, Dr. Tast needed help with a Heart Worm/ Lyme test on Bella the border collie. I drew the blood and ran the Snap 3DX, which was negative.
Then I did a load of laundry and cleaned up the treatment area.
Taz, the DLH cat, was in for the day for vomiting. She is Dr. Hartman’s cat and had radiograph’s taken earlier in the day. Dr. Tast who was the doctor there today had me give ½ cc of Reglan; or metaclopromide; SQ.
Next I cleaned some of the cages from animals that had gone home before I arrived and restocked a few things around the hospital; like the Sodium Chloride fluid bag and a jar that has bandage material.
I filled a prescription of Baytril for Dr. Tast.
Tracy, one of the technicians, was on vacation last week and brought her dog in to be trimmed up. So I helped hold him, Scruffy, while she trimmed his hair so he could see again.
Shumbai the samoyed came in for an appointment and needed a Heartworm/ Lyme test. I drew the blood and ran a Snap 3DX which came up slightly positive for Lyme disease most likely due to a previous infection. Dr. Tast did call them to come back for a Quantitative C6 test however.
There were not a lot of appointments today, so I spent a lot of time cleaning. I cleaned the outside of the tub sink and the microwave stand that holds mugs and plates and I wiped down all of the counters until there was nothing left to clean because it was already cleaned. Then I got the mop bucket ready for the end of night duties (see procedures).
I gave Taz 100 mL of Lactated Ringers Solution SQ.
Then there was nothing to do for a bit so I talked to Tracy about the VTNE.
The last appointment finally came and I helped Dr. Tast give an old Siamese cat fluids and a shot of Penicillin.
We did our end of night duties and left.
*I found out that Dr. Hartman did a necropsy on Bridget and found a very large tumor wrapped in her intestines. We had suspected that that might be a reason, but we were not sure until after the necropsy.
