When I arrived, I cleaned and restocked the treatment area. Then, Linda showed me the radiographs of her ferret. She had boarded them over the weekend and when she came back to work today, she found one of them had a huge bump on his head hat he did not have before hand. So they had taken radiographs and tried to aspirate it. The radiograph’s were interesting because over the ferret’s right eye was a fairly large circle of dense white mass of some kind. Dr. Tast had no idea what it could have been and decided to put him on anti-inflammatory medication. She did not know exactly what to put him on, so she is going to do research tonight to figure it out.

Lucky the bichon came in for a heartworm test. I restrained him for Dr. Tast and then ran the test, which was negative.

I filled a few prescriptions of Keflex and Temeril-P.

Someone dropped off a fecal for their cat, Tara, I set it up and read it, and it was negative.

Tracy had set up a fecal before I got there that needed to be read, so I read that one as well, it was also negative.

Sadie the golden retriever needed a heartworm and Lyme test; I restrained for Dr. Tast and ran a Snap 3DX which was negative.

Daisy, another golden retriever, was a little scared in the exam room, so Dr. Tast brought her back for her kennel cough vaccine and her heartworm test. I gave her the kennel cough and attempted to draw the blood for the test. However, I could not, and Tracy got the blood. I ran the Snap 3DX which came out negative.

A client came in to drop off two fecals for her two kittens since one of them had diarrhea. I set up and read both fecals, they were both negative.

Then I filled a few more prescriptions.

The last thing I did today was help Linda show Jenny’s; the DSH cat from Friday; owners how to give subcutaneous fluids.

Then we did our end of night duties and went home.
