When I arrived today I cleaned the dishes that were in the sink. Then I drew blood for a heartworm test on Tally, a black lab. I also ran the test, which was negative.

Lacey, a shepherd lab mix came in to get sutures removed from her back dewclaw removal. I removed them and they looked fine.

Beau, a golden retriever, came in with a laceration on his left hind leg. The cut was about 2 inches long and triangular. I flushed the wound with about 100 cc of saline, and then pressure wrapped the leg. After we cleaned him up from the bloody mess, we sent him and his owner to Vetscision to be fixed there. We also gave him some Rimadyl for the pain.

Skippy a Brittany cross cracked his nail down the middle. We trimmed all of the nails, including the cracked one as far as we could, and then bandaged it so it wouldn’t get caught on anything.

Shadow, who was in on Friday for not doing so well, came in for fluids. I gave him 200 mls of LRS.

Jaime, a lhasa apso, was in for her annual appointment. I held her while Dr. Tast drew her heartworm test, and then ran the snap 3DX, which was negative.

At this point, things slowed down so I cleaned and did laundry.

Linda and I started our end of night duties while we had some time before the last appointment showed up.

Then Theodore, a yellow lab, came in with a ruptured cyst on the bottom of his foot. I shaved the area, flushed it with saline, cleaned with betadine and then Dr. Tast bandaged it. She also gave an injection of B-Pen. I believe Dr. Tast wants to see Theodore back tomorrow.

We finished vacuuming and mopping, and went home.
