I restrained for and ran a heartworm test on Molly and Rosie, both westies. Molly was positive for Lyme and Rosie was negative.

Then I cleaned a surgery pack and wrapped it to be autoclaved.

Cleo, a sick grey and white DSH cat, vomited and had diarrhea in her cage, so I cleaned her and the cage up.

I then gave 2 cc of Buprenex IM to Laila, a golden retriever who had a vulva tuck today. I also gave 0.6 cc of Buprenex IM to Buddy, a lhasa apso cross who had ACL surgery and a dental.

Quintin, a sheltie, came in because he got his penis stuck in a fence. It was very swollen, but no puncture wounds. We shaved the area to make sure, and then I gave Rimadyl SQ for the pain.

I cleaned Leo’s, a lhasa apso, ears with ADL (see procedures). The left one was completely closed with debris. I plucked most of the debris and hair out first, and then cleaned them.

Then I cleaned the cold sterile packs (see procedures) as well as the endotracheal tubes (see procedures).

Sammy, the golden retriever, had surgery a week ago and came to have her sutures out. There were a few sutures on her nose, and some staples on the back of her neck. I restrained her while Sabrina took them out.

I filled a Keflex prescription for Dr. Tast.

I then cleaned Buddy up to go home; he had peed in his cage right before his owners came so we cleaned up his tail and leg.

Then I cleaned some cages of animals that had just gone home.

I gave Cleo 0.38 ml of Baytril IM.

I drew blood from Sandy, a bichon, for a heartworm/Lyme test. I also ran the test, which was negative. Then I gave her a kennel cough vaccine intranasally.

I set up and read a fecal on Brody, a golden doodle puppy. It was positive for Coccidia, but had just finished a course of Albon, so Dr. Tast did not want to do anything about it just yet, hoping the Albon would take effect.

Then I filled the cotton ball containers.
We did our end of night duties and went home.
