When I arrived I held a cocker spaniel, Scooter, for a jugular blood draw for a liver chem profile. I also restrained Scooter while his staples were removed. Then I got the blood ready to be sent out to Idexx.
I drew blood for a chemistry from Ferdinand a field spaniel, and I also prepared it to be sent out.
Then I held Zoe, a Rhodesian ridgeback, for a blood draw for a heartworm test. I then ran the test, which was negative.
Tucker, a corgi mix, needed radiographs. We sedated him with Dormitor and waited until he was sedate enough. Then I helped Kerri take a VD pelvis film, and then I developed the films. After Dr. Hartman saw the films, we reversed Tucker with Antesidan.
Then I made up some heartworm syringes.
Ringo, a wheaten, came in with an abrasion on his pad on his back right paw. Dr. Hartman took a look at it, and had me bandage it with a Telfa pad, gauze and Vet wrap.
Cleo, the sick cat from yesterday, needed to be fed. She would eat if you held food to her mouth she would eat, but would not otherwise. I was able to get about ¼ can of a/d into her over the next few hours, trying every 20 minutes or so.
I performed an ear cleaning on Clancy, a beagle, using ADL (see procedures). I also applied some Dermogen in both ears as well. Then I restrained him while Kerri shaved a burst cyst on his back. We applied NeoPredef to the cyst.
Samwise, a samoyed, came in for a check ear appointment. We cleaned his ears and then applied Dermogen.
Mulligan, a golden retriever, needed a thyroid check. I got the blood ready to be sent to out to Michigan.
I brushed and dried the two golden retrievers that already had baths today.
Then I restrained Ginger, a lab, for anals and nails.
I held Boots, a DLH boarding cat for a nail trim and we found two ticks.
Since it was my last day, everyone got me Coffee cake and a card; we enjoyed the coffee cake fully.
Then I took Cleo’s catheter out and gave her 100 ml of LRS SQ and 0.38ml Baytril IM.
Two cocker spaniels, Chloe and Cody came in for nail trims, I performed both.
Owen a PVGV came in for a heartworm/Lyme test. I ran the test, which was negative.
Seamus, the Siamese cat from a week ago, came in not feeling well and not eating very well. His temperature was 99.9 degrees and his weight was down one pound. I gave him 100 ml LRS SQ and 1 ml of Dexamethasone. Then I held him while Dr. Hartman force fed him some a/d.
Roy, a mastiff mix, came in yesterday because his eyes were red and swollen. Dr. Tast suspected a bee sting, however today his back right leg was swollen three times the size of normal, and his lower abdomen was entirely bruised. We drew blood for a CBC/chem in house, and sent out blood for a pt/ptt. We also gave vitamin K since we suspected rat poison.
Beau, the golden retriever, came in to get his bandage and sutures removed. I held him while Kerri removed the sutures.
Clara, a golden retriever, came in for a heartworm/Lyme test; I drew the blood and ran the test, which was negative.
We did our end of night duties, and went home.
