When I arrived today I restocked the syringes in the treatment area as well as the heartworm syringes. I also cleaned the stainless steel containers.
Katy, a guinea pig, came in because it was supposedly not breathing. However, when she came in, she looked just fine. We just clipped her nails and sent her on her way.
Vincent, a pomeranian mix, was just adopted from the south. His entire back half of his body was matted. We were supposed to shave the mats and then clip his nails. However when we went to get him out of his cage, he tried to bite Linda. We ended up having to use gauze to tie his muzzle shut, and then put another cloth muzzle on top. Then Linda shaved him, I washed and dried him and then cut his nails as well.
I performed a bandage change on Geraldine, a whippet, who had a laceration on her left back leg. Dr. Hartman took a look at the staples and will have the owners bring her back for staple removal in one week.
Cooper, the mastiff mix who had a mass removal last week, came in to have his drain removed. However, apparently Cooper ate the drain that day, since it was no longer there. We tried to make sure there was no part of it left, but it was rather difficult. We told the owner that she needed to watch the hole where the drain was to see if it was still draining, or if it just healed. And we would also check when he came in for suture removal.
Sammy, a cavalier King Charles spaniel, came in with vomiting and diarrhea for about a week. He had been eating a low residue diet which had not helped. I took a temperature which was 101 degrees and then gave 100 ml of LRS fluids and 1 cc of B-pen SQ.
Rylan, a Boston terrier pitbull mix, was in for a rabies shot and a nail trim. I held for the rabies trip and performed the nail trim.
I restrained two dachshunds for nail trims and Gucci a maltese puppy for rabies shot.
I then made up fluid bags for tomorrows surgeries. I took two LRS bags and one Sodium chloride bag and attached fluid lines and 18 gauge needles to the lines. Then I let the fluid run out to fill the lines. Then I took one of the LRS bags and added 3 ccs of vitamin B to the bag. Then I dated each bag and hung them up.
Then I cleaned up a bit around the treatment area.
Petey, a DSH orange tabby came in for boarding, and needed his nails trimmed. I performed the nail trim.
Riley, a cavalier King Charles spaniel, came in having trouble breathing. We gave him oxygen and 0.5cc of lasix IV. I attempted to give the medicine IV, but Tracy had to do it.
Then we did our end of night duties and left.
