The Vet School Journey. Remember: This is a journey, not a race. Enjoy it.". Thursday, April 26, 2012. One of my Urgent Care patients last night was a 4 year old standard poodle named Wes who almost certainly has lymphoma.

Wes's owners felt the need to bring him to their regular vet yesterday afternoon when Wes started sneezing blood (epistaxis). Unfortunately, the most p...

The Vet School Journey. Remember: This is a journey, not a race. Enjoy it.". Friday, May 11, 2012. With graduation today, my vet school journey has officially come to an end. It's been a long 4 years - at times fun, fascinating, invigorating, inspiring, informative, educational, emotional, frustrating, challenging, exhausting. Thank you to all of my friends and family who have supported me, kept me sane, and given me someone to laugh with or a shoulder to cry on after a long day. May 11, 2012 at 4:17 PM.

The Vet School Journey. Remember: This is a journey, not a race. Enjoy it.". Saturday, September 24, 2011. Dead kittens and koi and bulls - oh my! I'm halfway through my necropsy rotation. I've not blogged about it yet not because I'm terribly busy (I'm not) but mostly because it's just depressing. A necropsy is an autopsy or "post-mortem examination" on a deceased animal. Why they call it a necropsy, I have no idea. Here's a sample of how we do a necropsy. 5 Use a knife to cut through the muscles along ...

The Vet School Journey. Remember: This is a journey, not a race. Enjoy it.". Thursday, April 19, 2012. I'm ready for some minions. Since returning from my externship at LIAH. I've been unusually annoyed by the many varied intricacies of trying to get simple tasks done at the VTH. Let's compare, for instance, how you get a CBC and chemistry panel sent to the lab at the VTH compared to LIAH. April 21, 2012 at 6:31 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Humphrey is a Pug who consumed most of my Thursday-Sunday this past week on Soft Tissue Surgery. One of the biggest problems that we've created by breeding dogs with such a smushed-in face is that brachycephalic dogs often have serious respiratory difficulties. They are often born with two anatomical problems:. The larynx ("voice box," in h...

I'm officially back to a daytime schedule now, following Saturday night's final overnight shift. Other than the CPR, my shift was an uneventful one, with a mere 3 inpatients and no outpatients for which I was responsible. My 3 were familiar ones:. 1 Mr Presa Canario post-op Wobbler's surgery, here since Tuesday. 2 Mr Dachshund post-op hemilaminectomy, here since Tuesday. We had...

But ophthalmology is such a. Subject that living through cases once was enough for me, and I couldn't bring myself to re-hash any of them for you! So, adios, ophthalmology. I'm so done with you!

Internal medicine is picking up speed as the week progresses. I had a relativly easy start to the week, with 2 hepatitis patient rechecks on Monday and my rock-eating buddy Emmie. However, as these things go, the more interesting and busy the caseload is, the less time for blogging. Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Lesson #895: Don't eat rocks. Emmie spent a day at her ...
