Back to work

Started work again today. Kicked it all off with a 12 hour shift! Actually not a bad thing though. Was very happy to be back at work, earning money and all that jazz... It's summer, which means that we see a lot of patients, which is great, both for income and boredom factors! :-P

Anyway, what did we see today? We had one dog in the kennels that was a post-op bladder surgery. He was just in recovery when I came on shift, so pretty easy, really. We saw two dogs that were quilled by porcupines-- one of them was REALLY bad, like he'd gone up and tried to maul it. Quills all over his face, chest, shoulders, feet, inside his mouth.. ouch!

We saw a cat with a urinary tract infection (UTI), a dog with possible seizures, a sick puppy, a lame puppy, an ACD with a swollen eye, a cat who skinned his feet climbing up a tree (he was running from dogs). We even mostly got paid today, YAY.

Anyway, no really *interesting* stories to relate from the animal care trenches today, so I'll cut this short. Must to type up and post chapter 25 of Adapting... then probably off to bed, as it's about 0300 now.

Cheers all!
