Day 1&2

Since I'm using my phone I won't be able to put up pictures yet; however, I will be posting pictures and videos by the end of the week. I've definitely learned a lot during these two days on project (if you don't know I'm working at a veterinarian clinic in Euclid), but the first thing I learned yesterday was how to stomach the gross stuff. What I do during project is watch the surgeries (in order to gain knowledge about the animals who are recieving the surgery) and nurse the animals until they are ready to be sent home; needless to say yesterday was a gruesome day. First thing in the morning here comes the massive white dog (I'll check the breed later) named Dotty. Dotty is deaf, has whip worm (a parasite that resides in the dog's intestinal tract and causes dehydration, anemia, weight loss, diaherria, and death) and was recently saved from a puppy mill. Once Dotty came in it was obvious that she was pregnant...her owner didn't want her to have to give birth to anymore puppies, especially in the condition she's in, so they gave her an abortion!!! My first thought was dogs get abortions!!??? Yeah crazy, right? But they removed her entire uterus and gave her a spaye; it left me speechless. I took care of Dotty this morning, took her out, and she went home in the afternoon; she was soooo happy. There's this cat named Missy because she's missing a leg, but she's the quickest little buzzard I've ever met! She doesn't even know she's missing a leg! Shadow, he's a black cat, he had in grown nails on his front paws that caused him to get terrible infections, so he got declawed. Shadow was running a fever yesterday, but he's starting to feel better. Then there's scooby. Scooby got paralyzed when a branch fell on his spine, but they gave him surgery a two months ago and he's walking weird, but good enough. I cleaned all their cages and groomed them a bit today. Their kind of spoiled so all they do is meow when thy go back into the cages. I feed baby boy, he's a boarding dog. There will be pictures soon.
