Another One Bites The Dust!

Well, if you've looked on the right side of the blog, you'll see a running log of my clinical rotations. I finished Pathology this week (THANK GOOOOOOOOD!!) No more cutting up dead, smelly animals! I'm now on Food Animal, so I deal with live, smelly animals. I guess not much of a change, but I'm having fun at least!

Today we sheared 3 llamas. That's right...Llamas! It was fun, until they started trying to kick us. They're like horses in that they can use all 4 legs to kick in all directions, plus they can bite, and as a bonus...they SPIT (with amazing accuracy)! It was a good time.

Yesterday I spent the majority of my day covered in cow poop, but I got to do a rectal palpation and feel a calf, that was kinda cool. The cow actually had the calf today, she's adorable!

So I meant to post these earlier in the week, but I was pretty busy with the exams I had Monday and Tuesday. We were brave and attempted to bathe Sampson this week because he's losing his winter coat right now and there's hair ALL OVER the apartment! It was quite an adventure, and we got some fun pictures, so here ya go!

In the tub...


Ryno stayed in his bed the entire time for fear that we were coming after him next. He finally came out once we were done!



Of course Sam got a treat for being such a good boy =)
