Week 4 Day 2

Tuesday started early (6AM) with treatment of my fourth year's case and hourly visual observations of all the horses in the hospital.  I was in the hospital pretty much all morning 'til 1145.  We even got to work on some miniature horses which was neat.  Over lunch hour we had a lecture on physical exams in horses and then went and practiced performing physical exams, blood draws, injections, and administering oral medications to horses.  I ended the day watching a horse euthanasia.  I have been learning a ton on this rotation and have really been enjoying it.
