Week 4 Day 4

Well, my fourth day of equine medicine and surgery is just about over!  We had regular clinic time this morning and then we learned how to bandage legs on horses.  After talking about some of the current cases with one of the doctors over lunch we spent some time in the afternoon learning about the horse hoof: how to pick it up, how to use a hoof pick, hoof testers and hoof knife, and how to watch for lameness in a horse.  After some afternoon clinic time we finished the day with afternoon rounds.
