Vet School Open House

Yesterday, Sunday October 2, was the vet schools open house from 10-4.  I worked the 1230-4 shift at the pathology booth.  We had the heads of a two headed calf out, a one eyed piglet, a couple dogs bladders with bladder stones, a dog heart with heartworms, an enterolith from a horse (basically a big ball of mineralized contents that can form in horse's intestines), slices through horse feet (one normal and one with laminitis) and many more such exciting specimens.  I enjoyed talking to both kids and adults about the specimens we had out and about vet school in general.  The night before, I went to Tremont for a chili cook-out.  Overall it was a good weekend.  Now, I start my ophthalmology rotation this week.
