Yesterday was our group's last surgery day for the fall semester. I was assistant surgeon and Olga was surgeon. Our dog was found as a stray and had been at the shelter for two months. His estimated age was 5-7 years old. He was a little cautious at first but quickly warmed up to us once we entered his kennel and started petting and talking to him. He was a little wary of the stethoscope when Olga went to check his heart rate and listen to his lungs but he is fine with that now. However, he definitely dislikes his temperature being taken and we muzzle him for that. He also had fleas but was treated at the shelter so his hair is starting to grow back on his tail and his lower back. He is an awesome dog once he gets to know you, I enjoy coming in with Olga and working with him with all the exams we have to do. The surgery went fine, there was a lot of blood so as assistant surgeon I did a lot of dabbing blood. He is doing real well post-surgery so we are glad for that!
Just four more days of class, can't wait to get the class (and the exams) behind me.
