Well, I've been keeping plenty busy here on ER! However my animals have not been doing too well, fortunately it's not because of anything that I have done wrong. Yesterday I was involved in the euthanasia of the husky I saw last Thursday on my neurology rotation. My patient from Wednesday was also euthanized yesterday. I also learned that my patient from Monday as well as my patient from last Friday on neurology were euthanized. That's a lot of death but that's just how vet med goes sometimes.
Today my patient was a......chicken! Yup, we had a chicken present to our ER today for not walking well on its right foot. We took a quick radiograph of its foot and it turns out it had dislocated the biggest toe on its foot. So, we popped the toe back in place and put a splint and bandage on its toe and sent it on its way. Don't believe I've ever been involved in anything like that before!
Tomorrow I am on day shift again so will be at school from 7AM until 4-6PM or so. Then Sunday I switch to nights (I go in from 4PM-3AM or so) so I'm off Saturday evening and Sunday morning and early afternoon. I plan to head to Tremont to be with my brother and see my Uncle Dale and Aunt Mare and their kids again. Then I will be on nights all next week except for Monday night which is my day off this coming week.
