Wednesday- Today was very busy. Lots of appointments which split the vet Techs in half, so I got to help out a lot more than usual, helping to hold the more hostile animals while they got blood drawn or vaccinations. Had a dog who couldn’t really use his back legs and his eyes darted horizontally constantly, which meant either Old Dog’s Disease, or, less likely, a brain tumor.
Thursday-Today was less busy but just all day appointments. Had an adorable puppy ten weeks old who needed a lepto vaccine. She had just taken a nap so she was very tired. Her name is Ella Rose, and I got to hold her while she got her shot. She left, and then an hour later, she came back because she had a reaction to the shot: hives on her belly and a fever. My job, thankfully, was to hold the puppy until her fever and hives went down. She fell asleep in my arms and I was happy as a clam.
Saturday-Today was very very busy-similar to Wednesday. We had a lot of new patients, and once again, they let me hold the dogs while they drew blood. We had an owner with three dogs who just moved from California: a bijon frise named Tinkerbell, a yellow lab, and a severely under-groomed husky named Seiko. They all needed lots of lab work and vaccines, so it was all hands on deck.
Oh. My. Goodness. Bring Ella Rose in for your presentation and I will be happy as a clam.
