Death awaits you with sharp pointy teeth

Well today was my last day of small animals clinical, Andrew every Friday at a small animal hospital it was bonkers! Lots of appointments, the dog from yesterday came in and she's doing well, so that's good! We had 3 surgeries; a cat castration, an aural harmatoma, and a mammary gland removal, so some cool ones! The mammary gland removal was cool, they also sent it to the lab to see if it was malignant. The aural harmatoma was cool because the way the vet did it was to make an incision in the ear, drain out any excess fluid and remove the weird scar tissue that was forming, and then take bits of rubber tuning from a fluid extension set cut in pieces and anchor them around the incision to prevent any more fluid building up. So that was cool since I've never seen one closed like that. After that the next noteworthy thing was a rabbit came in with 'behavioural problems.' Now what exactly means in a rabbit, we had no clue, but you see what comes in. Well this rabbit came out of its carrier, took one wee hop then literally leaped straight at me from the table, hit the wall, fell down, and hopped away like it was nothing. I'm standing here like WTF is wrong with this rabbit, brain tumour? Apparently it was coming into season, ie those crazy lady hormones were getting her crazy and attacking anything that comes close to her. Solution, get her

Speyed. Problem solved, hopefully! It was a very monty python moment for sure. I'm done now and everyone was super nice. The nurse said that the vet should give me lots of gold stars, so that was nice of her. It's been kind of a crazy week for them, so I felt a bit bad intruding but on the same hand I'm glad that I've had some small animal experience before so I could help them out, which thy seemed to appreciate. I didn't get to do as much hands on stuff as I perhaps would have liked, but I learned a lot, saw some new things, and have a placement to come back to when I've learned more stuff, so that's always good to have a place that's seen you multiple times for things like letters of rec, etc so I imagine I'll come back there either over the summer or maybe in march instead or lambing, shall see! But I am looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow! And start prepping for the next EMS!
