Long and busy day!

This morning started off pretty slow. First I got off the train expecting to see my usual bus sitting there waiting for me. No such luck since its the towns day of celebration here, so the busses weren't running, so I had to walk to the practise. Which isn't a problem except it takes a while, so I was a wee bit panicked that I was going to be late! But as luck would have it one f the vets was driving by as I was walking so I hitched a ride with him! Prefect! Then I went to see about a down cow and calf. The cow had septicaemia and the calf has an infected navel, so we treated that and went out on our way. After a quick lunch I ran back out to pregnancy diagnose lap me cows, so I'm getting better at recall and what a uterus feels like empty, pregnant, really pregnant, etc. it's so crazy when you can feel something and know exactly what it is! We then went to do a fertility test on a bull, and he was very infertile/subfertile. We'll have to go have another check on him in 3 months to see if anything improves, but it seems like he's been subfertile the whole time he's been there. We then went to another farm to do a quick PD and were off again. Then we got another call while heading back to the surgery to to a calving. This is the first
One I've been called to that didn't involve a Caesarian, so it was nice to see the vet use the jack since I see so few of those. It was a great 2nd to last day for sure! The sun was out and we were outside and it was lovely! I can't believe that tomorrow is my last day! Hopefully they'll let me come back before 5th year!
