Long day full of puppies!

Today was my first day of small animal clinical EMS and I must say it was nice being back in my comfort zone more or less. It was a standard day full of vaccines, clinical examinations, and a dental! This practice is really small, smaller than any one I've ever worked at before, but that allows for some

One on one time with everyone so that's nice. Everyone's really nice and eager to teach. It was kind of frustrating seeing so many clinical exams and not being able to just dive right in, old habits I guess! And I have to remind myself it's just the first day! Since this is a relatively new practice we saw a lot of puppies, so thy was pretty fun! I don't think I've ever seen so many puppies in my whole time working that I saw in 1 day! Also saw a cherry eye so that was cool and a dog with a disease that makes his nails fall off called systemic lupus osteolysis, so that was cool. All this being said I'm kinda missing my cows! It's more satisfying having been able to see some 20 odd patients in a day as compared with large animal when it's suddenly 5 and you've only been to 3 farms. It may be too early to call, but who knows!
