Acting vets!

Today was a good day! First I went with the vet to do a bunch of PDs and I'm getting a lot better at my rectal pregnancy diagnosis and it was great to get my hand in some coos. Then we went to go get some special medium to grow Campylobacter because this farm has a bull that is a real pain so they are looking to cull him but after they collect his semen to sell. But the lab cultured some campylobacter form him but it died before they could speciate it, so we went back to take the sample in this stuff so hopefully they will get some answers! Then the other vet student here and I went to a farm BY OURSELVES and did a full lameness assessment on the whole herd! It was cool that we were there by ourselves doing some work, granted not very difficult work, and it did get a bit tedious so we could see why they stuck us with the job, but it was still great that they let us go off on our own. Plus while we were waiting for them to come and get us we pet some calves. Though very carefully as they were riddled with ringworm. Though there was some lag time it was still a good day!
