One week down
So even though I'm already technically 3 months into 5th year, I'm one week down into my first rotation! Its been really fun, tiring, and interesting working in the production animal unit here. We're really given a lot of independence and case responsibility which is really cool, plus I get to play with cows and sheep all day. We've had some really cool cases, and some on PM that were a little underwhelming, though its still a good learning experience. On call this week I got to go to a LDA, which took 4 hours and was bananas inside, but I checked on her today and despite being opened up a 2nd time shes doing well! Hopefully she lives! And I'm on call today so I did treatments in the morning and currently I'm in the library doing work until its time for the night checks and calf feedings. So far its going well, passed my first DOP and passed (though it was boarderline) my CPE, so I think I'll do that again this week to improve on some of the things that I left out. I hear we're getting a few more cases in next week so hopefully its a another full week here!

Too many acronyms. No idea what they stand for haha.
ReplyDeletelol ya sometimes i forget that not everyone knows what i'm talking about. A LDA is a left displaced abomasum, DOPS are I think directly obeserved practical skills where they watch us do a task and then grade us and CPE is basically a full clinical exam of a ruminant that we have to do, though it doesnt actually count for any marks
