I am officially half way through my first term as a vet tech student!! Finished all my midterms with A’s! I am officially an honor roll student for the first time in my life.
And…. New Hello Kitty scrubs!!
I started my first clinic rotation at a vet hospital yesterday… Pretty uneventful. I helped with a lot of restraining for procedures… Cystocentesis (so cool!), blood draws, catheter insertion, suture removal. A 30-something lb lab came in after eating over 8oz of coffee beans… Had to induce vomiting (the lab seriously smelled like someone was brewing a fresh pot of French roast), we had to give him like 260 ml of activated charcoal… Messy messy messy.
Anyway, I’m having the time of my life!
I also learned how to draw blood…. Did a successful blood draw on Lola on my first try!
