Lousy day. Felt out of place all day, and everyone was in a bad mood. I can only hope tomorrow is better!

-Leg amputation! I got to watch most of this (at least in between clients and helping the other techs. It's nice to be in surgery!) and got to see her use the mallet and the osteotome! Man, they really do just smack it.
-Helped with an xray for the female rat poison dog, who is now dubbed 'June'. Very sweet dog, and really hyper now! She's doing well, and has some very nice, very responsible owners. Lucky dog.
-There was a lot of death today. A husky died in the kennels after receiving the pre-euth cocktail (a mix of sedatives to relax them), and appointment died before it even got to the clinic, a 3-legged patient that was previously in died, and Jake, the little golden puppy with seizures, died after another seizure.
-Another pancreatitis and pyelonephritis case came in. This is the...third?
-Learned about the creation of billing and how to charge for fluids, hospitalization fees.
-Slow surgery day.
-Blah. Tomorrow is another day.
