Another good one, better than yesterday (felt crappy with allergies, but good work-wise).

-Didn't do any more dentals, but did do a cat neuter. It was a 'closed' castration, which means that when the scrotum is opened, the vaginal fascia is not cut into. It was again a little odd to open them up, pull out the testicle and feel it 'pop' through the membranes and fat. I used hemastats to make the knot and hold it outside so it wouldn't snap back inside.

Stayed late and did a few go homes, which was fun (er, sorta). Had one cat that was trying to eat me through the cat carrier. Charming. Helped to clean up a nasty hot spot on the neck of a cat, but other than that, it was a day filled with talking to clients and doing the neuter. Good experience.

Today at school, er, work, I did:
-Cat neuter (closed)
-Drew blood (dog, back leg)
-Hot packed
-Restrained (dog)
-Helped set up a spay
-Spoke to clients (go home and gave advice)
-Drew up and recorded drugs
-Vaccines (cat)
-Dewormed (cat)
-Gave medications (orally, IM, SQ, in both dog and cat)
-Took out a catheter
-Played with a kitten!
-Did bills.

That's it!
