Midway Weekend

The first surgical group and my uni friends have finished their course and left the ITC today, most of them are going travelling around India (and Thailand) while a couple are heading back to the UK for their first vet jobs, which means I’m ‘on my own’ for two days until the next group arrive.

This morning I did kennel rounds with two of the vets so we checked all the inpatients which had surgery yesterday, gave them wound and pain scores, then pain relief (melox) and rabies vaccinations.

After rounds we had a few emergencies come into the clinic, one being a terrier who’d been attacked by a wild boar.

He had deep wounds and an open tibial fracture so we placed a catheter to give fluids in case of shock and pain relief. The leg was x-rayed and immobilised with a splint until possible surgery on Monday.
