cases i saw and treated included: rectal tear in a pony, septic foal times 3, colic times who knows, salmonella horse, diarrhea in foals, guttural pouch mycosis, a fractured foal leg, a deep laceration, a miniature cow in labor, a baby reindeer, and last but not least... this morning's 4am equine dystocia! dr. mudge commented on friday that the only horse emergency we hadn't seen was a dystocia and that we needed one this weekend... well, we got one! and i got called in for it (well, i got called in because the tech ruth is essentially the most inefficient person i've ever met but that's another story)...
below are all of the pictures from the end of my equine emergency rotation as well as pictures of my first cardio patient today - a jack russell terrier with severe pulmonic stenosis and tricuspid dysplasia (thanks, allison, for helping me pick my case - you're the best!) adam and i rocked out patient #1 on cardio! :) wahoo!
miniature cow and calf
catheter i placed on an emergency case
radiographs of a horse chest
mama reindeer and baby (who i gave multiple treatments to!)
giving a K Pen injection... because this takes at least 10 minutes to give, we had plenty of time to take a picture!
Sam & Amy in isolation
cutest little foal to ever exist... I LOVEEEEE HER!!
on Equine ICU overnights you also take care of any in-house food animal cases (ie making a weak calf nurse every 2 hours)
gigantor foal!
my equine ICU group, including Dr. Mudge! <3
best. picture. ever. my last hours of equine ICU... those are all of the doctors with chains on the foal (stillborn) to pull it out of the mare while allison and i held the mare...
arrive at school at 4:30am... assist with mare dystocia... by 7:30am head to cardio for an entirely different set of patients and topics... 14 hours put in at school today on 2 rotations...
i love veterinary medicine!!!!! <3
