By ‘inbetween’ I am referring to
all the little procedures I am learning along the way, and all the snippets of
daily hospital life that I am lucky enough to often witness....
For instance, wandering past the
x-ray room last week I stopped to watch an endoscope of a swan. The day before
that I observed a veterinary dissection of a fox (it was undergoing a post
mortem, after death by natural cause) which allows us to gather information
about the health and diseases within wild populations. And then there was fracture repair on a
kestrel…where was my camera!!!
Yesterday I applied eye ointment
to a magpie, oral wormer to the crows, and today I’ve been administering
syringe medication to hedgehogs (under vet supervision).....and still so, so
much to see, learn and do! I love my
job!!
