Today was surgery marathon!! We did eight dog spays, two dog neuters and one cat spay. We also removed a tumor, repaired and umbilical hernia, treated a TVT (Transmissible Venereal Tumor), and extracted an abscessed fourth pre-molar in a dog without any dental instruments. We improvised. The dog with the abscessed tooth was VERY sick and we gave her one liter of IV fluids with about seventeen, sixty cc syringes. It was fun! Moses got quite a work out drawing them all up! We finally finished with everything at about 11:00 pm.
In between surgeries, Julia had a few minutes to work on her butterfly collection using a coat hanger and a plastic grocery bag. She caught a really pretty black swallowtail looking butterfly with radiant blue markings.
Most of the dogs had lots of ticks and Heidi occupied herself with pulling them off. We had a little bit of Frontline that we used on the worst cases.
