Three out of 7 puppies from a mama dog abandoned in a park were born without front legs.
These puppies were discussed and we’re going to see how they do. And the little brown and white one is getting adopted by a manager who already has a dog with this deformity.
Random update, these puppies were in recently for their first round of vaccinations and they’re all doing great!
Update time! They’re doing great!

Severe mastitis not responding well to antibiotics on a 6 month old kitten. We're going into surgery in an attempt to save her life. It's not promising though.
She survived surgery though her body temperature dropped dangerously low. She's sleeping it off now that we got her warmed up and recovered from the anesthesia. There's a lot of bandaging and she's not entirely out of the woods, but she got past the first major hurdle.
Looking good today.
Survived my first week of final year rotations!
I have absolutely loved spending the week with the farm animal vets; it’s unreal how much I’ve learned in such a small time. Now for a week of cutting up dead things on pathology!

Lest you think being a vet tech is all funny sounding kittens.
Also, seeing stuff like this makes me less and less of a fan of TNR.

Interesting cat spey yesterday: young adult stray, history unknown. Not only the pyometra (an infection in the uterus, which we don’t see as commonly in cats compared to dogs) but this little lady only had one uterine horn and ovary! Seemed clinically well but no pre-GA bloodwork due to her being a trap and release stray.

The largest pyometra I ever found… *2 years of humane contraception injection. And this cat enduring this condition for almost 1 year* T_T Before surgery , this cat weight 6 kg.. after surgery? 3.3kg.

AUGH?
Found while taking taking radiography after attempting to plate a very badly broken front limb. I’ve not actually seen broken sternebrae before.

Inci-Dental findings…
We decided to do dentistry on a trainwreck old cranky chi beast.
Then when intubating we discovered an open jaw fracture, likely caused by his severe dental disease.
We left him with his lower incisors, canines, and a single premolar.
Then it was time for that jaw.
We knew we had to take the floating piece… but we didn’t expect it to immediately pop out.
Oh… oh dear.
So we sutured the soft tissues together and or worked quite well!
But it’s definitely left him a little wonky in the face.
Hopefully his personality improves soon.

Anonymous asked:
Random question: does diabetes affect the anesthesia? Is it riskier to anesthetize a diabetic patient than a non-diabetic one?
The risk is greater in a non-stable diabetic, and they should only be anesthetized in case there is an emergency. Dehydration, hypovolaemia and especially electrolyte abnormalities have to be addressed first. Doing an ECG beforehand is recommended.
In a stable diabetic, the timing of the surgery and continuous evaluation of blood glucose levels is extremely important. 2 hours prior to anesthesia, feeding of half meal and administration of half dose of insulin is a good idea; it would be ideal to schedule the intervention based on the normal feeding schedule.
Fluid of choice is obviously 0,9% NaCl. Blood glucose should be measured every 30 minutes; in case of hyperglycaemia, the use of regular insulin should bring the glucose level down, and in case of hypoglycaemia, boluses of dextrose usually stabilise the patient.
The anesthetized diabetic patient should recover as quickly as possible and return to a normal feeding schedule. Postop, blood glucose level should be checked every 2-4 hours.
