Hey hey people, well I did work experience yesterday at Mosman Park Vet Hospital and today at Applecross Vet Hospital. And well I really like Applecross vet than Mosman Park vet. Why?? Because I just stood at Mosman Park vet and did nothing, it was so boring. But today was a blast at Applecross vet first thing in the morning.
Applecross Vet Hospital opened at 8am, and I reached there 1/2 hour earlier got a coffee and apple pie from Mac, stood outside the vet and waited for opening time. But once it reached 8am everything was like so cool. First thing I did was saw 2 cat castration and gave 4 jabs to them, and I was standing there just making sure their TPR was all correct when an emergency came in. This big St Bernard came in with a major nose bleed, it kept spilling blood all over the floor, and the owner's legs was covered with blood. The vets managed to stop the bleeding after awhile.
And today itself I saw 2 male cats getting castrated and 3 females getting spayed, 2 dogs getting sterilized and a dental on a beagle. And I have to keep giving all the animals jabs, and I hate it, I'm scared of the needle hahaha.
Now heres the exciting part, I took part with 3 C-sections. It was really disgusting but so fun. The first C-section was on a Chihuahua, and it had 1 pup, the next was also a Chihuahua but it had 4 pups; but they were all premature and 1 died. And the last was on a German Shepard which had 2 big pups. The German Shepard's C-section was really disgusting, the vet cut opened into the uterus and pulled 2 sacks; and when she cut the sack open, fluids started to pour all over the floor like some waterfall. And it stinks.
So what I had to do was, catch the pups from the vet after she takes it out, get a towel and break open the sack; when you break the sack liquid starts spilling out and its horrible (blood mix with crap mix with some green stuff) and I wasn't wearing gloves. Slimy! After the sack is open rub the pups really hard and than cut the umbilical cord.
All this reminds me of like the show ER, Grey's Anatomy and Emergency Vets; TV only gives you sight and sound but not touch and smell, opening up animals really stink.
The saddest part was when a old dog got put down and I had to carry the body into a freezer. The owners were tearing and kept talking to the dog before it was put down, it kind of reminded me of the day Murphy was put down. Well you got to do what you got to do. So ya that was what I did at Applecross Vet Hospital. And at Mosman Park Vet, I just stood there and looked at the vet do 2 cat castration, and that was it, I even went home 5 hours earlier haha.
Anyway, we need to pray for people in Victoria (the state of Melbourne) the fire storm is really bad, today the total death toll is 181. And most body's were all burned up till you won't know who they are. 1 town has been wiped of the map now, and there is a bush fire raging 90km of Melbourne. And dad remember we went to Healsvill Sanctuary in Vic, well it might be getting burned. And here you go dad, my fish tank, looking cool ay. And my new shoes, hopefully I won't get blood on it like today. I won't be buying fish so soon, cos my water has high levels of Nitrite and my water temperature keeps going up to 31 degrees, which can kill fishes. Got to fix that problem before I can buy fishes. Thats about it.Ok God Bless All
