Poor Uli

I brought Uli in for Mike to bandage his itty bitty dachsie leg. Poor Uli has had bursitis for almost 2 months and we have tried anti-inflammatories and steroids but nothing has really helped. In fact his little wrist is more swollen than ever. Mike thought some support of the joint might help so today was the day. As you can see, Uli is not sure at all of this new state of affairs.

I think he will get lots of extra attention - and he'll have to be carried everywhere of course! Uli is supposed to keep this on for 3 - 4 weeks. Should be fun...

Busy day- I was float but had scores of stuff to do in all departments. The first 3 appointments were kept for surgeries; only the first was schedueled - a Great Dane ear crop. Such a cutie. Then there was the dog with an abcessed molar tooth, and the lab with a pyometra/uterine tumor. The corgi "Wilbur" was still there from the weekend with seizures. Mike had 2 pig surgeries - hernias. Whew! Today made up for the slow last week.

After an Ear Crop...

With Natural Ears...

With Cropped Ears and puppy....

 But today turned out to be another pig vaccine day for me. Pam was surgery so she was busy, Beth had the day off, so that left me! It took me most of the morning to figure out all the 'stuff' the producer needed to have shipped. Four different things had to be made first - 800 doses of vaccine, gallon of Ear and Tail Spray (to keep pigs from chewing on each other ), 3 bottles of appetite stimulant for the new Momma pigs, and a bag of iron for the piglets. That was this morning. This afternoon I had another batch of pig stuff to get ready for Tom to take to the farm tomorrow. More vaccine (but different) and other stuff as well.

Lots of front desk time in between as Megan had to enter the slips from Saturday's clinic and Holly worked on horse coggin tests. Tomorrow afternoon I go in to work the Equine Vaccination Clinic - just Tom, Holly and me!

Better go carry Uli outside for business and get ready for bed....
