After they rounded me, I cleaned up a bit. Then I spent a few hours making packets for VESCONE’s first aid class.
Then I did the 2 o’clock treatments. Sammy, an 8 year old cockapoo ate chocolate and was in to be monitored for chocolate toxicity. I walked him and performed a TPR; temperature was 102.3, pulse was 155 and respiration was a pant.
Next was Latte, a DSH orange cat. He just needed a pulse and respiration check; which was pulse 180 and respirations were 40.
Shaw, a black and white Newfoundland came in to get his chest tapped. I helped bring him to ultrasound since he couldn’t walk well. He is 65 kgs and he had many structural deformities. Once we got his hind end up however, he was able to walk. After Dr. Fornari checked his lungs on the ultrasound, we brought him back. I watched and helped hold Shaw as Amy C and Dr. Fornari performed the chest tap. They used a 20 gauge needle and two extension sets with a 35 cc syringe. We got 2100 ml of fluid off of the left side and 900 ml off of the right.
Then I started the 4 o’clock treatments. I took Sammy for a walk and performed a TPR; temperature was 102.0, pulse was 140 and he was panting. I cleaned his back end which was covered in the charcoal he had defecated out. He was also due for another dose of Toxiban, but we had no more left, so he did not get it.
Then I entered this along with the other treatments into the computer.
Dude, a DSH tabby, came in for a drain removal, I helped to restrain.
There was some down time so I cleaned up a bit, did some laundry and dishes.
Then I rounded with the overnight techs and we started 8 o’clock treatments. I walked Gracie, did a TPR and gave her metronidazole, Clavamox and Tramadol PO and then gave her some food and water. After entering her treatment into the computer, I left.
