After we rounded, we started the 8am treatments.

Gracie, a female golden doodle was a possible foreign body; I walked her and then performed a TPR.
Next was L.C. one of the Doctors dogs who had a TPLO from vetscision who was a pitbull. I walked her and performed a TPR and gave her 100mg of Tramadol for the pain.
Sennan was a Burmese mountain dog who was hit by a car and one of her hips was out of place. I obtained a blood pressure of 100.
Hannah, a rottweiler, was spayed a week ago and has been vomiting since. I walked her and performed a TPR, set up fluids and fed her.
Three of one of the doctors cats were boarding so I cleaned their cages and fed and gave them water. Friday needed 3.5 units of insulin SQ as well, which I gave.

Next, one of the techs from NEVOG was bringing Missy, a pomeranian, to ultrasound when she crashed. They intubated her and started CPR and got her back for a few minutes before she crashed and turned blue again. We continued CPR and I drew up epinephrine for them whenever they needed it and I also got the fluids ready. Then I cleaned up the area so nothing was in the way since I wasn’t doing anything else. She ended up dying and they had the owner come back and see her and he decided to bring her home to bury.

Then I cleaned and organized the endotracheal drawer, making sure each tube had gauze at the end to be tied. Then I cleaned out both of the tub sinks and the sink by the tubs.

Then Maxine a yellow lab who was here for an ultrasound and liver biopsy I helped bring her back from the ultrasound room and put her in her run.

Then I walked Hannah again and gave her 1.2 ml of Pepcid and 1.2 ml of Baytril, I gave both of these IV.

Then I took Sennan out with Amy B for pain assessment.

After lunch I did the laundry and some dishes.

Gracie went to surgery to see if she did have a foreign body, which she did. When she came back, she needed a central line put in. We kept her under anesthesia and Amy C placed the central line. I watched and placed the Fentanyl patch.

Then I wrapped a pack to be autoclaved.

I then obtained a blood pressure from Gracie, which was 50. We gave her a bolus of fluids from the incubator.
I then cleaned and stocked some more. After that I took Maxine for a walk and Maura performed a TPR. Then I drew blood for a PCV and total solids and I ran them. The PCV was 46% and the total solids were 7.6.
