Amy C rounded me when I arrived, we mostly had cats today. Then I gave 0.2 CC of Ampicillin to Gracie, one of the cats, IV.
It was slow today, so I did a lot of Laundry, Dishes and I cleaned the wet tubs. (See protocols)
Then we did the 2 o’clock treatments:
There was Jack a 1 year old domestic shorthair, whose owners put dog Biospot on him. I took his temperature which was 99.9 degrees Fahrenheit.
Then there was Murri a domestic shorthair. Murri was a possible hit by car with a very badly damaged eye. I took his heart rate, which was 220. Murri is scheduled to have surgery tonight to remove the eye.
Next was Gracie, a domestic shorthair with renal failure. Her heart rate was 260. Then we rinsed her mouth and fed her.
Then Sarah, one of the doctors, brought her cat, Oreo a DSH, in who vomited at home. She wanted a full workup done on him. We drew blood for a CBC and chemistry and then I clipped her nails and gave her water and a liter box.
Our 4 o’clock treatments were;
Murri, I gave 0.36ml of Ampicillin IV. Then I applied Genteal Eye, which is an ointment. Then I changed his IV line.
We pulled Jack’s catheter, because he is scheduled to go home tonight.
Gracie needed Oral Buprenex, a new bag of LRS with 16 mEq of KCL which was 8 mL’s.
Then I made flushes for a while (see protocols).
Animal control brought a stray cat that was dead on arrival. We scanned it for a microchip and then wrote down a description of her on her tag to go on her bag. After that, Jenn Hart and I brought her to the freezer and logged her in the book.
Jack went home.
Next I held Murri for an eye exam by Christy, one of the Vets.
Oliver had a PU surgery today because he kept blocking. His catheter needed to be rewrapped, so I held him for this.
Monty, a 12 week old male bulldog, came in for a possible eye abrasion. His day care had called his owner and said he got hit by another dog while they were playing. I helped restrain him for his exam. Nothing noticeable was seen, it was probably just a puppy reaction to being hit. However we did tell the owner to keep an eye on it to make sure nothing happened within the next 24 hours.
Mitzy, a DSH spayed female who had been vomiting and could not hold her food down for 2 days. Her temperature was 103.5, heart rate was 200, respiratory rate was 52 and she was 7 kgs. It was time for me to go before anything was decided about whether or not Mitzy was going to stay or not.
