Duncan’s Battle With Diabetes
Duncan is a diabetic. His owners brought him in because he had lost a lot of weight and was drinking and peeing lots. We did some blood work and a urinalysis to confirm that Duncan was a diabetic, but I was certain before we got the results. Diabetes...
Sage’s Dislocated Hip
Sage came in on Monday afternoon. This two-year-old yellow lab had been hit by a car earlier in the day, but dad had to get home to help get her in the car. On first glance, she looked okay, but on closer inspection, she was a little shocky. Her gums were...

Falconry Test
Yesterday I took my falconry exam: one hundred questions of multiple choice and true/false questions about the practice of falconry. All birds of prey or raptors are protected by state, federal, and international law; therefore, any potential falconer must...
Vet Life and It’s not just a vet life
Long Day at the E.R.
I got caught by a stoplight so I was parking as my shift began Sunday morning. I was in the building by 8:02AM. The doctor I was relieving seemed happy to seem me. She quickly went through the cases. She had done two enterotomies (for a gunshot and a eaten towel), had...
