After lunch we did a necropsy on a sheep and went to a local farm where we practiced physical exams and administered rabies vaccinations to the horses. Unfortunately, Serina and I got the "bitch mare" and her baby who were not pleased to have us around [they especially did not appreciate us sticking thermometers up their butts]. While neither of us got kicked, Dr. Emma received a nasty shot from a foal on her leg, although now she does have a badass bruise in the perfect shape of a horse hoof [Oh the joys of working with animals]. We also got to watch Dr. T castrate a stallion so we'll know how to do it when we go to the cattle farms. We use a tool called an emasuculator to simultaneously crush and cut the spermatic cord at the same time [watch out boys].
The girls and I had a relaxing night having our hair wrapped by Chelsea and Aubrey while getting addicted to the first season of Gossip Girl [we made it through a quarter of the season in one sitting]. Our "Slumber Party"also consisted of constant tick checks [the horses where CRAWLING with them] after Hot Sauce pulled two off her body [it also doesn't help that almost everyone here is a hypochondriac].
Cheers!
