ANSWER:
Everybody is correct!!
The answer is C - Aural Hematoma

The meaning of aural is ear! An aural hematoma is when the flap of your dog/cat's ear fills with blood. This can be caused by a bunch of different things, like trauma, ear mites, ear infections, or just your pet shaking their head a lot. For this procedure, we must wait around 5-7 days from when you first noticed the ear filling up. This gives time for blood to start clotting which leads to a better result during surgery. For surgery, we tack down one side of the ear to the other with suture. If you just leave an aural hematoma untreated, it will turn into what the wrestlers call cauliflower ear!!

Happy National Veterinary Technician Week!

Last but not least, today we would like to recognize HANNAH!

Hannah has been a part of the Holdrege Veterinary Clinic for 7 1/2 years. Some of you may know her as the heart and soul of our Minden Clinic. Her favorite part of her job is when a patient leaves the front door, on their own, happy and healthy after barely being able to walk in a few days' prior. Her fur family consists of three dogs, four cats, two horses, and two cows. When she is not at work, she loves spending time with her family and whipping up delicious meals in the kitchen!

Thank you to the sweetest soul, Hannah!

Today we would like to recognize TESSA!

Tessa has been a part of The Holdrege Veterinary Clinic family for a year now! Many of you may not know, but she is working and also taking classes to become a full-on Veterinary Technician! We can definitely say her plate is FULL! Tessa's favorite part of her job is working with cattle and building relationships with clients. Her fur-family at home consists of her cat named Rem, her dog named Tripp, a few horses, and of course her COWS! When not at work, you will find her doing more work like checking cows with her family and helping out on the family farm. To her, that is not extra work, just a way of life!

Thank you for everything you do and always willing to learn something new, Tessa!

Today we would like to recognize CARRIE!

Carrie is no new face. She has taken a new role in the clinic and is killing it! Carrie has been a part of The Holdrege Veterinary Clinic for 28 years! She loves her job so much that not a single soul can beat her to the clinic. Most the time she is the first in and last out. She is always willing to step in and help anyone in any situation. Most of you probably know her from "Paws & Claws" Pet Grooming where she has been making your pets look good for years!
Her fur-family at home consists of 4 dogs and 7 cats. When she is not at work, she is either fishing, reading, or crocheting. If you cannot find her doing those hobbies, then she is most definitely spending time with her grandson.

Thank you for always being there when we need you, Carrie!!

At home, Katie's fur-family consists of a Rat named Pepper, two cats: Roxy and Thomas, and her pride and joy dog named Caesar! When Katie is not at work, you may find her playing volleyball or snowboarding!

Today we would like to recognize TERESA!

Teresa has been with The Holdrege Veterinary Clinic for 32 1/2 years! She has been the front face of the clinic for the last few years. Her favorite part of her job is seeing young ranchers succeed in increasing their herd productivity and size. She also loves seeing the clients' faces when their pets are able to go home happy and health after a long stay with us.
Teresa has a few pets of her own at home. She has two cats: Dallas and Kevin. She also has George, her dog. One of Teresas favorite things to do outside of work is drive around with George in her golf cart as they both listen to music.
Teresa comes second to none when it comes to her love for her family and friends.

"FerAppease is the only product that mitigates stress and its negative effects in cattle of all ages! It gives calves the comfort of being with mom. Each ml contains 100mg of the maternal bovine appeasing substance, which is a natural secretion produced by nursing cows that decreases threat perception and provides a sense of comfort to calves."
It can be used any time you feel the animal will be exposed to stressors. This includes weaning, dehorning, castration, branding, transportation, commingling, vaccinations, parturition, interruption of lactation, and breeding.
Don't hesitate to stop in or give us a call if this is something that you feel may help your herd!
