Week 13/16 🐾 finals are approaching and I find myself having less and less time to be active on this account, let alone a social life, so... I apologize for not posting as much; anyways here's what I did this week!
VET 104 Lab Animal Nursing- rabbit SQ saline injections and marginal ear venipuncture in lab
VET 118 Animal Care I- Fear Free module 5
VET 110 Small Animal Nursing I- skin scrapes, slanted agar bacteria growth, and ear cleaning
VET 125 Pharmacology I- antiparasistic drugs (why are there so many drugs)
VET 160 Anatomy + Physiology- basic horse anatomy and physiology
So far I have successfully drawn blood from dogs, cats, mice, and now bunnies! I definitely need to work on my restraint for the smaller guys but I have plenty of time to practice. For the most part my grades are doing okay (knock on wood) but I definitely need to start reviewing and retaining the stuff I've learned.

I ALSO need to give myself a break every now and again. I haven't been seeing my friends and spending time with my animals much and it's been making me sad. That's honestly the harsh reality of school for the time being. But, I'm going to hang in there I know this is what I want to be doing and I know I'm taking the right steps to get there. I also need to see my tutor 😬
