I am a student going to school to become a Veterinary Technician. I started my first quarter in January 2011, and would like to document my journey through the program! I hope you enjoy the journey with me! :)

A Pretty Interesting Day
Heya!
Today in Imaging we got to take x-rays of a chicken! It was pretty cool because I've never really interacted with chickens before. I got to help carry it, restrain it for x-rays, and return it to its cage. We also watched two different blood draws on the chicken, which was pretty interesting. I find out that chickens get hematomas extremely easy, even with a perfect blood draw.
We also took some x-rays of one of the rats we have at school. The rat was so chill that we literally used no restraint for the one x-ray, and hardly any for the second one.
We didn't do a whole lot else today, but it was fun. I'll write more later :)
