Well, the pot luck today went well. There was so much food and I think I maybe made myself sick because I tried to be polite and have some of everybodies food...hahahah that sounds so corny! It all just smelled and looked so good so I had a little bit of everything. That's what youre supposed to do at pot lucks after all :) 
Today was an awesome not busy at all day. Or so it started off...The morning began with me developing a few xrays before going out on the road with 2 vets to treat a mare that had foundered. When we came back, I got to take a bunch of staples out of a dogs leg.
After lunch, I set up for 4 floats. They were supposed to be routine. SUPPOSE is the key word in all of this. Of the four, 2 of the horses were 30 years old. These 2 provided interesting mouths! Among the routine floats, both ended up having gaps between some of their teeth, called diastemas. To prevent food from getting trapped in a narrow gap, the teeth on either side are burred away. While the vet was doing this, ( on both horses) she discovered that one of the adjacent tooths was excessively loose, so came the extraction! Very cool to watch! Those took from about 130 until 5 pm...
The rest of the evening has gone about like any other night. Emails, facebook, MSN, grey's anatomy, and my blog !
The only known plan for tomorrow is the removal of a sarcoma on the vulva of a mare. It's a standing procedure, so they're only going to be doing an epidural! This is something that I need to read up on before going to bed.
Tomorrow afternoon.....it's off to Medicine Hat I go!!!!!!!!!!
