TGIF #2!!

Ok so today was pretty cool.

I got to watch a freeze branding take place. This was the first time that Ive ever seen it happen, so it was a pretty neat experience.
I even took a video of it!! Nothing too exciting about the video, but cool none the less.

Check it out!!

The sarcoma mare, well, she stank. MAN did that ever STINK! Got a bunch of pictures, but a little too graphic for the net :) Unfortunately I missed the epidural because I was in the other room with the freeze brand.

A colic came in too! They did a belly tap on her, and her fluid was red. This is pretty abnormal because it should look like apple juice color. She was regurgitating like CRAZY. Horses can't vomit, so they passed a tube into her esophagus, and basically as soon as it entered the contents came flowing out. The owners decided to put her down, and so the vet, before the big truck came to take her body away, wanted to try and get in a mini post mortem. When he opened her up he found ~4 feet of dead small intestine!! No wonder she was colicing!

Anyway, I'm all packed up and ready to go, just waiting for the other tech to be ready and we'll be on our way to Medicine Hat! ( Im beginnning to think there is something fishy about this place because every time I mention it to someone they say " Why on earth are you going to Medicine Hat??????".... I'm sure Ill be alright....hopefully the worst case scenario is that I need to get my picture taken beside the worlds largest Teepee ( if thats how its spelt). And if THATs the only thing I need to be worried about then I think I'm in good shape!

Oh yeah!! ONE LAST THING! I GOT A SUNBURN today! hahah We had this Chinook come in and it was +15 all day, and with the exception of when it started and ended and the winds were ridiculously strong, it was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Ok, NOW I'm done!
