You Are Jan Brady

Brainy and a little introverted, you tend to think life is a lot worse than it actually is.
And while you may think you're a little goofy looking, most people consider you to be a major babe.


my sleep schedule is kaput. i'm a little wired right now but i'm sure large animal surgery is going to fix that.

coming home soon people. prepare for my arrival. i shall need cookies, beer, carrots and hummus and fellowship (or a hamburger or something).








renauld has recently decided to undergo some plastic surgery. he watched remo williams and felt inspired.









patients that i can remember right now:
*wayne -- stray, fractured radius/ulna, a bonafide skin scrape bonanza
*katie - boxer. had her first litter last week, bleeding from the mouth, collapsed -- nasty bleeding ulcer in her mouth, heart is fine (shocking)
*maddie -- rottie -- submandibular edema that has spread down her front legs, lethargy, coughing, v/d -- lymphoma/tick borne disease?
*tinkerbell - long haired chihuahua (i'll admit that she's cute) v/d
*la la - parvo pit puppy
*mrs. lady -- parvo puppy- wire haired terrier. think snatchel cute
---our isolation is in the running for cutest isolation patients of the year---
*roxie - v/d/lethargy/possibly addisonian
*spanky -- IVDD dachsund
*jake - IMTP -- actually turned out to be malignant hepatic histiocytoma. bad stuff.
*niki - aspiration pneumonia or traumatic swelling of the glottis or both
*princess- CHF, big time respiratory distress
*tucker - back
*lucy - greyhound with a fibrocartilagenous embolism
*machka - pulmonary edema, possibly HCM (her sedation for a cardiology consult made her evil. and hungry)

i'm going to try and make myself go to sleep now.

ain't no sunshine...

okay so i'm a little popo that the hubs is gone. whatever.
at least i've got work to keep me busy....

patients that i can remember:
goldie- euthanasia gone very very wrong
mrs. flanagan - swollen paw from a too tight bandage
coco -- congestive heart failure
abigail -- acute renal failure
reese -- idiopathic epilepsy
jake -- yikes. platelet count of 1000, might be tick borne
samson -- coughing
lou lou -- dystocia
runner -- intravascular hemolysis and anemia
boomer -- back again. see previous post
daniel -- cushing's?
pokey -- pericardial effusion
drummer -- right atrial mass and pericardial effusion
zollo - pulmonic stenosis, patent foramen ovale, massive pericardial and pleural effusion
killian -- a knight (in full armor) stepped on her paw -- i couldn't have even made that up

i'm missing some but i can't think of them right now. i just woke up for the love of god.
i've been told that i should update on the patients so i'll try and do that next week b/c it's just not happening right now. (be warned that many of my patients were euthanized. so many, in fact, that i told the one of the doctors that i wasn't working with her any more)

when i woke up this morning my eyes were all puffy and felt swollen shut. now that's some hard sleeping.... hopefully my brain will wake up soon

the roomies (there's a new guy. raphael. austrian? ) went to the coast. jealous

i just checked on renauld. he's been hanging out on the porch since yesterday. he's hoping the sun comes around soon b/c it was a little chilly last night. he's a very sassy little plant. i think he would complain a lot if he could and i think this is what renauld probably looks like in the plant world.

w-i-r-e-d.

things i wish:
*that uga had digital radiography b/c it is freaking great
*that i could get a link on cb's hub's site. what does it take for the love of god? is it not enough *that i'm the wifer of his doppelganger? sheesh.
*that people wouldn't feed their animals raw diets
*that it wasn't daylight savings time yesterday b/c i could've used that extra hour of sleep
*that my feet didn't have a funk emanating from them.
*that other people would post besides me, herschel and team leggett. are you intimidated by our fabulousness? it's okay, we don't judge.
