So, today we had an Oncology exam (yuck), and an Equine Lab (yay!). Nothing against Oncology...it's a really interesting class. Did you know that 1 in 8 Golden Retrievers will get Lymphoma, yet Pomeranians are 10 times less likely to get it? Anyways, the weekly ritual of monday morning exams gets real old...real fast. Our afternoon lab was fun though, and we actually got to touch real animals (a rare occurrance in the first 2 years of vet school!) Every once in a while they let us do some cool stuff and then we remember why we all wanted to become vets so badly. I posted some pics...we each got to practice doing physical exams, giving various injections, and each placed an IV Catheter. Fun Stuff :)
