I am going to try very hard to not be so lazy that I dont get this post done today! Cant have Diane all worried that something is wrong just because I am being lazy!!
Things have been pretty busy at the office this week, well except for today, today has been pretty slow. Monday we had an english bulldog pup come in with a fractured elbow. So I got to fix my second lateral condylar fracture in two weeks. At this rate I am going to get pretty good at them :)

I have struggled with feeling like the bar was going to roll off my back so I moved it up about an inch and it felt so much better there then in a true low bar position. Sometimes you just got to try something a little different.

I really tried to just concentrate on keeping my feet flat and pushing my knees out. It must have worked because Paul actually told me I did a good job on squats today. Maybe there is hope for me yet!

I just pulled, I didnt think, I just pulled. Paul said these were good as well but I am not so sure I agree with him because they felt slow and weak to me.

so happy to be making myself do abs again. nothing beats having abs :)
We had a dog come in today that I did surgery on about a month ago. He is a rock eater and he had a blockage from a rock, his second time, and I opened him up and took three rocks out. His owner called last night and said he was depressed and vomiting again so they brought him down this morning and sure enough, another rock. The owner was contemplating just euthanizing him because they still owe on their last bill and I talked him out of it. I looked at the x rays again and told Natalie to put in an IV catheter and we would try super hydrating him and see if that along with some motility stimulant wouldnt get the rock moved out.

Praise the Lord it did and when we xrayed him in the afternoon the rock was in the colon.

We had a small little chihuahua that I had to amputate the leg on because the owners seem to think it is alright for the grandchildren to use it as a toy and they dropped it, for the second time, and broke its leg again. They brought the dog in a few days after and the leg was literally at a 90 degree angle. They didnt have any money and I had big doubts that the leg would heal given it had been that way for several days so we amputated it.

She is a sweet little dog and I hope they will take better care of her and NOT let the kids touch her any more!
I am headed to Denver on friday so will be doing my benching tomorrow. I have a lab on doing TTA’s in dogs for cranial cruciate repairs. I am excited to learn and am hoping it is something I can do frequently enough to become proficient at. One should never stop trying to improve their skills!
