My first day as a vet....

My first day of a vet..... what to say.

Firstly I was nervous, very very very nervous because I have never done anything like working in a vet so I had NO idea what I was going to do or what I would see.

When I arrived at Barrakgate Vet I was firstly introduced to Fiona the veterinary Nurse who then showed me around the vet.

We then had consultations where we had to make a dog sick due to the fact that he had eaten rat poison and it could kill him if we dint take it out. That was very disgusting seeing as I had to hold the dog`s bum (Yeah I`m being serious) and the dog refused to throw up until we injected this crystal soap stuff into his mouth 9 times.
I then got to go upstairs and watch a surgery take place, I was warned that if I felt like I was gonna puke then I should go get air (I didn't though) they then started on neutering three cats and two dogs. I was then  "Lucky" enough to get to be shown where the Fallopian tube was in the dogs and cats and how they made sure that the eggs would`nt  pass through anymore by tying a knot with this special thread.
After that I thankfully got lunch were I was greeted to Foxy and Petra another nurse. I then ate and got to see more consultations before going home.
