When I first arrived “Lisa” The girl that I shadowed told me that there was
an emergency with one of the animals. It ended up that a one-year-old beagle ate
an entire thing of metabolite, and then slowly started to die. The liver had
shut down, and the heart rate was up to 300. Lisa told me that taking a thing of
metabolite was like taking 50 cups of coffee at once. The owners of the beagle
were there and bowling. The beagle’s name was Murry. Murry's body slowly was
shutting down one thing after another.
The owners made the decision the dog was going to be put to sleep. We
got the dog ready to be taken out. They undid all the cords from the dog so they
could take it to another room. I said goodbye to the dog, and then they took it
into the other room so that the owners could be there when they put him to
sleep. After that happened they then had to put a sleep a little hedgehog that
had cancer on its mouth. We then did two regular checkups with one cat and with
one dog.
Those when great. After that we had a dog come in and it ended up having an
affection that might end up killing it. I never heard the end result. The last
thing that I did there was that a black lab had been bitten by another dog, and
that dog ripped a hole in the neck of the black lab. The doctors had to perform
surgery on the dog to close up the holes in the neck.
They first had to clean it out with qutips. And blood stated to come out
right then I was a little dizzy and I thought I was going to faint. But thank
god I didn’t. I saw a cat get dental work on it. And a cat get a bath and they
had to blow dry it and brush the hair while it was a sleep. I thought that the
work place environment was very clean and very professional.
On my pictures on the poster it shows you that they even had a place for dogs
to go in and a separate place for cats to go in they also have different waiting
rooms for each of them. I could easily be able to work in a place that is that
clean, and so organized. I learned multiple things there from chemicals how much
they need how much they use math and science, to there organization skills, and
there abillity to be able to communicate with the animals and be able to not cry
ever time they have to put them to sleep. The things that they do hardly relate
to what I’m doing in school right now, because I’m not that smart yet.
But in science we are learning about different chemicals together and how
they make a reaction. Also I’m learning how to keep everything nice and
organized, so I know where everything that I need is. I observed many behaviors
that they showed that would be important in a lot of jobs. One of those are
there communication skills.
To be able to work with many different people under the type of stress that
they can be in is hard. That aplies to a lot of jobs because a lot of different
jobs make you work under a lot of stress with many different people at the same
time. There are countless skills that you take on with you to college or even
work. Kindness, cleanness, organization, and most of all people skills with out
that you not be able to handle being in a job with other people. Being a
veterinarian is something that I have always even since I was a little girl have
wanted to be. I have always loved animals expesialy dogs.
