So last week started my shelter medicine rotation. I spent last week on the surgery section and next week I will see the medicine side of the shelter. We got to do spays and neuters on cats and dogs all week and we also observed an enucleation and two cherry eye procedures. Overall it was a very fun week and I was able to get my cat spay time down to 40 minutes after it took me over an hour the first day. I'd say that's a success! I'm on this rotation with several good friends of mine and they've taken to teasing me a bit, calling me the fastest cat neuter in the west and a cat wrangler. Neutering cats is pretty similar to neutering pigs--and I've had a lot of practice at that. It gave me a bit of an upper hand when it came to efficiency in the cat neutering world. And as for cat wrangler, I chalk it up to luck and just being in the right place at the right time, but one of the kittens got loose from another girl and I snatched him up as he attempted to make a running exit down the hallway. Nevertheless, I think I'd prefer to wrangle horses over cats any day.
