Farm Practice

Farm animal hospital went well last week. I learned quite a bit in a short space of time and got to practice skills we hadn't used for a while.

This week is farm animal practice. Basically we go out with the vets from uni on farms and get involved. It's great! I seem to have become involved in one of the projects on a local farm because a) it's fun and b) you get to see loads of different things, although it does involve being in to uni really early and sometimes long days. Ah well.

Quick Update

It's been a busy past few weeks, thus been light on the blogging. Here's the highlights:

- Survived equine ICU! The weekend was fairly relaxed and we spent some time in the sun. I escaped Sunday evening to...

- Head to Wales for a week. More EMS, which is great during lambing time. Did some sheep caesars, assisted on a cattle caesar, plus the usual array of consultations, surgery and banter.

- Now back to Edinburgh to start the final rotation on farm. Day 1 has been great! There's usually 1 person per group that can hit sheep veins, and turns out that's me.

Now it's sunny, so I'm off to go and revise outside somewhere. Only 8 weeks (ish) until finals. A truly terrifying though.
