Trust me...I'm ALMOST a Doctor!


This is a picture of my necropsy group. We preformed a necropsy on an 8 year old dog last week who was euthanized due to acute dyspnea. I won't get into all the gross details, but it was pretty fun. Also this past week I learned how to tie square knots, a surgeons knot and a miller's knot. We need to learn these techniques early so that in 6th and 7th semester we will know how to properly suture, and tying knots is a huge part of surgery. Its still weird to think that I will be a surgeon! Ha...kinda scary but also really awesome!


I hope everyone has a great weekend!! Did that snow melt yet ;)
