Old Dog, New Trick
Surgery lab again today, and I declare, it wasn't entirely my fault this time that I was the last student to leave. Our dog was old and took a long time to warm up and recover from the anesthetic... its metabolism may have been slow.
Our dog also exhibited some strange abdominal-looking breathing (as if it wasn't expanding its rib cage but rather expanding its abdomen to breathe) that garnered extra special attention from the two faculty anesthesiologists. Dr. Mosley said he'd never seen a dog breathe like that. All such variations from the normal are valuable learning experiences.
Tomorrow is our second theriogenology test, so I need to go home and rally my senses to study.

I hadn't even thought about asking you till I came by to check your blog.
And what do you know? Claire is talking about dogs.
Our black lab seems to have a broken tail this evening. What to do?

I'll pull out the ole' surgery text and take a look into it.
