DOG ATE A SCREW 🔩 | A Week in My Life as a Vet Assistant 🐾

Good morning y'all. Welcome or welcome back to my YouTube channel. So our first patient of the day is Maverick as you can see and he ate a screw. So we went ahead and took some x-rays just so we can make sure that the screw was in his stomach so that we can make sure that he can throw it back up. So we administered some apomorphine which should make him nauseous and allow him to vomit everything back up which is exactly what's happening right now. So he had a pretty big breakfast so he threw that right back up and as we can see he might have eaten other things some paper as well but here is the screw that he ate. So our next patient is going to be Annie who's here for a foreign body which means that she ate something that she was not supposed to. So as you can see I am icing her incision just to make sure that there is no swelling there. She also seems to be panting a lot which is due to her discomfort and pain so we did give her some medication to soothe her pain. Our next patient is going to be Loki who's here for the same thing as Annie also eating something that we're not supposed to. So this is us post-surgery. So I'm just making up some food for Loki because he was also having some diarrhea so as you can see I'm going to be adding some probiotic to his food just to help with the loose stool that he seems to be having and then I'm going to go ahead and mix it up and yeah that should help him out with the diarrhea that he's been having. Probiotic are typically pretty good for those type of things and I'll go ahead and feed it to him and he ate it pretty well as you can see he's going crazy. Go Loki! Our next patient is going to be Honey which was one of the doctor's pet who was only here for some blood work. Next we have a little guinea pig who was brought in by PetSmart and he's looking so cute. So up next we have a cat named Charming who's here for arrhythmia. I always have a hard time saying this word but it's pretty much an abnormal beating of the heart so we're just monitoring that through the ECG. You can see I'm just kind of dog sitting until my tech comes back so I'm just watching over this little baby. So I'm making up some meds now again for Loki. If you guys remember Loki, I'm just making it into a meatball so he can eat that. He's so cute. If you guys are wondering what happened to his ear, he just had a pretty bad surgery where they cropped his ear but it wasn't done with us. Up next is Kujo who's here for having some bloody diarrhea. As you can see he's super nervous. We're just taking some x-ray just to make sure he didn't eat anything crazy that's causing the diarrhea. Laura is up next. She is a sweetheart also here for possibly eating something. As you can see this is a pattern. Most of our patients here today are here for eating something and she was so sweet giving me kisses. So as you all may know this is emergency so some patients are mine and some patients are not mine so therefore sometimes I come up to some patients and I take very cute videos of them but I actually don't know their names and don't know what they're here for. So please enjoy the next few patients that I'm going to be showing you guys whose names I don't know but I thought they were super cute and I just wanted to capture the moment. Alright back to my patients. So we have Pepper here who got caught in a fence and has a pretty big laceration and we were able to fix that up for her but I do not have a video of the results. Next is Milo who's a little puppy who had surgery and then we have Mia who had diarrhea. It was bad. Oh my gosh it was bad. The cleaning was horrible. Next up is Sky who's here for some seizures and the side eye is crazy but the tail is wagging. She did not want to come out of her cage for nothing but as you can see this is going to be me trying to take some vitals. I'm just checking her mucus membrane just to make sure they're nice and pink and moist and then I'm going to follow it up with a nice hug and then some vitals of the heart rate. So I just want to make sure that her heart rate is nice and normal not too fast not too slow and she's looking so cute. Look at her just panting and then we got a weight to make sure that her weight is consistent and we're just monitoring her heart rate as well because she is in a seizure watch. Next up is Zara. I'm taking her out for a walk and we have this little gated area where they can just kind of run a while and she's looking so cute. I just have cute patients all around. All of my patients are cute and this is me just cleaning myself off every single time. I think this was Sky on me to be honest. Her fur was all over me so that's just me cleaning myself up before the end of the day y'all. Our first patient this morning is going to be Hudson who presented for having lepto which is a virus that is pretty contagious through his urine which is why he has a urinary catheter and there's a bag attached to that. Next is this little puppy who is super super cute. I have no idea what it's here for but it was really cute. Next we have this chocolate lab who has an abscess under his chin. You can see it's it's pretty big so we ended up having to shave that. Look at him he's so cute. Our next patient is going to be Brie which is a Frenchie who was having some back pain so we needed to take some x-rays just to make sure that everything was okay. She was a pretty difficult patient so we did have to give her some drugs to sedate her so we just made sure that she had oxygen on standby and here are her x-rays. To be honest I'm not quite sure what her x-rays are showing us. Typically if it's something obvious we would be able to tell right away but for something like that we're just going to send it over to a radiologist to let us know what's going on there. So up next we have a chinchilla that presented for respiratory distress so we ended up putting the chinchilla in oxygen and monitoring his breathing. Pinky and Brain are our next patients which are some stray cats that we're just watching until the shelter comes to pick them up. Next we have a husky that was brought in by animal control unfortunately it looks like it might have been abandoned but he has a pretty bad laceration on his back which looks like it could have been from a harness or a leash that might have been left on for too long. So we're just shaving the area and making sure to clean it up a bit so that the doctor can have a clear view of that laceration so that the doctor can go ahead and close up that wound. As you can see this is the final result. This is the laceration all closed up and he is a happy happy puppy. He was so cute. He was in such good spirit. So this brings us to the end of my shift so I changed so that I wouldn't be going home in dirty scrubs and now I'm just going to head out. Thank you guys so so much for watching. I hope you guys enjoyed today's video.
