Its only Tues and this week at work has alredy been so depressing it started off badly 9.15am we had a great dane bitch brought in a a really bad way it turns out that she had had 2 live puppies on the Saturday and nothing since as the guy was a farmer he thought he knew what was best for the dog so he gave her 2 lots of oxytocin (a drug that encourages the uterus to contract) and left her well that was a huge huge mistake as when we x-rayed her she had 2 dead puppies still inside her uterus so we did a immediate caesarian but unfortunately she had a tear in her uterus so all the crap from the dead puppies had been poisoning her and died on the table despite the fact there were 2 vets and 2 nurses trying to revive her we were all so gutted and upset. After that all the animals that walked through the door seemed to need putting to sleep through illness/old age. I am often so exhausted emotionally at the end of the day as one minute im on a high as we have managed to save an animals life and the next minute we are all in tears cause something has died or had to be put to sleep but im truly gratefull for having a truly rewarding job.
