Let’s Weave

I seem to be on a leopard print streak. It might have something to do with the fact that I’ve been working quite a bit as a vet lately - so I have animal print on my mind, as well as a few newly acquired scars. They were ‘souvenirs’ from a most adorable British Shorthair. I may or may not have squeezed him a little too firmly…but they were totally worth it!

Ever since Theodore got sick, I’ve been spending more time reading veterinary literature. There is so much for me to learn and to revise. The joys of discovering something new (for example, which breeds of dogs are more sensitive to pain relief ‘Rimadyl’ tablets, and why short-hair breeds like Staffies, Rottweilers, Bull Terriers and Great Danes are more prone to atopic dermatitis), or in some cases, relearning things I am rusty on (the latest one being why the sedative drug Acepromazine shouldn’t be administered to Boxers). So I started a “Today I learned…” journal and it has been exhilarating!

Aside from learning new things and spending time with cute pets, my favorite part of being a locum vet is catching up with colleagues that I don’t get to see every day. Just today I made a discovery that one of the vets who I went to uni with has a travel blog!

I hope that your new year has been off to a great start. Here’s wishing that your weekend will be filled with love, rest and wonderful adventures!
