Sorry it has been a while since my last post! Time here at Saginaw Valley Equine Clinic is flying by. I can't believe we are in the sixth week of our fellowship here. Over the past couple of weeks, I have had the opportunity to work on my handling skills with plently of fractious patients. We currently have a lot of post-surgery patients in the clinic, giving me opportunities to work on my treatment administration. While I have not had many opportunities to scrub in on surgeries, I did get the chance to scrub in on an arthroscopy on a horse with a steroidal joint infection following a joint injection. I absolutely loved being about to view the joint from a different angle than the usual radiographic views. Although the past few weeks have been trying at times, I am more sure every day that I want to work in equine medicine for the forseeable future and can easily see myself specializing in sports medicine.
Hopefully this week I will write my blog post in a more timely fashion so I can give more case details!
