Most of my classmates told me that food animal nursing would be quick and easy, I'd be done with the shift in about an hour. Again, like when I had my E-team shadowing shift, they were wrong! I was lucky enough to see several patients in C-barn and assist with PM treatments while we were waiting for the surgery technician to show up. There were several goats in the barn, mostly with post-kidding complications (kidding=giving birth in goat terms) and one older pygmy goat that had recently stopped eating. There was a ewe (female sheep) and her lamb, in addition to a Pot Belly pig.
Two gorgeous baby Boer goats were born via C-section. They were both girls. I got to watch and help with the surgery. It was very exciting, I remember the anticipation like it was my sister having a baby or something. I was so stoked!
