Work's been cool, but scary. The scary bit came on Wednesday. We had a puppy brought in to the hospital that was having grand mal seziures, flopping around like a puppy rag doll. We all (techs) leapt on, trying to keep him on the table and not hurting himself. Only then did Dr. Chad mention, "Oh, and this could be rabies.". O.O *curses* None of us were wearing gloves. No one got bit, and the puppy was put down with head to lab, so hopefully there will be no post-exposure rabies shots. *crosses fingers* We'll know soon. I managed to get myself all worked up and sent a worried e-mail to my manager, who now probably thinks I'm a paranoid freak. Ah well. She replied saying that if the results come back positive, nearly everyone in the shelter will have to get those shots. Not be asked, told. As in do you want your job told. *sighs happily* Rabies is dang scary. It's one of the few zoonotic disease where there is no cure or treatment. You get it, you die. End of story. *shivers*
The cool bit is where Dr. Chad let me suture up a dog. Wheee! Took me forever and a day, but I got it done. Chad was probably wondering what I was playing at, taking so long. It's hard to move the little needle with the needle holders! I felt very fumbly. The sutures were partially pulled out today, but I don't feel so bad about it, since I was re-suturing a cut that he had sutured a few days before, so it has a history of ripping back open. Not all of the stitches ripped though, some held. *is happy about that*
On the not-happy-I-have-lost-faith-in-humanity front, we have a cruelty case in the hospital. Will lj-cut for those who really don't want to hear it.
The story: Family with three kids (3-ish, 6ish, and 12ish) get a little kitten. Two pounds of orange purring fluff. Parents went to work, leaving the twelve-year-old boy in charge. 3yr manages to get something on the cat, and 6yr, feeling helpful, dunks kitten in the family pool to clean it off. So far, nothing terrible, just a case of a pool that should be covered with little kids around and a wet kitten. Then 12yr takes over. He decides to tape the kitten's back legs and tail together and alternately dunk the kitten in scalding hot water and the pool. *snarls* Kitten is alive, but not in such good shape. Most of the toes in the back feet have lost feeling and circulation, and will have to be ampuated, along with part of the tail. The kitten is terrified of getting its paws wet, because it thinks it will be drowned again. We had to give it a blood transfusion (kitty's cells got cooked), and may have to give it another. *growl* They're procecuting someone, so someone will answer for this kitten's pain.
Sis has fallen in love with one of the neighborhood cats. She's feeding him (I'm almost sure it's a him - as sure as I can get without actually looking at the pertinant details). She's also feeding the gorgeous dilute tortie and her little kitten. I should trap them and take them to work with me. We're considering adopting sis's cat. It's a stunning long-hair orange tabby. Hmmm... Hey Martha, want a playmate?
*sigh* Artemis, did I say something wrong? You're awful quiet... *sighhopefulpoke*
I'm thiiiiis close to having the first chapter of a Animal Shelter based drama ready for beta. I just can't stand the end. It's... non-endy. Blarg. *beats her word processer with a stick a la Yoda* Workworkworkwork! Heh!
