What do you think of this idea?

During my last rotation through the vmth in livestock services I learned that one effective way to get a significant amount of salt into a goat’s diet is to create a saturated solution of water and salt, and spray it on their hay. Much like gradually increasing the amount of salt/electrolytes present in the mash, […] more
The end is approaching

Just a bit less than 6 hours to go now. I’ve studied, I’ve slept, and I’ve tried to keep some semblance of physical activity in my life on a daily basis. In short, I’ve done everything I possibly can do to prepare for this final. I’ll miss cardioresp with all of it’s simplicity through equations […] more
More procrastination

These pictures were taken a couple of days ago. They illustrate why it is so it’s important to know what’s normal for your horses legs and feel them every day that you see your horse.

And the dear readers want the post to be both educational, useful, AND entertaining? I have just the thing! We shall title this……“How I made […] more

Hi everyone – Thought everyone would like a quick Farley update (while I sit in a pathology lecture of course – but I AM taking notes and paying attention at the same time). Yesterday the leg was much the same, except that I could tell that she was reacting to touch/palapation more on the outside […] more
Fortunately…..but unfortunately…..

Today is a 3 part-er. Brought to you by (or at least temporally at the same time) as “Respiratory Defense Mechanisms and bronchopneumonia”, a lecture that is just not doing it for me this morning. In the “fortunately….but unfortunately…” story that seems to mimic both real life and endurance, this morning was the “best of […] more
