Guts and eyeballs!

Not a whole lot has happened in the past week since we had two exams which kept me pretty busy. We did have a small animal ophthalmology lab last week though. It was fun actually doing all the things we've learned about in class - checking pressures (the tono-vet is awesome), schirmer tear test, direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy, and a few other things. I've always really liked ophthalmology (that was going to be my second option if I didn't get into vet school) but looking in the back of the eye is definitely more complicated than I thought it would be! Especially when you can't tell a dog to look right at you ;)

The only other excitement from these past two weeks was doing a resection and anastomosis on real intestines. It's way more intense than I imagined it would be, but the outcome is really satisfying! It just looks so pretty when you're all done :D And then you leak check it and nothing comes out and you're all like...boom shakalaka :)
