Today I was scheduled for another day of LA. I saw a cow with a rumenal collapse. The vet allowed me to complete a rectal exam and feel for the rumen. You could actually place your hand over the dorsal sac of the rumen (usually cannot do) and feel the motility. They were able to help the cow be prescribing Magnesium sulfate which soaks up the liquid in the rumen and solidifies the contents to help with the collapse. I also saw a cow with mastitis treated with several antibiotics. At this point I had been in LA for 2 hours and had seen 2 cases... I decided to head up to SA Operating Theatre again. Today I saw a mammary growth removed and a mouth growth that was inoperable get rescheduled for a rostral mandibulectomy. I also saw the set up for a dog which was getting several tumors removed and then using excess skin from the dorsum to replace removed skin. Unfortunately I had to run to lunch. On the way back I saw lots of goats including 5 squeezed into the rickshaw. I also saw a beautiful Indian breed of sheep.
After lunch we had a lesson on public health and zoonotic diseases. It was more interesting than a lot of the more recent talks, but still a lecture. We stopped in as they were closing on a cow surgery. If you check out the photo, they were using a phone camera as a light. We returned back to our hostel. Things have been a little slow this week as far as evenings. Four of us (including our professor, Dr. Subbiah) got food poisoning from the wedding and have been resting from that. Luckily I'm still in the clear. The tailor returned tonight with our sarees. My blouse fit, but some didn't. However we don't really know how to put on the sarees so some students are coming over later in the week to show us.
