Namakkal Day 3 : Clinics + Feed Analysis

We had another day scheduled in the Med ward in Namakkal. Today was a lot better than yesterday, I found a couple of nice students and doctors that were willing to explain what was going on with each case. I saw a few cases of rumenal acidosis and learned a lot about its etiology and treatment. I also got to IM inject a water buffalo, which was crazy with how thick their skin is. you basically have to punch the syringe in.  Over the lunch break we were able to visit the computer lab were we were able to connect to the internet. We got our second exam for this class- a 10 question assignment due Aug 14th, with a minimum of 3 pages for each question. Oh and it's all on topics we have not reviewed in class and would need to research with our spotty and sometimes As a group I think we are all a bit upset. Last year had very minimal assignments and we were even told earlier this trip that it would be only a couple of questions. We plan on talking to Dr. Subbiah when we meet him again in Ooty. 
Our afternoon lab consisted of viewing the feed analysis lab on campus. They primarily tested for microtoxins by utilizing chromatography and other tests. We were able to go back to the hostel a little early to rest. We had a  long series of days and it was nice to have a little time off.
