Kelly is basically our recovery queen. She spent almost all the time in our recovery room, removing catheters, placing belly bandages, and generally encouraging everyone to wake up as quickly as possible.

Dr. Colleen gives Wolfy an exam. Colleen and Dr. Steele competed to call "dibs" on spays as they came in - nobody wanted to sit around for very long.
Expressing a bladder - when a bladder is full, surgery is a little more difficult. We emptied urine into trash bags that were hung at the end of our surgery tables.
Drs. Dave and Winnie, with vet student Natalie prep a spay. Several of our dogs bled heavily (probably due to tick-bourne erlichiosis) and required two vets to close them up quickly.
Vet student Lisa practices her suture technique, as Dr. Colleen supervises.

Fabulous Lori and her daugher (& son) brought us lunch daily. It was so awesome of them! Good food, too.
Morgan places an IV catheter, while Laurie supervises.
