it's been a really busy morning, even though the clinic was supposed to be closed. two emergencies came in at the very same time at about 9. the first was a pit bull that got out of the yard that night, and when she came back the front part of her bottom jaw was almost completely torn off. she looked ok, just in pain and not moving much. the other one was a fluffy puppy that got its neck slammed in a door. she sighed every now and then, but other than that she wasn't really breathing, and limp. the owners were all totally freaking out, and pacing, and on the verge of tears. all i could do was comfort them the best i could while we were waiting for the doctor to get there. we don't know they're either one is going to live, but at least they're still alive. XD i watched the doctor put wire around the pit bull's teeth to keep the bone from moving. he could move it back and forth like it was on a hinge, ew. and you can't really do much for the puppy but put it in a cage and see if she gets better. o.O then i helped the doctor take care of the horses. they got lots of shots and vitamins and irrigation! one has a deep gouge that's over a foot deep into her leg. the doctor shoved this huge long pair of forceps in there and he still hadn't reached the end. ewww. gruesomeness is fascinating.
