Here are photos of the Blanchard Valley Veterinary Clinic; one of the clinic's I am shadowing/observing at. It is very small, but we have a lot of fun and the staff is really nice.
One of the days that I was there one of the staff 's dogs got into the medicine cabinet and ate two bottles of Rimadyl; which is used for arthritis and pain relief in dogs. So, we had to make the dog, Titan, puke up all the rimadyl that he had eaten. We did this by putting a tablet ampomorphine in the corner of his eye by his conjunctival sac. Now imagine the amount of food and how big a Great Dane's stomach is. Well all that was in his stomach ended up on the floor. It smelled terrible and was everywhere!!
After everything was out of his stomach we then had to force feed him activated charcoal. The activated charcoal is a form of decontamination of the gastrointestinal tract for poisoned patients.
