October Post - My First Injection To An Animal

Today I went to my mentorship and I did all the stuff I usually do. I cleaned the kennels, I walked the dogs, I helped with treatments of animals, did the laundry and swept, but later on one of the nurses asked me, "Do you want to inject this cat for me?" I got so excited because this was the first time I have ever injected an animal and of course I said yes. A few weeks ago the nurses taught me how to put the medication into a syringe so I was prepared to do that, but never did I think they were going to let me inject an animal. At first I was nervous to do this because I didn't know whether I was going to put it in right or the animal was going to react crazy, but everything went fine. I felt like an actual veterinarian and I feel like they trust me to do treatments and injections with the animals. Hopefully later on I get to experience more, but today was an exciting day for me. I have learned a lot from my mentorship at the Loma Linda Animal Hospital.
