Day 34: Recovering Patients

Today went back to being a slow day—most of it was spent cleaning around the hospital, doing chores and cleaning tools/equipment.  There were a few nail trims and wellness tests we attended to throughout the day, but not very many.  When I wasn’t helping with these few appointments, I was washing food and water bowls, litter boxes, and cages, sweeping and mopping the floors, washing/disinfecting surgical tools, and cleaning the stray cat ward and giving all the cats and kittens new blankets, food, water, and toys.  Ippy and Mack were both still in the recovery room recovering from their surgeries yesterday; both of them seem to be doing a lot better!  They both were still resting, of course, but they both seemed a lot happier than they were yesterday.  We also had a little terrier named Roxy come in sometime last night who has pancreatitis.  She must have been doing very well, because she was able to go home later in the morning.
Mack right after waking up from a nap (his tail is wrapped because he was having bloody diarrhea [common happening after a dog gets its stomach un-twisted], so we wrapped his tail so that the mess wouldn't get on his tail).
