This is what we called anterior lens luxation. The zonules that hold the lens in place behind the iris ruptured, likely due to swelling from the cataract, and the lens fell forward through the iris and is trapped. These are ocular emergencies and need to be treated immediately. Without treatment the trapped lens can cause the intraocular pressure to sky rocket causing blindness. The green crescent of tapetum shining above the lens is called the aphakic crescent and is pathognomonic for anterior lens luxation.

Things you need to hear as a Vet (Student)

This crap is hard. Don’t forget your goal and if you ever do forget it, forget it in the presence of wine and friends and snacks. Then the next morning, think about how all this knowledge isn’t only going to be helping you ace your exams, think about how it will enable you to make the best decisions for your future patients.

It’s impossible to know everything although you will feel like you should. Whether or not you try, at least know when to stop jamming in more knowledge and learn to prioritise. Somethings aren’t worth losing other things over. Don’t feel bad when you don’t know the answer to an obscure question. This profession will never stop teaching you things.

This is not glamorous and things will get messy and hard. That’s okay. Throw your scrubs in the wash after those anal glands expression and a good long shower to get all the mud out of your hair when you were wrestling cows. Then get into the sofa and get your book and study on. 

Cry in the bathroom if you must. Don’t do it in front of clients or teachers. You can do it.

Stay humble and don’t get overly confident - mistakes will happen. Know what you know and what you don’t know. Be eager to learn.

Enjoy this. That feeling you get when you see people cuddle their pets when they get them back after surgery, or that relief that they’ll have their animal a little while longer and it was just a scare. Be grateful for people coming to you with their pets because they care.

It’s okay to not know why you would ever want to be a vet while you’re trying to jam in over 1000 pages on anatomy or pharmacology. It’s okay to hate vet school. It’s okay to have days where you hate being a vet. But that thing right there? Inside you, somewhere halfway your spine that is pushing you forward? Keep that and nurture it. It’s you caring. Caring about the profession, about the animals, about the clients. It’s caring about being a good person and of feeling that the best way for you to do that here, on this clump of dirt, is to be a vet.

First intention

wound edges are approximated and held in place (ex. sutures) until healing occurs

wound is easily closed and dead space is eliminated

Second intention

occurs with injuries that have tissue loss 

require gradual filing in of the dead space with connective tissue

Third intention

involves delayed primary closure 

occurs with wounds that are intentionally left open for several days for irrigation or removal of debris and exudates

wound is closed by first intention once debris has been removed and inflammation resolves

This radiograph shows Ankylosing spondylosis or spondylosis deformans between the vertebrae L2 and L3. The dog was a 9 year old German Shepherd male, had paraplegic hind limbs and was incontinent. 

Ankylosing spondylosis is a condition where the ventral portions of two adjacent vertebrae form a bridge causing a chain like structure. Mostly it goes unnoticed  because it causes no damage except making the spinal cord less flexible. Usually dogs develop this at a later stage  in life and hence owners mistake it to be a case of weakness from growing old. 

The general treatment mostly includes careful use of steroidal or non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs and regular exercise.
