Work Experience: Dairy Farm

Saturday was a busy and diverse day on the farm. 

We castrated and dehorned around 10 calves, as well as milking. However, the highlight was definitely seeing a calf being born. Instead of writing about the experience I thought I would upload the video that I took.

To watch the whole video you may have to download it. Also up until 1:30 minutes the video is me and my friend talking and trying to find out what we could do to help.

Work Experience: Vet Practice

Friday was a very busy day for me, so I only had chance to go to the vets for my appointment with my guinea pig. The week before I had been giving her antibiotics, banana flavour, morning and evening. However, after a week her right eye was still quite red and swollen (but definitely not as bad as the previous Friday). After another check up by the vet, Peanut was prescribed eye drops. 

These eye drops had to be applied every 4-6 hours until the coming Friday. Due to my school routine I have had to apply them in the morning, straight after school and before I go to bed. Her eye looks a lot better than Friday, but I'm still a bit worried about it. I think Suzanne was expecting to see a much better improvement before Friday but there hasn't been too much of a change. However, I will let you know how the story of my guinea pig's eye progresses. 

Side Note

I'm sorry that I've been really rubbish at uploading blog posts recently (revision and homework have taken over my life). Hopefully I will be getting back into the flow of things and you can expect at least two more blog posts by Wednesday. Thank you so much for reading!
