Ahh, first small animal practical of the year: bandaging!An hour and a half of wrapping poor wee doggies up in lots of cotten wool, and bandages to create a supportive work of art.
The dog to the left is Angus and that big blue thing is my first bandage. (No, he's not dead or even sedated-He's a vet student's dream!). Hoorah. Angus is one of the nurse's dogs and clearly is bored with the whole event, whilst also enjoying the fuss and cheeky biscuits. He's a nine year old springer spanial and has been one of the student's subjects since he was a pup. I'm sure if only they could talk, I'm sure he could tell me exactly what to do step by step!
Here he is post-bandaging: still a happy chappy.
This here is scruff. I think the girls had the good deal here-not only their first bandage, but the smallest I reckon!Now all that's left to do is re-roll out bandages and take them home to attack an unsuspecting flatmate or partner. Watch out!
