Taumarunui Vet Clinic

Hello Again,

Sorry for the delay, we’ve been busy as here at the Taumarunui Vet Clinic. 

Jared and I are both working, doing a little bit of everything from smallies to beef and sheep, even the odd 

goat. 

From the very hairy patients

 

To the very hairless

We’re really enjoying it here because we have a great team- all girls except Jared! But he does pretty well tolerating the hen house. I think he got used to it during vet school. We work with one other vet- Carin, the owner, one vet nurse, an office manager and three rotating receptionists. Most mornings we sit down for morning tea and the odd afternoon tea, too. I can get used to this, we've gotta bring this trend back to 

Canada.

Jared at his desk....is that Facebook? 

We just finished a busy week on call. Carin told us at the start of the week that “she hardly ever gets called in during the week.” Well, we got called in every night and even had multiple calvings the one night. So much for that! We must have angered the “On-Call Gods” somehow.

Funny story this morning- Jared and I went out to a calving this morning at the end of a windy, twisty road. It was raining cats and dogs as it does here, and the heifer was down. We got her frog-legged and Jared reached inside. He started looking around and asked: "Is there a calf running around somewhere?" Sure enough, the farmer did a head count and found one lying in some tall grass. So we treated her like a down cow- easiest calving I'll ever do! 

Until Next Time!
