Texas A&M Vet School Open House

Went went to Bryan/CS today for Texas A&M's Vet School Open House. There are tours through out the school including the small animal hospital and the large animal hospital. It was amazing how much is done at this school. The highlight for the girls was the Teddy Bear Surgery. They have the kiddos bring a bear (or other stuffed animal) and let them be in surgery with them. They put them in surgery scrubs and then take them to the small animal O/R. Amanda's bear had a broken arm and Alyssa's bear had a broken leg. They were also doing heart surgery and other sickness on the bears. Really cute and fun.

This was on the gross side and very much on the smelly side. It is a fistulated cow. Everyone one was allowed to glove up and put your hand inside. I passed.

This horse must be the most patient horse ever - both sides of him was painted to nicely!!

It was a good day - the lines were rather long but it was well worth it. If you go - try to go with a Scout troup - they get to go ahead of everyone : )

What is a fistulated cow? Cows with a created hole in their side and stomach wall that has been healed. The hole is plugged when not in use. It is used for research. The cow if healthly and does not hurt her in the least.

Cake of Many Colors

To go along with a study of Joseph - Raymond made us a 'cake of many colors'. The colors were gorgeous and the cake was quite tasty too!!
