Day 4 in South Dakota: We added dental work to our repertoire. Got to float lots of teeth and work on other techniques in addition to learning about eye, skin, and hoof treatments. #isucvm #equinemedicine #veterinarymedicine (at Crow Creek, South Dakota) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByzFl1RJe1l/?igshid=14c7h1pdgb0ul

Day 3 in South Dakota: Lots of horses, lots of mini horses, lots of PEs, vaccines, castrations, and eye treatments. The little brown horse had posterior uveitis in both eyes (didn’t have time to get pictures), and was foundering 🐴❤️ #isucvm #equinemedicine #veterinarymedicine (at Crow Creek, South Dakota) https://www.instagram.com/p/BywTgYsJMYD/?igshid=18vww9rg6i7kz

-20 F! How cold is that you wonder? Cold enough for #iowastateuniversity to cancel classes for two and a half days. But don’t worry, our thoughtful instructors at #isucvm uploaded their lectures so we can continue chugging right along. 🥶 Yay... he said sarcastically #vetmed #iowa #frozeninplace #veterinarymedicine #veterinarian #polarvortex (at Ames, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtQ2WWwgFYK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1crvvj5vqj1bn

What a great way to spend part of my birthday. The #isucvm chapter of #aabp held a wetlab this morning where we learned how to physical exams, rectal palpation,ruminal tubing, drenching, bolusing, milking, and mastitis testing. Needless to say, it was a great morning 🐮🐄 #vetmed #bovinemedicine #dairymedicine #veterinarian #veterinária #largeanimalmedicine #moo (at Iowa State University Dairy farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpupv7InnKb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fgq2b0t76x69

What people tend to think of when they think of worms is earthworms in apples or at the end of a fishing hook or hiding from a bird. The worms that we have been learning about this semester in parasitology are far more sinister. For instance, Ancylostoma caninum, the canine hookworm. These 1/2 inch long worms have 3 pairs of teeth, are either ingested or acquired by skin penetration as larvae, migrate through blood to the lungs they either make a somatic migration through capillaries to muscle, or a tracheal migration and are coughed up and swallowed, and live as adults in the small intestine feeding on blood and laying eggs. In addition, these bloodthirsty little guys pose a threat to humans, especially humans who don’t wear shoes outside. #vetmed #zoonoticdiseases #parasitology #isucvm #veterinarymedicine #hookworms (at Ames, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnptP71FKxE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ktchy87ml7x8
