Heh, you needed to go to pharmacy school to know everything you need to know for that job!

Isn't Feline Distemper called Feline Paneleucopenia(sp) or something like that? I worked as a vet's aid long years ago (high school) and don't know why that weird name stuck in my head, but it did.

It sounds like you're doing great at dealing with all the new stuff being thrown at you though. I don't see how anybody can keep up with all the names of all the vaccines and medicines for all the different kinds of animals that a vet has to treat. So don't get frostbite standing in the fridge trying to sort all that out! ;o)

Ha, I'll try not to. She does run me ragged with all that she has me do. You're wicked close on the Feline Distemper. It's called Feline Panleukopenia. (I'll confess... I looked it up!) :-p So you're right. I'd never be able to spell the darn thing. I know that the kennel cough is called Bordetella... something-something. I want to call it Bordetella Burgodofi, but I know that B. Burgodofi is Lyme... so that isn't it. Well hell. :-D Next week is going to be wicked busy with spays and neuters... It's the after holiday rush.

Today though, was pretty wild. I want to run some horse things that my boss does that I don't really agree with... 1) She doesn't feed pellets, she feeds beet pulp (what looks like it) and sweet feed. She said that he gains weight on the pellets, so she doesn't feed it to him. But I wonder why she feeds the sweet feed too... In my opinion, he's not working, so he doesn't need it, and it could be a little bit of the reason why he's been so darn hot. I don't agree with her horse handling skills either.... today she was trying to vacuum him, and of course he hated it and was jumping and blowing and being stupid. I was holding him, and he struck out at me, so I let him have a good wallop, and I shouted at him as loud as I could. She got mad at me for doing that. Then he was being more stupid, and so she wrapped her hand in the lead rope when he pulled back! I almost fell on the ground. My brain was screaming "Not safe! Not safe!" She also had me wedged in the corner by the barn and the vacuum, and I was lucky that I didn't get squished.
