I am going to start with an extremely rare in a vet's practise event which is c-section in a pig! How lucky I was to be part of the team that time
Here Sandy is preparing a sow for a surgery, as she has been with dystocia for a quite long time-everything had do be performed fast.
Dr Halvorson with Dr Calvert are starting an incision of the abdominal wall

Here you can see the uter
 |
| After taking out every piglet I was taking care of them while the Vets were suturing |
 |
| The piglets were presenting some nervious symptoms as a result of ketamine |
 |
| After surgery the suture was almost invisible, great job! |
 |
| Here babies of another sow |
In Texas a lot of people kept farm animals as their pets so they prefered to spend some more and have their surgery being done in a pain-less cosmetic way.
For instance dehorning or castration...
Here a billy goat receiving premedication

| Ready for a surgery |
 |
| We started with a dehorning |
Then we performed a castration
Another unusual pacient to be castrated :)
It became fashionable to own lamas but unfortunately the climate of an extremely hot and dry west was a dangerous environment for these animals that caused many of them suffer from heat strokes.
 |
| Here with doctor Halvorson, we went for a call where a lama was not getting up for 5 days. After giving her a complete physical exam, with nervous system examination there was no chance for recuperation,eventually we decided to euthanize her. On the same property there were a lot of donkeys minuatures. I was even offered to keep one but how could I take it back home?:) |
