yamamanamaWe have an osprey and a cormorant and a blue jay who did the flight test by himself and passed. We got a painted turtle and we’re in the process of putting brackets and zipties on it. We got a sad raccoon and we painted him red so we could monitor him. Kenzie found a toad and Greg amputated its broken leg.
There’s a mystery cake in the refrigerator and no one knows what it was for.
Amelia loves the smell of iso. It smells like victory.
Christina has a picture of goat powerlifting and Jen said it looked like ballet and that anyone with talent should photoshop a tutu on Len.
All the rooms had hand sanitizer in there and the vets who came to check the place out were only there for two hours and probably didn’t care what the place looked like. While this was happening, a mouse escaped and Sierra was throwing things around trying to catch it. A squirrel bit her and then died.
We had a red-shouldered hawk. We x-rayed him (Christina said "me 'n' my bird.") and learned that not only was his femur broken, and it wouldn’t be so bad if it was just that because we could just pin it, but he twisted it while he was trying to escape from whatever he was caught in. On top of that, he had rodenticide poisoning.
He’d need to perch on both legs and if one of them is permanently broken, he’d just put too much pressure on the good leg and that would be painful.
Alex kept missing the vein or occasionally going through the vein and it took an hour.
While this was happening, Jen brought in a goose with blue gauze covering his face so he looked like a Mexican wrestler (Jacob) or a ninja (Amelia or Cassie. Oh, shit, now I’ve forgotten everyone’s name again)
Jen says a goose can be anything it wants to be.
We have two domestic bunnies who were attacked by something but as far as I can tell, they’re just missing some fur on their faces. We also have Tina and Happy boarding with us and yes, Tina is named after Tina Belcher.
Michelle and her son came in with some greens and one her son found a red-eared slider, they named it Snappy, and they sent it down to live in South Carolina or wherever.
We finally got some good news that didn't require a video and the wildlife center's notoriously fickle wifi. There's a new anti-malaria (in this case, chronic) drug that they've been working on since the 1970s. Since malaria doesn't just involve flu-like symptoms like pretty much every other disease, it involves sweats, headaches, fatigue, anemia, vomiting, edema, liver failure, kidney failure, brain swelling, hemoglobinuria, blood cell clumping, coma, and death. Fun stuff. And since the protozoan typically hangs out in the liver where it can't be reached by other drugs, this is especially great.
I met a tuxedo cat with three legs.
I got The Witchwood Crown new and Journey and Ancient Light used.
I saw a book in Swedish but obviously didn’t buy it. No idea what it’s about or if there’s a translation out there.
burning question: seriously, how is “a taco truck on every corner” supposed to be a bad thing? Especially if you can get tacos al pastor.
