On Tuesday I got to observe a gray female wiemmear. Who developed a rash around her abdomen, Tracy one of the registered vet techs at the hospital perform a skin test. I helped Tracy by holding the dog's leash while she rubs a piece of tape on both sides of her abdomen since that was where the rash was. Then she put it on a rectangle lens and dipped it a blue, red, and purple liquid. Then put it underneath a microscope. The results from the test show that there were some bacteria and yeast.
The rash is treatable and not too hard to cure. But it does take a while Tracy explained to me that at the minimum the rash will disappear at 3 weeks but it can take longer depending on the rash. Another thing that was discovered on the dog was a tumor that was developing underneath its eyelid. Dr. Stamps explained that the tumor isn't a concern right now but if it continues to grow then it needs to be removed. Another appointment that we had was dealing with a shelter dog named Frick. He was anxious around humans and need to be sedated in order to perform his annual check-up. Which went smoothly and the dog didn't bite anyone dispute how nervous he was.
