Sept 18 - Symposium Day 2


Today was our second day of lectures and labs.  This morning Sara presented on gastrointestinal surgery, Liz did spay and neuter and Hillary did fluid therapy.  In the afternoon we split the 30 students into 3 groups for the practical labs.  Liz took a group to practice spay and neuter.  We only did 1 neuter as the spay turned out to be already spayed but it had a huge hematoma on its ear.  The students had never seen that repaired before and were quite excited about it.  A client brought in a dog with double rear dewclaws that needed removal so the students got to do that also.  We practiced surgical knots, putting in IV catheters and injecting in the rear leg vein.  We got done at 7:30pm, had a late dinner and retired exhausted but satisfied with what the students learned.

Prayer Requests:
-         The Muslim students did come back! 
-         Continue to pray for Val’s car to get fixed.
-         The flooding situation in Karamoja is continuing and it is destroying a lot of their crops so there will be a food shortage this winter.
