As a third-year veterinary student, I have a rotation at a different veterinary facility every two weeks.

Widely available for sunburn, 99% aloe vera gel can be used to fill a laceration defect before clipping.

A big challenge at our busy hospital is keeping everyone up-to-date on hospital changes.

Our explanation of tapering schedules for glucocorticoids often confused our clients.

We needed a way to support dogs that are nonambulatory or very weak in the hindlimbs, so I made slings by rolling up the main torso parts of old surgical gowns and wrapping them in Vetrap (3M).

Just before performing venipuncture in front of a patient's owner, I always ask the owner a question that will elicit a long answer.

We have always had trouble using ink to label the plastic bottles in our exam rooms and lab areas (e.g. alcohol, peroxide, lubricant).

We keep the cages of our laterally recumbent patients heavily padded, but these patients are hard to keep dry and clean.

We have adapted NBC's hit reality show "The Biggest Loser" for our canine patients.
