Bleeding Wing

One of the Adult females as a bleeding wing. I'm not sure if she knocked it, or the other female has been pecking at it. It seems to be ok now, and has stopped bleeding.

Work Experience

I've done a few days of work experience this week at a vets in Bourneville, about 35 minutes away.
I've seen a lot of operations and sat in on consultations. There were a lot of castrations/spays, and lots of people coming in for booster vaccinations.

There was only really 2 emergencies which came in, a puppy with parvo virus, and a spaniel with its leg cut open. I saw a few animals being put to sleep, which isn't nice, but has to be done.
