Yesterday my vet science class and I went on a field trip to the Willow Street CTC where we watched four spay procedures be done and a dog get an x-ray done. We were walked through the routine and schedule of the facility and also every thing that we watched, surgery, recovery and x-ray, all steps were thoroughly explained and exemplified to us in a very nice, professional but laid back manner. We watched procedures that we have already been walked through in our class and it very much helped us with our learning as I am a visual learner and this just rounded off these lessons.

For our one assignment we had to right an essay with the full list and pictures to the procedure of a spay and a neuter, which we watched these procedures be preformed. Also we saw restraints that we learned in class be preformed. Lastly we learned how to brush and clean teeth and we saw this procedure be preformed at CTC.

Yesterday I learned that CTC isn't just for construction and welding and things like that but also for vet science and reproductive sciences which I think are really cool to learn. Also I learned that you could bring your pet to school there and groom or do whatever your doing that day. Lastly, I learned that at that location, you stay with the pet that was under anesthesia for at least 10 minutes after it can fully function again, which I though was cool that they have that much precaution to the welfare of animals when they have no liability or experience.
