Another day in the large animal barn! The day (mostly) was a lot of fun. It started out with me trying to get near a zebu steer, and almost losing a body part in the process. But I had to get a picture with him! We don’t have these kinds of awesome cattle at home.

We saw a few horse cases. The first was of a bay stallion with an abscess on his neck from an injection that was pretty impressive. The second was a stallion with colic. He was the sweetest horse, and he kept wiggling his lips across the metal bar of his stanchion to keep himself entertained. We also saw a mare with pretty significant saddle sores that was pretty upsetting (due to how extensive the sores are).

Our favorite buffalo came in again, along with her not-so-cooperative friend. She let us scratch her head and take videos of her. I found out she is in because of some mastitis problems (meaning she has an udder infection and isn’t milking well).
