2011/03/14 1st Heartbroken changeover and vet vocational day

After saying goodbye to my first host family with tears, I was going to meet the next host family. When I saw Warwick and then I realized immediately, ha! Everything will be very ok; he looks so nice, so kind!

Next day was my vocational day. I had a short internship in Holroyd Vet Clinic. Jim showed me lots of professional works, including how to cure itching (a golden retriever), how to remove the tumor under skin from a cat, how to do castration surgery for a cat……etc. There was a 15 year-old cat that was very sick for a long time and his belly is getting swollen. After checking again and again, vets just knew there was something wrong with his kidney functions. In order to make sure what happened to this cat, they decided to open it. As a result, one side of his kidneys got stock, so urine could not drain out. That’s why his kidney became so big. Vets thought it was very difficult case because only kidney transplantation can save him. However, it’s too hard and risky for such an old cat, so they phoned his owner to decide to wait for surgery or euthanasia…It’s a difficult decision, isn’t it?
Then, Alan took me to the Central Garden where keeps several Australia native animals, such as wallabies, kangaroos, emus and cockatiels. Alan is the vet in the Central Garden to check animals’ healthy condition. There were many people had picnic there, but I still can feel animals look very relax and happy. Australians respect animals and share environment with animals, there is no doubt about people always say that Australia is the paradise for animals.

Friendly Holroyd Vet Clinic
