Day 19

0915: Had material this morning, but nothing to record.

1900: Went back to the farm this afternoon to take some more swabs - this time the farrowing houses were under scrutiny. It was hard to do the piglets - they're even smaller than the growers and finishers, and can't differentiate between being restrained and being killed, so tend to squeal a lot. And, they're cute.

Who could resist?

Went back to the PM room late afternoon, and saw some more interesting cases, including a rottweiler with parvovirus. Thinking that being a veterinary pathologist is actually quite interesting!
