Each week we will be highlighting three posts to share what’s new on Instagram for those that do not have an account. Thank you to everyone who has shared with us so far.
Post #1:
“Second year vet student Sophie practices her medicine techniques in the clinical skills lab. “In the lab we had hands-on experience taking blood from the coccygeal vein of a cow and learned how to give intramuscular and subcutaneous injections for the purpose of administering medication or vaccines. Having never worked with Cows before I came to OVC, it’s always an interesting experience interacting with these gentle animals. These labs are a great opportunity to develop our physical examination techniques and prepare for our upcoming clinical skills final.” #ovc2018“
