Photo Gallery: A day at the JCU Veterinary Emergency Centre & Hospital

November 1, 2013
Susan Logan, BS, CVT

Check out a day in the life of the veterinary team at JCU Veterinary Emergency Centre & Hospital.

When Susan Logan, BS, CVT, visited Australia earlier this year, she not only found a great opportunity to volunteer with Dr. Caroline Mann. (Read more about Dr. Mann's work here.)Logan also visited the James Cook University Veterinary Emergency Centre and Hospital in Douglas, Queensland, which opened in January 2009, where she recorded a day in the life of the veterinary team.

Yes, you read this sign correctly. In northern Queensland, Australia, there is such a thing as a tick that can paralyze its host.

Veterinary nurse Trudy Holt (who volunteers as a wildlife “carer” with North Queensland Wildlife Care Inc.) bottle feeds a young Australian possum that looks nothing like the common Virginia Opossum found in the United States. Each day Trudy brings her purse-of-possums to work with her at the JCU veterinary hospital. Each baby marsupial is held happily and securely in its own little bag. The bag made of cotton keeps the baby possum, bandicoot or wallaby warm (they are born both helpless and hairless) and feeling as secure as they might in their own mother’s pouch. When there is a neonate that is very young, it’s not unusual to find that one of the babies inside its pouch inside a wildlife carer’s shirt. As a former wildlife carer, I can attest that it’s a great way for both the baby and the human “mom” to keep warm on a cold day! Learn more here .

The TPLO Afghan hound’s post-operative radiographs look good, and he is carefully transferred to a cage in the treatment room for recovery.
