UGA Vet Day

Okay - so these pics loaded in backwards order, so scroll down to the bottom and then go back up!
We finally made our way to the animals they had outside.  The girls were amazed by the real zebra.  The girls were so funny holding their noses walking through all of the animals.  We left here and then traveled to the "World of Wonder" park in Athens for a picnic lunch and some playtime.  The girls thoroughly enjoyed their day, and we super excited to share our experience with such sweet friends!

The below pic is a horse recovering from surgery.  The put the horse in a large padded room for it to wake up in and lift it on and off the table upside down by it's legs with a huge lift.

After we finished in the "teddy bear surgery" area, we made our way to the real operating building.  We were able to see live surgeries taking place on cats, dogs, and horses.  The Vet doctors even perform surgery on exotic animals, like snakes.  I am not sure why someone would want to do surgery on a snake to save it's life.  We just kill them around here - would definitely not pay $$$ to save one. 

There all stitched up and out of surgery - ready for recovery now.  Good job Doctors!!!

I love the look on Hannah's face here -

Dr. Hannah helps "Mr. Froggy" by holding the oxygen mask on him.

Hannah's thinking, "I'm not too sure about all of this, but whatever....."

Dr. Sarah helped by holding the oxygen mask on "Husky" while the surgeon stitched him up.

Okay, Dr. Sarah and Dr. Hannah are ready to start surgery on their little friends.

Sarah giving "Husky" a shot.

Hannah checking "Mr. Froggy's" temperature.

Hannah checking "Mr. Froggy's" heartbeat. 

Sarah chose to doctor on "Husky" the puppy dog.

This was the "pre-op" area where Dr. Sarah and Dr. Hannah examined their "sick" friends to see what kind of surgery was needed.

We brought "Mr. Froggy" from home, and we chose another stuffed friend who was "sick" and needed surgery while we there. 

Once we finally found the parking deck and made our way down to the festivities, the fun was on!  We started off in the "Teddy Bear Surgery" Area.  We waited in line for about an hour, so the girls occupied themselves by writing on the chalkboard.

I loaded the girls up in the van for an adventure filled day with a field trip to the UGA Veterinarian School for Free Kid Day!  If it's Free- I am there!  We were meeting our sweet friends the Nashes for our field trip.
