Shocking discoveries...

The most interesting thing that I was able to witness this month at mentorship was when a pregnant English Bull Mastiff came into the clinic. The technicians had me look at the x-rays and they found something pretty interesting. There were around 20 puppies in the mother's womb! How crazy is that?! The technician had me count the skulls and spines to see how many puppies I accounted for. I counted 20, but they said there could be more. It was hard to tell from the x-rays the exact number of puppies because they were all squished in there. The technicians had to take two x-rays just to get the full body image of the dog, that's how big it was. They know that some puppies might not survive, but they are hoping for the best.
