My first surgical procedure!

Today at work I got to do something way cool! The vet I was working with has a relative with a dog that had a small pea sized growth on its' back. The vet let me remove the growth! I put on sterile gloves and got the instruments all ready. I used a scalpel and some surgical scissors and, under his supervision and instruction, I got to do the procedure. Way cool! The vet also taught me how to do sutures and he let me try one but since it was his family members' dog he wanted to make sure it looked good so he did them and I watched. I was so excited and kinda nervous when he said I could do it and I'm so glad I had that opportunity!!
