The first lab neutered Jupiter first, and then we explained the dental instruments and machines. Again, everything went fine.
The second lab is still a week behind, and they spayed Lyra. Everything went according to the normal cat spay. However, at the end, I was holding Lyra for one of the students to take her catheter out and she was upset and tried to escape my hold and ended up biting my hand. She then jumped to the floor and Kim, Dr. Young and Maura had to get her back into her cage while I cleaned myself up. After the students finished cleaning everything and we finally got the catheter out of Lyra and after we graded them, Maura took me to the hospital so I could get antibiotics. It wasn’t a bad bite, so I wasn’t worried about it.
