My Fiancee, Cindy (Island Cat on the forum) is finishing her Clinical year of Veterinary school at the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO right now. She finishes school in August, and graduates in September.
I take great delight in the joy she experiences as she gains knowledge and works with her patients.
During some of our conversations, she will randomly throw statements out about things she did during the day.
One such conversation happened last night. During the middle of one of our discussions, she said "I stuck my arm up a horse's ass today."..
I felt it was too off the wall to NOT share. It got posted to Facebook, and now here.
It's called rectal or pelvic palpation, has been around for centuries, and is a practice that has evolved to a precise science. It can tell the vet if the animal is newly pregnant, in heat, and any number of other things.

Don... Things just got weird.

Now that right there's funny. I don't care who y'all are!
But Don may not see the humor there....

Ummm... I'm afraid this may come as a rather rude shock to you, but it wasn't Bessie's ass that was being probed.
Actually it is. When they inseminate an equine or bovine, they reach their arm up the animals rectum to manipulate the cervix and guide the sperm probe in. You can actually feel what's going on inside the animal quite well through the rectal wall.

So, for all you fellas who are hoping to sire kids, maybe you should first explain to the young lady just what the hell it is you'll be doing with your hand.

Yep, same for when they palpate to see if an animal is pregnant. You can feel nodules in places-(uterous) -thru the intestinal wall--that aren't present in an unbred horse or cow.
That’s nothing, you should hear the ones Melanie, fierowitch here tells me at the dinner table. In graphic detail about some of the things that happen around here.
This morning for example at the breakfast table she tells me in great detail how my cat, Nut pukes up a hairball the size of a kitten on my computer chair. Now that was no where near as detailed as what she told me as we were eating breakfast. But you get the idea.
And congrats to your girl on getting her vet cert.

My mother was an Emergency Room nurse, and X-Ray tech. My father was an obstetrician and gynecologist. You don't want to know about dinnertime conversations.
