| Raul and the Mites |

| Wound Cleaning |
Today was our second day at the clinic, and not much was different from yesterday. My job was to work post-op once again, so it was not a challenge. Today seemed less busy than yesterday, but even though it was a calmer day, there were still some complications.
One dog named Raul came in with some serious ear mites. At first I noticed a clump of small bugs latched onto her ear, which startled me a bit, I cleaned those out and thought that would be the end of it. Unfortunately, I was wrong. As I went deeper into her ear, I found more and more bugs, some as large as a black bean. I spent a long time trying to dig out as many as I could, but I could tell there were more deeper inside that I could not reach with the given circumstances. I feel so bad that she had to live with all those bugs in her ears for who knows how long. I imagine it must've been extremely uncomfortable and I hope the ointment I put inside helped.
