Photo essay: Going under the knife
Roundup Staff
Lucas, a 1-yearold Doberman/ German Shepard mix, is currently recovering from a major life-altering operation.
His journey was guided by students, faculty and staff as they prepped the canine, performed surgery and comforted Lucas during his recovery.
The furry friend was brought in by his owner to be neutered, a procedure that renders male dogs sterile by surgically removing the testes.
Lucas was treated with tender attention upon arrival.
In less than two hours, the drowsy pup was resting comfortably in the recovery section-sans his testicles. His prognosis is excellent and the veterinary training given to the students will prove invaluable as their pre-vet education continues and they help more dogs just like Lucas.
