While Denmark may not have been my favorite stop of the trip, working in clinics was definitely one of the highlights of the whole experience. I was working in the Copenhagen Animal Hospital which is about a 19 doctor clinic that is mainly for secondary opinions and specialty work. I was very nervous going in on the first day and very happy that Brittney was there with me so at least we had each other. As soon as we go there all of the staff was very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable. They immediately let us observe whatever we wanted and even had us help with a lot of procedures. Some of the procedures we were able to see were an enucleation surgery on a small little dog who unfortunately came in contact with an angry barn cat and was scratched in the eye all the way down to the lens. After the surgery was removed they allowed us to dissect the eye in order to see the structures of an eye as it is unpreserved. We also saw many different dental procedures from one of the few dental specialist in Denmark. On dental surgery was a small dog with a cyst that had grown so big several teeth had to be extracted, including careful extraction of a lower canine that could have caused the lower jaw to break since the cyst had eaten away so much bone. The canine was successfully removed without causing any other damage. Also while we were there we had Dannish bread for lunch which was very heavy and had interesting flavor.
Tivoli was a blast. It was so much fun to run around and ride as many rides as possible. We were riding everything we could and I even faced my fear of a ride I have never been on but my friends got me on it and I'm pretty sure they got a good kick out of my screams. Our visit to Tivoli was by far one of my favorite days in Copenhagen.
