Animal surgery at the AK????

[maddhatir]

My husband and i were talking to a AK CM a few years back-- we were looking through the veterinary hospital huge window and the CM told us they do surgery on a particular day of the week and it was interesting to watch it through the window---

does anyone know what day it is they schedule surgery?? we cant for the life of us remember what morning it was.

Thanks

BUMP for an answer. I'd be interested in this too!

I was there on the 11th and they were "fixing" a gekko (or it might have been a lizard). I didn't see a schedule, but not sure if there even is one. Maybe just luck of the draw...

We watched them operating on an ostrich once.

I'm sure there is not a set schedule for anything but routine exams. I know they do have the day's schedule up on a board by observation window, so maybe you could go to Conservation Station and check it first thing in the morning.

My son and I got to watch an exploratory laprascopy on a cheetah a few years ago! They explained that she'd been throwing up a lot and were looking to see if they could figure out why.

There is a particular day they do scheduled procedures I think it is Wednesday but not sure. What I do know is if you want to see something you should get to conservation station early they do the procedures first thing in the morning. I am a nurse and any medical procedure even one on animals interests me but I have never made it to see anything being done.
