That sucks. I'm fairly certain the policy here (at least for large animal, not sure about small) is to always have at least two people in the hospital, probably at least in part for that reason. I hope she doesn't get in too much trouble :/Yeah, all of our overnight/weekend stuff is solo. For equine, there is usually a tech there on weeknights but other than that you're dealing with horses alone.
For her shift specifically, she was sitting in a room watching a parvo puppy in isolation via a live camera. Can understand why you would doze off if you're just sitting at a table and not allowed to leave from 1AM-8AM, but still not a good situation.
