Course Description
This course is designed to offer students additional experience in general small animal soft tissue surgery and shelter medicine. Through partnership with Central North Carolina animal sheltering organizations and utilizing the NC State Mobile Veterinary Hospital, students will primarily gain small animal spay/neuter experience and may also perform additional surgical procedures as needed based on animal patient condition and student abilities. Secondarily, students will also provide medical care for sheltered pets including but not limited to primary wellness care, treatment of sick and injured animals and may perform heartworm testing and treatments as needed. This opportunity will consist of an evolving list of external partners that could additionally include community cat organizations and foster care sheltering networks for any given rotation.
