Thank you to everyone that came to our first CVA Skills Workshop!

We will be posting our official recap tomorrow.

Today our Practicum in Veterinary Medicine Students were able to spend the day at a skills workshop with the Texas Veterinary Medical Association. We learned and mastered skills that brought us a step closer to earning our CVA certification.

We remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the courage of the first responders who answered the call.

Among them were search-and-rescue dogs and the veterinary professionals who cared for them, working alongside their human partners in an extraordinary response.

We remember their service, sacrifice and unwavering dedication. 🐾🇺🇸

Great information for pet owners!

Did you know that even small wounds can attract parasites like the New World screwworm? Checking your pet regularly for cuts, scrapes, or other wounds—and seeking prompt veterinary care if something doesn't look right—can make all the difference. If you have questions about protecting your pets or recognizing the signs of New World screwworm, talk with your veterinarian. They're your trusted partner in keeping your pets healthy.

Pet owners can find more information on protecting their pets here:https://www.tvma.org/Portals/0/Images/Advocacy/Issues-Advocacy/tvma-25-public-screwworm-flyer.pdf
