Last Tuesday, I toured the Veterinary Health Clinic (VHC) to get a firsthand look at the incredible work our faculty, staff and students do to treat animals that we love. 

During my visit, I watched students gain hands-on experience assisting with an orthopedic surgery alongside faculty clinicians and technicians. 

I also stopped by our Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care facilities and the Motion Analysis Laboratory, which uses equipment similar to what filmmakers use for special effects to address a range of mobility issues. 

The VHC is one of only five veterinary hospitals in the country with a standing CT scanner that can image large animals like horses and cows without the need for general anesthesia. The clinic also houses one of the state’s premiere performance and rehabilitation centers for companion and working animals. These advanced resources, along with many others, provide animals with the quality medical services they need and our students with invaluable learning opportunities. 

When our animals need care, they are in good hands at the VHC.
