February
saw a change to the normal Veterinary Training Camp. The whole team were in the
Dominican Republic for a neutering campaign on behalf of Animal Spay and NeuterInternational. In collaboration with Animal Balance and Pets Breeding Control.
Drs Aurelian And Petrisor Stefan spent time with local vets performing and teaching surgical
techniques which are particullarly applicable when working with stray dogs
where a minimally invasine technique and quick complication free recovery is
vital for survival on the street.
Ruth
Osborne spent time with 1st year vet student Raul Morrilo And Nancy Ines Ramirez Castillo
They
were learning about anaesthesia and preparation of the patient. In no time at
all they were able to intubate any size dog with no assistance whether it was
upside down or the correct way up. Rauls IV skills and injection technique
score a 10 out of 10 and we are confident they are going to be central to
future neutering campaigns in the Dominican Republic.
