Gratitude

Sometimes it's the little things in life that we're thankful for-like cows, chocolate and cats! Students, faculty and staff from the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine express what makes them grateful.

Back to the Wild

Witness the release of a bald eagle back to the wild, thanks to a dedicated team of volunteers at the California Raptor Center and clinicians at the UC Davis veterinary hospital. The bird was found in Shasta County and required two months of healing and rehabilitation before it was set free.

Horse Syndrome Linked to Autism?

UC Davis equine veterinarians, tracking the cause of a set of bizarre and sometimes lethal behaviors in newborn horses, suspect the disorder is caused by the foals’ failure to fully transition from the womb to the conscious world. They’ve discovered a simple treatment for the syndrome and are now working with colleagues in human medicine to explore possible links to autism in children.

Physicians, Veterinarians team up to Fight Cancer

As far as researchers can tell, cancer in humans is similar to cancer in dogs, which has allowed UC Davis veterinarians and physicians to team up and find better treatments for humans and pets diagnosed with cancer. Nowhere is better placed to develop those links than UC Davis, home to the nation’s top-rated School of Veterinary Medicine as well as our nationally designated Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Pint the Dog Tours Veterinary Hospital

Pint the dog, owned and trained by a UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine faculty member, retrieves the kick-off tee at UC Davis football games. Come along with him as he explores the UC Davis veterinary hospital, the largest and most advanced veterinary hospital in the world.

One of a Kind: Boaz Arzi

Whether pioneering a new clinical treatment or surfing the waves, veterinary surgeon Boaz Arzi is one of a kind. He helped develop a technique to regrow jawbone in dogs, but says surgery and surfing have a lot in common—when you are in the moment, you are completely focused and nothing else matters.

Tracking Oiled Pelicans

In May of 2015, an oil pipeline just north of Santa Barbara, California ruptured and spilled 100 thousand gallons of thick oil along a 10-mile stretch of coast. Some of the affected marine mammals and birds died, but many others were recovered and rehabilitated. The Oiled Wildlife Care Network attached GPS tracking devices to 12 brown pelicans to find out more about their recovery.

Principles of Community

We recognize that each of us has an obligation to the School of Veterinary Medicine community of which we’ve chosen to be a part. We strive to build a true community of spirit and purpose based on mutual respect and caring.
