The UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the new Advanced Veterinary Surgery Center. This state-of-the-art facility is set to fully open in April 2024, providing top-notch veterinary surgical care to more companion animals and breaking new ground on surgical innovation. With three operating rooms, a radiology suite, and other advanced features, we aim to reduce wait times for surgeries, train more veterinary students, residents, and fellows, and foster collaborative research opportunities across UC Davis.

Tiddles was a 4-year-old Papillon when he was diagnosed in 2011 with a brain tumor. His referring veterinarian gave him approximately 2 months to live. Other documented cases showed that, even with innovative treatments, he would probably not survive more than a year or two. But thanks to research, equipment, and treatments made possible by the donors to the Center for Companion Animal Health, Tiddles beat the odds. He recently turned 15 and is celebrating a decade of being cancer free.
