INJURED WILDLIFE
National Wildlife Week is March 13-17. Did you know there's a center dedicated to the care of sick injured wildlife right here in South Central Wisconsin? Veterinarians, technicians, and volunteers (including staff and students from the UW School of Veterinary Medicine) at Dane County Humane Society's Wildlife Center are available to help wildlife in need. If you find a sick, injured, or orphaned wild animal, please call the center at (608) 838-0413, ext. 151, for further instructions. Sometimes complicated cases are referred to the UW Veterinary Care Special Species Health Service, and we are happy to help! 
 

CANINE SKIN INFECTION STUDY
The UW Veterinary Care Dermatology Service is seeking dogs with recurring Staph infections for a clinical study that will try to determine if a particular vaccine helps manage skin infections, thereby eliminating the need for repeated courses of antibiotics. 

Participating dogs will be prescribed antibiotics to treat the skin infection and randomly assigned to receive the study vaccine or placebo (no medication). Following an $80 initial exam, which includes skin swabs and blood tests to determine whether your dog qualifies for the study, there is no charge for follow-up exams.   Learn more.
