UW Veterinary Care has signed agreements with dozens of Wisconsin law enforcement agencies to give police dogs the very best veterinary medical services possible at discounted rates. This new effort has helped relieve a major burden on budget-crunched K9 units and has kept dogs like Harlow (pictured above) healthy and working hard in the field.
Do you have a question about one of your pets? Don't be shy -- we want to hear from you! We recently launched a new column called "Ask a UW Veterinarian," which appears in each issue of our magazine, On Call. We invite you to send us your animal-related questions; if your submission is chosen, one of our veterinary medical specialists will provide an answer, and both the question and answer will be printed in the next issue. So go ahead and ask away -- our veterinarians are at your disposal! Please send your questions by April 25 to our On Call editor.
The UW Veterinary Care Radiation Oncology Service is seeking dogs with osteosarcoma, the most common bone cancer in dogs and children, for a study of the effects of stereotactic radiation therapy. This new approach delivers more precisely targeted, higher doses of radiation in fewer treatments, which may provide better pain relief with fewer side effects. The study will also evaluate the effects of the treatment on the immune system, potentially helping to prolong life. For qualifying dogs that participate in the study, there is no cost for radiation therapy.Learn more.
