National Poison Prevention Week, March 17-23, aims to raise awareness of the dangers of poisonings. Emergency and Critical Care clinician Corinne Lawson says toxicities are among the most frequent source of critical care cases seen at UW Veterinary Care. She advises awareness of what common household items are poisonous to pets, where these items are located in your home, and ways to prevent access. If you suspect your pet has consumed a toxic item, contact your veterinarian or the nearest emergency clinic immediately. And do not induce vomiting unless you have been advised to do so by a veterinarian's office.

GLAUCOMA IN SIBERIAN HUSKIES
|
The Ophthalmology Service is recruiting Siberian Huskies for a study of the genetic basis of glaucoma. Past research reveals that the Siberian Husky is one of the more commonly affected breeds of this painful and rapidly blinding disease. This study will harness the power of new canine DNA sequencing tools to try to identify the genetic mutation (or mutations) that cause glaucoma and, in turn, develop a genetic test for the disease in this breed and possibly other affected breeds. Any Siberian Husky with a history of glaucoma qualifies. And Siberian Huskies over 10 years of age are being recruited as healthy control patients.

April holds several opportunities to engage with and support the UW School of Veterinary Medicine and UW Veterinary Care.
April 7, you're invited to our
2019 Open House, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., featuring a walking tour of the hospital, live animals, presentations, interactive booths, and activities for kids. Get an inside look at our life-saving clinical care, world-class veterinary medical education, cutting-edge biomedical research, and the intricate connection between animal and human health.
April 9, we celebrate the
Day of the Badger. On this day of giving, all gifts to
the school's building expansion campaign, to alleviate the significant space challenges currently constraining our teaching, clinical and research programs, will be matched. Gifts of any size make a difference. Save the date and watch our social media for details.
And on April 10, you can join the SVM and alumni and friends at the UW Day at the State Capitol to ask elected officials for support of our building project. If you can't make it in person, you can still have an impact by letting your legislators know that you support this expansion. It's easy to send an email to officials at our Animals Need Heroes Too website
