Construction and traffic update: Work on the UW School of Veterinary Medicine’s building expansion project has begun. In preparation for the ongoing construction, traffic to the small and large animal hospitals has been routed over a new bridge across Willow Creek. Hospital access will now be from the west; all clients will turn on Walnut Street and then onto Linden Drive, ending at the small and large animal hospitals. Please visit our website for detour updates. We thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to serve you better. These new and expanded facilities will more than double the size of the small animal hospital and significantly improve the large animal hospital, reducing space shortages, improving client access to clinical expertise, and reducing wait times for high-demand specialty services.

Ready to Serve
When Chris Snyder assumed the role of associate dean for clinical affairs and teaching hospital director this June at the UW School of Veterinary Medicine, he came full circle on a journey that began 16 years ago. Thrilled to serve veterinary patients, practitioners, and students in training, he follows more than a decade of leadership from Ruthanne Chun.

Some Bunny to Love

Did you know that rabbits can respond to their name and learn to do tricks? Though not as popular as dogs and cats, bunnies are beloved pets for many. Kurt Sladky, clinical professor of zoological medicine, spoke with Wisconsin Public Radio's Larry Meiller about properly caring for rabbits and other exotic pets, and why they make great companions.

Bladder Cancer Risk Factors

The Small Animal Internal Medicine and Oncology Services are recruiting dogs of any breed with bladder tumors for a study that aims to determine whether urinary exposure to certain environmental chemicals contributes to bladder cancer risk in dogs, and whether owners of dogs with bladder cancer have similar urinary chemical exposures.

GREAT NEWS!! Dr. Turek called Today to let me know that Remy is all clear! … By far the most impressive veterinary clinic I have ever worked with! And never once did we feel pressured to do anything unnecessary. For now the only thing prescribed by the vet is a good dental cleaning and a big hug and a kiss! I’ll take it!

Lucas had a very busy week. He had 3 days of appointments @uwveterinarycare to try and figure out why he keeps getting pneumonias, and he was a trooper through it all! … He also won over pretty much everyone he encountered during his visits. We're lucky to live so close to such an amazing vet school/hospital with all of the latest technology!
