BIG LIFT. A new miniature horse lift will help Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center teams provide safer, more efficient care for miniature horses, small ponies and donkeys. The lift will be shared by the Farrier Shop, Theriogenology, Equine Field Services, and Equine Surgery services and allows better access to the feet and mouth of smaller equine patients, supporting procedures such as hoof care and dental work. The lift was fabricated from a motorcycle mechanic's table by ISU farrier Doug Russo, creating a practical solution tailored to meet the needs of LVMC patients and clinical teams.

PET OF THE MONTH. The college's Surgery, Anesthesia and Community Outreach Program "Pet of the Month" for June is Willa, a one-year-old tabby cat. This sweet feline was found as a stray. A kind samaritan fed Willa for a time, before bringing her to the Animal Rescue League of Marshalltown. Willa is outgoing and cuddly! She is fully vetted thanks to the students, faculty, and technicians with the summer rotation course, and is currently adoptable through the A.R.L. of Marshalltown.

COMBATING BURNOUT. The College of Veterinary Medicine is working with Bob Wesner, a private practice psychiatrist, to get in front of fourth-year students in the Primary Care clinical rotation to address some of the issues young veterinarians face in the workforce. “When I was a medical student and young physician, I had many worries and concerns about burnout, but no one was talking about this," Wesner said. "I talk to the vet students about the things I would have liked to heard when I was starting my career.”
