Hooray for Amy Rodriguez, RVT, VTS! 👏

There’s a lot to celebrate during National Veterinary Technician Week, and Amy’s retirement gives us one more reason to cheer. After nearly three decades at CSU, she leaves behind a lasting mark on our VHS community.

Thank you, Amy, for everything you’ve given our patients, our teams, and the veterinary profession. We’re so grateful for your dedication and the standard of care you’ve helped shape at our hospital.

Our traditions shape who we are, how we connect, and the perspectives we bring to our work.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re celebrating the traditions and stories of our veterinary team while recognizing the importance of representation in veterinary medicine. A more inclusive profession starts with creating space for different experiences, cultures, and voices to be seen and valued. 💚

We couldn’t do what we do without our referring veterinary partners. 💚

As part of our grand opening celebrations, we welcomed more than 150 partners to explore our new spaces, connect with our team, and learn more about the resources we offer. Our clinical trials, veterinary continuing education, and diagnostic laboratory teams shared their work and connected with partners throughout the event.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, especially those who came as a team! We loved getting to know you better and look forward to hosting more events like this. By working together, we can continue strengthening partnerships and improving care for the patients we serve.

A new era for veterinary care and education at CSU 💚💛

Here’s what’s new:
🐾 Expanded small animal veterinary hospital with modern clinical spaces and services
🐄 New livestock hospital with design input from Temple Grandin
🏥 Lobby areas designed to create a more welcoming experience for animals and their people
🎓 Classrooms and labs supporting CSU’s new DVM curriculum for the next generation of veterinarians

The VHEC builds on CSU’s legacy of veterinary education and advances in animal health. Learn more about the VHEC and our recent grand opening celebration at: http://cvmbs.source.colostate.edu/csu-celebrates-grand-opening-veterinary-hospital-education-complex

For World Rabies Day, Sam Evans and Christie Mayo put their rabies knowledge to the test with a quick guessing game.

Behind the game is a serious topic. Our new blog takes a closer look at rabies, including how the disease is diagnosed and what goes into testing for the virus.

New study alert 🚨

We’re digging into a new approach to chronic pain in horses.

Our team is studying ketamine in horses diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the coffin and pastern joints. Horses receive a series of ketamine infusions, then we evaluate their movement using gait analysis software and a force plate to measure how weight is distributed across each hoof.

Curious about the study? Learn more about the research, what we hope to learn, and how to get involved: https://csuveterinaryhealth.org/csu-clinical-trial-studies-ketamine-therapy-to-help-horses-with-chronic-arthritis-pain/
