Without access to spay and neuter surgeries required before adoption, animals often remain in shelters longer. To help address this problem, the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Medical Center has launched a new mobile veterinary surgical unit that brings care directly to animal shelters and welfare organizations across the state.
The 32-foot mobile clinic functions as a fully operational veterinary hospital on wheels, equipped with two surgical tables, advanced anesthesia monitoring equipment, climate-controlled recovery space and onboard power generation. The unit is designed to deliver high-quality surgical care to shelters while creating new opportunities for veterinary and veterinary nursing students to gain hands-on clinical experience.
