Description of the Club: Over this last year we have had several
speakers from all over the country (and one from Russia!) come to talk to
the club about opportunities in the field of wildlife and zoo animal
medicine. Club members have had classes on how to perform emergency medicine
on raptors, and how to make and shoot a blow dart. To help pay for the
club's trip to the west side, we have been fundraising throughout the year
with our famous vetmed pint glass sales. We hope to incorporate more
facilities in our trip next year, and to have even more speakers come to
help us learn about the opportunites with working with wildlife.

Photos of 2007 Club Trip: Over one of our three day
weekends this Spring we made it over to Seattle to visit five
facilities: PAWS, Point Defiance Zoo, Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle
Aquarium, and Northwest Trek. We were given behind-the-scenes
tours of the veterinary care facilites at all of these locations, and
were able to talk to the head veterinarians there. At Woodland
park zoo we were allowed to watch the exam and radiographing of a Tawny
Frogmouth with a drooping wing, and were allowed to get up close and
personal with the grizzly bears at Northwest Trek. Though it was a
very busy weekend, everyone who participated found it very educational
and a lot of fun! We can't wait until our 2008 trip!Click on an image for a larger view
