Thanks to the generous
gift of $10,000 from Karen and Mickey Taylor, the Seattle Slew
Spinal Cord Research Fund
has been fully endowed at WSU’s College of Veterinary
Medicine.
The fund has
been established to continue research into the diagnosis and
treatment of equine spinal
cord disease.
Washington State University developed the surgical
technique for treatment of
compression of the spinal cord. The College of Veterinary
Medicine is the alma mater of four members of Seattle Slew’s
surgical team. Seattle Slew’s quality of life was greatly enhanced
when he received surgery for the treatment of spinal cord
compression. |
