World Vets brings Veterinary Research to San Juan del Sur


For one whole month World Vets will maintain a presence in our community during May and June of this year. Together with Stones & Waves Veterinary Clinic, they will provide back to back clinics for Rivas and San Juan del Sur respectively.

The animals that are treated during these clinics will take part and provide valuable data for two veterinary research studies. The first is headed up by World Vets volunteer Laura Baltodano and will examine the after results following spay neuter surgery; making note of any reoccurring issues and/or lack thereof. The objective of this study is to provide more information regarding the overall safety and effectiveness of the mobile surgery clinic operated by World Vets.

The second is a long term TVT (Transmissible Venereal Tumor) study out of the United Kingdom, lead by a Dr. Murchison. World Vets has been asked to take samples for this study at their various project locations. Sample collection kits are being provided to trip leaders for use during the May and June clinics in our community.

Stay tuned for more information about an upcoming TVT Treatment clinic this month.
