COMBATING FELINE PAIN. Last weekend, more than 600 registrants, including veterinarians, cat owners, and cat enthusiasts, participated in the second annual Feline Health Symposium at #NCStateVetMed in partnership with @EveryCatHealth. Dr. Duncan Lascelles kicked off the symposium with the Sarah F. Hawes Memorial Feline Health Keynote, followed by a series of speakers addressing diverse feline pain topics over the two-day event.
THE SYMBOL OF PROFESSIONALISM. This past Saturday, the #NCStateVetMed Class of 2025 attended their long-awaited White Coat Ceremony. This event marks a significant milestone for the nearly 100 students, signaling the transition from the three-year pre-clinical portion of the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program to the clinical phase, where they will work alongside veterinarians at the NC State Veterinary Hospital for the next year.
Third-year student, Shanti Coleman remarks, “I have loved the student part. I love learning and being in a classroom and learning new material, but I’m in this ‘put me in, coach’ moment, and I’m ready to get my hands dirty. This feels like the start of the career I’ve been training so much for, and now the training part is over. I get to actually get my hands in there, get off the bench and really start doing it.”

AAVMP AT #NCSTATEVETMED. The students behind NC State’s chapter of the @asiansinvetmed may be on our campus for only four years, but they are working to make an impact that will benefit generations of students who come after them. We sat down with the @aavmpatncstatecvm president and VP to learn a little more about the group`s mission, the value it brings to campus and the supportive community they`ve created.

IT’S NATIONAL FARM ANIMALS DAY. And we’re celebrating with our cows moo-ving into their new home…the #NCStateVetMed dairy barn! The barn is part of an ongoing project, that will provide students and faculty access to state-of-the-art equipment reflecting the latest innovations in cattle care in a contemporary living classroom. Our cows love it, too! By providing them with the most comfortable, safe environment possible to produce milk, we improve their health and happiness and set a standard for our student veterinarians interested in pursuing food animal medicine. #NationalFarmAnimalsDay
A TAPIR CAPER: Sinar, a Malayan tapir from the @virginiazoo, paid a visit to #NCStateVetMed because of mouth pain and tooth troubles that his veterinarians couldn’t easily see. Our world-class CT, big enough to accommodate standing horses, was just the right size for 550-pound, 3-year-old Sinar and helped our exotic medicine experts assess what could be causing his pain. Their comprehensive exam revealed Sinar was anemic and had retained some of his baby teeth. After removing these bonus teeth, vets sent Sinar home to Norfolk with a personalized treatment plan. We’re happy to report he’s already feeling much better!
