This was the third year that the 2 day veterinary clinic
was held at the Veterinary Technology School at Lincoln
Memorial University. Mary Hatfield, Director of the LMU
Veterinary Technology Program, reported that more dogs than
cats were altered this year. Nine veterinarians
volunteered their time, including two local vets, Dr. Mark
Smith of Knox Co. Veterinary Services in Barbourville, KY,
and Dr. Randy Evans, Dean of the School of Allied Health
Sciences at LMU. According to Hatfield, 80 to 100
additional volunteers, including several FOS
members, helped make the clinic a success.
Not only were the 248 dogs and cats spayed or neutered at
no cost to their owners at the RAM Clinic, each pet
received a rabies vaccination, courtesy of Fort Dodge
Animal Health Corp. Friends of the Shelter provided
the funds necessary to make vaccinations for parvo-distemper
and feline-distemper available to each pet.
