Photo submitted by David and Iniray Luper. flickr.com/ugavetmed youtube.com/ugavetmed foursquare.com/ugavetmed Dear Alumni and Friends of the College, As we settle into a new year, there is much to celebrate on the CVM’s horizon: • construction crews are scheduled to break ground on the site of our new Veterinary Medical Learning Center in March (we are still fundraising for this important project); • in a few weeks, we’ll gather to celebrate our 50th Annual Veterinary Conference & Alumni Weekend; • our first-year students are scurrying to plan our upcoming Annual Open House; • and, our Admissions Committee has just sent out acceptance offers to admit 102 more students into the Class of 2017! But as so many of you know so well, we have much to celebrate here on a daily basis – and, we strive to showcase some of our successes in each issue of our Aesculapian. This issue is no exception. Here’s a “peek” at some of the wonderful stories that I encourage you to read: • “The Miracle of Rascal,” an amazing tale of a Yorkshire Terrier who was hit by a pickup truck, yet survived. • Hard work, and not much summer play, may pay off big for canines – and hopefully humans, too – that suffer from malignant mammary cancer, thanks to Morris Animal Scholar Erica Noland (DVM ’14) and her mentors. • Now a second-year student, Eve Winkleman spent Summer 2012 working at an animal shelter in Bahrain. Her experience spurred her to find a way to help these animals in perpetuity. And her background as a photographer yielded thousands of photos for her memory – including some for our viewing pleasure. • An MRI to service large animals is among the latest technologies offered by our UGA Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH). Don’t miss our VTH update! • And, some of the top photos from our recent Picture Your Pet photo contest are on display in this issue, and on the walls of our VTH. In each Aesculapian, we feature a segment we call “Why I Give.” I am always inspired by the reasons people choose to support our College. This feature on Katie Beacham will warm your heart, as it reminds us that life is a gift, each moment is fleeting, and that quality time to say goodbye to our loved ones is among the greatest gifts of all. I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did, and thank you, as always, for your dedication and support of our College. Sincerely, DeanSheila W.

With the use of small inertial sensors, the Locator detects and quantifies asymmetry in the horse. The data is gathered in real-time and transmitted wirelessly to a tablet computer, which then allows for on-site analysis of the data. The system provides an analysis report that indicates which limb or limbs are involved, the magnitude of the lameness, and at which phase of the stride the horse experiences the most pain. “What I see as the most valuable use of the Lameness Locator is in the evaluation of low-grade, performance- limiting lameness, multi-limb lameness, and the objective evaluation of our diagnostic anesthesia,” said Large Animal Section Chief Randy Eggleston, DVM, a board-certified surgeon and clinical associate professor of large animal medicine. “The Lameness Locator is not meant to replace our skill as lameness diagnosticians, but instead to add an objective element to some of the more challenging lameness cases that we see.” All of these technologies, including the MRI, will move to the new Veterinary Medical Learning Center when it opens. In the meantime, these services are currently available to our clients and referring veterinarians.

  • Daniel Elmer Salmon, First DVM
    Perspectives in Veterinary Medicine Daniel Elmer Salmon, First DVM By Dr. Donald F. Smith Octob23 2, 2013 Not as erudite as James Law,1 nor as politically savvy as Alexandre Liautard,2 Daniel Salmon nonetheless deserves to be included as one of the three most important US veterinarians of the 19th century. During his 22-year tenure as head of the Bureau of Animal Industry, Salmon and the scientists under his direction made epoch discoveries in comparative medicine that have had far-reaching implications for agriculture, medicine and public health not just in that era, but up to the present. Daniel Elmer Salmon ©Cornell University Salmon wrote or co-authored over 100 scientific papers including a seminal paper―with colleague Theobald Smith3―describing the organism that carries his name (Salmonella). Among his public health advances were the development of a federal meat-inspection program and the quarantine requirement for foreign animals. Tragically for the scientific and public health community, Salmon’s forced resignation from the Bureau in 1905 as a political appeasement in the aftermath of the publication of Upton Sinclair’s, The Jungle, was a major loss to medical science and public health. He was eventually Page 1 of 3 cleared of alleged conflict of interest charges after an exhaustive investigation4 and subsequently started a veterinary college in Uruguay that remains in operation. He died in 1914. It is fitting to remember Daniel Salmon this month, for it was 145 years ago on October 7 that he was among the first students of all disciplines to matriculate at Cornell University.

El Prof. Dr. James Law de Escocia, Reino Unido, fue el primer Director de New York Veterinary College. El título de Director fue cambiado varios años después por el de Dean.” * En 1872 se graduó como Bachiller en Ciencias Veterinarias en Cornell University después de cursar estudios con superior actuación que incluyeron, además, seis meses de estadía en la “Ecole Vétérinaire de Alfort”, Paris, Francia.
