PAWED MOBILE CLINIC UPDATE MAY 2009

 

The PAWED mobile clinic has been in operation at the county shelter for the past four months.  Dr. Shirley Harman continues to do an excellent job of performing the spays/neuters, with the expert assistance of RVTs Sue Vargas and Tonya Ruffner.  Shelter staff Danielle, Sara and Brittany continue their careful handling of animals to and from the clinic, supervising the recovery of animals,  cleaning instruments and the clinic and doing laundry after surgery days.  PAWED volunteers Charlene, Cindy, Jeff, or Bill are frequently present on the Tuesday “Spay Days” to insure that the mobile clinic functions as needed.  Several improvements have been made inside the clinic to respond to the needs of the clinic staff and animals.

 

Between January 27 and May 12, surgeries have occurred on almost every Tuesday.   A total of 130 dogs/puppies and  85 cats/kittens from the El Dorado County animal shelters in Placerville and Lake Tahoe have been altered in the clinic during this time.  In addition, the clinic has been an invaluable resource for other surgeries needed by several shelter animals. The most recent being Sadie, a sweet Scottish terrier, who had 16 bladder stones removed.  We are happy to report she is feeling much better and recovering in a foster home!  Our planned next phase is to offer low cost spay/neuter services to the public by adding another day of clinic operation each week.  Efforts are currently underway to hopefully make this a reality in the next several months!
