These calvings are on top of regular appointments, consultations and other equine/bovine/small ruminant emergencies.

⏰ Vaccination Timing: The rabies vaccine must be administered at least 30 days before arrival.
🐶 Puppies: Pets younger than 6 months are not eligible for entry
💊 Microchipping: Dogs must be microchipped before arrival. Ensure your dog’s microchip details are updated and match the vaccination records. This MUST be done prior to rabies vaccine and be on all paperwork.
📝 Import Permits: A CDC import permit is required
👩🏻‍⚕️ Health Check: A veterinarian must examine the dog within 30 days of travel to certify they are healthy and fit for travel
🧳 History: Have a documented medical/vaccine history available for the previous 6 months & have these documents endorsed by a CFIA Veterinarian within 30 days of entry into the U.S
🚌 Arrival: Dogs must appear healthy upon arrival, or they may be required to undergo isolation, veterinary examinations and additional testing, at the importer’s expense, to determine if the dog has a contagious disease.

Bovine Embryo Technician - Part Time/Casual

Westlock Veterinary Center is looking for a Bovine Embryo Technician. This would be a casual position to help within our Bovine Reproduction team. We are an experienced team with a fast-growing embryo clientele.

You will work closely with our export certified embryo veterinarian, either in clinic or on farm assisting with embryo collection/freezing, conventional ET, dominant follicle reductions (DFRs), assisting with o**m pick up (OPU), fresh and frozen transfers, embryo grading and preparation for fresh transfer. The position requires the ability to work at a microscope for a long period of time, attention to detail, intricate lab work. Some overnight travelling throughout Alberta would be required in the months of March-June.

ABVMA sends congratulations to graduates of the UCVM class of 2024 who celebrated their graduation last night in Calgary. Dr. Serge Chalhoub, ABVMA President and Dr. Megan Bergman, Registrar attended the event.

The class of 2024 were denied their in-person Whitecoat and Stethoscope ceremony when they started their journey. In recognition, ABVMA was pleased to present the class with ABVMA scrub caps instead.
