Max’s journey is nothing short of amazing. Rescued by Street Dog Hero, he was unable to open his jaw & eat normally for most of his life. He came to VRCCO for help, and Dr. Dujowich utilized 3D printing technology to aid in surgically fixing his jaw. Now, Max can chew his food and enjoy life like never before.

Max is still looking for his forever home. Reach out to Street Dog Hero to meet this sweet boy!

Thank you Materialise for the 3D printing technology that aids us in complex cases like Max's!

Avian influenza (H5N1) cases have been detected in cats in California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington, linked to contaminated poultry and dairy products. Cats are particularly vulnerable, with severe illness and even fatalities reported. Dogs are also at risk, though they tend to experience milder symptoms.

Tips to Protect Your Pets:
✔️ Avoid feeding raw or undercooked meat, unpasteurized milk, or eggs.
✔️ Keep cats indoors and away from wild birds, poultry, and livestock.
✔️ Contact us immediately if your cat shows signs like lethargy, fever, respiratory issues, or neurologic symptoms. Our phone number is 541-209-6960.

To learn more about symptoms, prevention, and what to do if H5N1 is suspected, visit the AVMA website: https://www.avma.org/resources-tools/animal-health-and-welfare/animal-health/avian-influenza/avian-influenza-h5n1-cats
