HOME AGAIN! 0n Friday, one of our kind clients came in for an appointment for a stray cat that they found hanging around their home. They wanted to do a welfare check on her and as is standard we scanned her for a microchip. Bingo! She had one and when we called to find her owner we found out she was from Midland. We got the owners information and contacted him. He was thrilled! Berry had been missing for over a month. Her family was very sad when she didn't return home. Unfortunately, the owner was unable to drive to pick up his cat. Fortunately, one of our employees, Nick, who attends Michigan Tech in Houghton was heading back to school. He volunteered to transport Berry home. The trip was snowy but successful! Thank you to Nick and congratulations to Berry and her family!
This is a great reminder of why we recommend you get your pets microchipped. They can travel far and this greatly increases your odds to reunite with your pet!

Day 5
Big last day. We packed up all our gear and headed back to the town of Changuinola for another surgery day. This time we were at a school so protected from the elements and enjoyed air conditioning. This was a big effort supported again by Papa Gato and the municipality of Changuinola. We did 53 surgeries!
All in all it was a wonderful trip, beautiful location and so much gratitude from the people of Panama. We hope to go back!

Day 4

After a day of rest and some scenery we did another outreach day in Changuinola, up the coast from the archipelago and close to the border of Costa Rica. In fact, we visited the Panamanian border patrol office to vaccinate a couple of their pets!

We loved the warm welcome from the citizens and the mayor’s office, who organized and financially supported our visit. And brought lunch!! Though tempted, none of the volunteers brought home puppies!
Lots of opportunity to engage with families, hopefully inspire some future veterinarians and hand out some soccer balls. A great day!

Day 3
After a long surgery day, we moved to a different hotel on the island and packed up for a different adventure! One of the Papa Gato volunteers organized a visit to an indigenous village on the east coast of Colon Island. We started at the school, where students brought their dogs and cats to be examined, vaccinated and treated for parasites. After lunch we went on a hike to visit great-grandma Nina’s house to vaccinate her dogs and cats. Then just a little (!) further to one more house on the family parcel! What a treat to meet the family and see their love of their pets!

Day 2:
Big surgery in the downtown of Bocas del Toro! We did 53 spays and neuters with 5 surgeons. The patients were organized by papagato.org, an animal welfare group founded in 2021 with a vision of an island with no homeless animals and every animal wanted and well-cared for. They also do some wildlife rescue on the side!
Vetscursions was founded by Max and Laurel Parkanzky both veterinarians who reside in Salt Lake City. Max is from Chelsea and started at Chelsea Animal Hospital at the age of 14! He and Dr. Rode are doing surgery side-by-side in one of the photos below, and his parents, Dan and Kim Parkanazky are standing by ready to get a patient ready.
What a great day. We had spectators anxious to see their pet come out of surgery successfully and hopefully planted the seed for some future veterinarians!

U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week is coming to an end, but CDC's commitment to combating the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance continues. Fighting antimicrobial resistance takes all of us and everyone can play a role.
CDC is a leader in the fight against antimicrobial resistance and invests in infrastructure to detect, respond, contain, and prevent antimicrobial-resistant infections across healthcare settings, communities, the food supply, and the environment to protect the American people and save lives.

National Thankful for My Dog Day!
Today is a the time to celebrate the joy and companionship dogs bring to our lives. To celebrate, you can show your dog extra love by giving them new toys, taking them on an adventure, playing with them, or providing mental enrichment through puzzle toys or scavenger hunts. It's a day dedicated to appreciating your four-legged friend for their loyalty and unconditional love.

When traveling, it's important to know how to reduce your risk of getting an infection and spreading infections.
Get vaccinated. Travelers should talk with a healthcare provider about what's best for their situation.
Research travel advisories. Check for health alerts and travel advisories for your destination.
Use antibiotics and antifungals appropriately. If needed, discuss the appropriate use of antibiotics and antifungals with your healthcare provider before you travel and only take them as prescribed.
Keep your hands clean. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially before eating and after using the restroom. If soap and water aren't available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Be cautious of food and water. Eat food that is cooked thoroughly.
Be aware of where your drinking water comes from and how it has been treated.

Use antibiotics and antifungals appropriately
Talk with your healthcare provider about the best treatment when you or your family are sick.
Talk with your veterinarian about the best treatment option when your animal is sick.
Antibiotics and antifungals save lives, but any time they are used they can cause sides effects and contribute to antimicrobial resistance.
One side effect is Clostridioides difficile—a bacterium that is not typically resistant but is associated with antibiotic use. C. diff can cause severe and deadly diarrhea, loss of appetite, abdominal pain/tenderness and nausea.
