👀 I spy Kobe!

When Kobe the tabby cat was first diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, which often proves fatal within a few years of diagnosis, his owner was devastated about the possibility of losing her best friend. But thanks to Texas A&M's new veterinary clinical trial, Kobe and other cats with kidney disease have hope for a long, symptom-free future.

We’re so very proud of Oscar!

When Oscar, a 5-year-old Dachshund, developed partial paralysis from a herniated disc, he became the first dog to experience a new, non-surgical treatment option through a veterinary clinical trial at the Texas A&M Small Animal Teaching Hospital.

The trial, being led by Dr. Nick Jeffery, involves injecting an enzyme to dissolve the herniated disc instead of surgically removing it. This method is faster and less intense than the traditional surgery, and is also much more affordable for owners!
