We want to take a moment to thank ALL of the club members with the Cocker Spaniel Club of Southern California who helped make our OFA events so successful in 2024! Your participation has been crucial in providing a fantastic opportunity for preservation breeders to obtain the necessary health tests for their breed, thereby setting their next generation of dogs up for success. Additionally, a huge thank you to the volunteers, doctors, and veterinary technicians who participated at each clinic.
We knew when opening Subzero that we wanted to help Celyn any way we could by offering space set up for parking, a larger volume of dogs, and exam rooms for the Doctors and Technicians; the feedback has been incredible, and we are delighted to be a part of it.
Thank you to Dr. Reid Nakamura (DACVIM-Cardiology, DACVECC), Dr. Jennifer Sheahan (DACVO), Dr. Cindy Mar (DACVO), Dr. Janet Moston (General Practitioner), Aldo and Tom (Dental Team) for their care and expertise and for carving time out of their schedules to give an excellent service to the dog community.
Thank you to all of the members and volunteers with CSCSC! To Celyn Van Leeuwen, who organizes and schedules every appointment and orchestrates the volunteer schedule. A shout-out to Christine Robinson, Nancy French, Amy Thornburg, Colleen Tkach, Richard Wang, Kali Walter, Nicole Tehranchi, Sue Hunsaker, Jim Howey, Debbie Massingill, Kris VanHoffwegan, Barbara Williams, Kenzie Coats, Rianna Thornburg.
For fun, here is a rough count of how many dogs were seen based on the service/health test they were scheduled for:
Cardiology: 230 Basic Cardiac, 105 Advanced Cardiac
Ophthalmology: 617
Radiology: 157
Gentle Dog Dental Teeth Cleaning: 306
Thyroid: 85
Patella: 95
GRAND TOTAL: 1'595! That is an average of 319 appointments at each event!
We are eagerly looking forward to 2025 and the OFA clinics we have planned! We hope to see your continued support and participation. To schedule an appointment or to be added to the mass email list for future events, email [email protected] or text 951-382-4879.
