The Disease Detectors<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/header>\n\t\t
\n\t\t

A new bird flu is discovered half way around the world. Thousands of wild birds have been affected, and it is only a matter of time before it begins to spread globally. Scientists at the Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at Washington State University immediately begin developing tests to identify the disease, so if it appears in our region, they can detect it before an outbreak.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\tView The Disease Detectors<\/a>\n<\/article>

Antibiotic Resistance:<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/header>\n\t\t
\n\t\t

Bacteria can do something remarkable. They can share genes. So, if one bacterium is resistant to a particular antibiotic, such as tetracycline, it can pass that resistant gene to another bacterium. That bacterium will become resistant and can pass its resistant gene to another bacterium.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\tView Antibiotic Resistance:<\/a>\n<\/article>

The MRI campaign is off to a great start! More than 200 faculty and staff at the college attended the MRI Campaign BBQ hosted by the WSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital in July. The MRI Giving Tree was placed on the wall and many generous friends added early leaves.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\tView From the Office of Development and External Relations<\/a>\n<\/article>

We Are Feeding Our Patients Even Better Thanks to a New Diet Kitchen<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/header>\n\t\t
\n\t\t

Feeding our patients the very best nutrition got a whole lot easier thanks to a partnership between WSU and the Nestl\u00e9 Purina Center for Nutrition Excellence program. In the spring of 2013, the Veterinary Teaching Hospital received the state of-the-art dietary kitchen thanks to a $70,000 gift from Nestl\u00e9 Purina to the college.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\tView We Are Feeding Our Patients Even Better Thanks to a New Diet Kitchen<\/a>\n<\/article>

Message from the Dean<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/header>\n\t\t
\n\t\t

I have been reflecting the past few days about what binds those of us who care about this college\u2014your College of Veterinary Medicine. <\/p>\n

We recently held our annual Dean\u2019s Reception and Celebration of Excellence in Seattle and had a great turnout of alumni and friends. I was struck by the diversity of connections in our extended college family among those in attendance. <\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\tView Message from the Dean<\/a>\n<\/article>
