Jen's Upcoming Volunteer Work in Alaska
Jen, one of our Western Springs CVTs, will be traveling to Alaska for one week
in February to volunteer in the medical preparation of the sled dogs participating in the amazing Iditarod Race.
There
are over 1000 dogs that take part in the Iditerod Race, which covers over 1150 miles over the course of 10 to 17 days. With
a race this extensive, canine participants must be given an excellent bill of health prior to the competition.
Each day, 3-4 teams of dogs will visit Jen and other veterinary professional volunteers at the Iditerod headquarters in
Wasilla. Teams consist of 16 to 24 dogs, and Jen’s primary role will be to draw blood and perform ECGs. The veterinarians
will then evaluate the bloodwork and ECG to determine if the canine is healthy enough to participate in the race.
Jen
is extremely excited for this experience and we can’t wait to hear all about it! Jen plans on taking lots of pictures
and we will be sure to post them here when she returns.
The Iditarod Race begins on March 3, 2012 in Anchorage.
