Survivors Guestbook
Whether or not you realize it, your pet
has been helped by biomedical research involving animals!
Each and every vaccine that protects your cat or dog was
developed by researchers working with animals, usually rodents.
Heart worm medicine, skin creams, antibiotics, insulin and
many other pharmaceuticals were developed so that cats and
dogs could live longer, happier and healthier lives. In
addition to drugs, medical devices – like pacemakers
– and specialized surgical techniques were also perfected
through work on lab animals to serve and advance the magnificent
cause of veterinary medicine.
If you have a story about how your cat,
dog, guinea pig, hamster or bird has benefited from special
veterinary care, please send
us your story and a picture of your pet for our Survivors
Guestbook. Every week, one lucky person will win a free
personalized screensaver
featuring your beloved pet.

Rocky
Burtonsville, MD
Rocky was
adopted from the shelter, and he has lived a long and
healthy life – he's 18 and counting. In his early
years, he suffered from worms and a deformed toe on his
right front paw, which was often sore and infected. It
was thought that his whole foot would have to be amputated,
but thanks to excellent vet care, Rocky has all his toes
(and feet). Even though he's an old kitty, Rocky's favorite
place to sleep is still on his daddy's shoulder.

Max
Burtonsville, MD
Max has as a stomach disorder – the
valve leading to his stomach is too small – leading
to vomiting when he eats too fast, too much, or food with
too much meat in it. Max's original owners had requested
he be put to sleep, but luckily the shelter tried adopting
him out. With proper vet care, Max is doing great! He eats
prescription dog food and sees his doctor every 6 months
to for stomach x-rays, to ensure that the valve is not shrinking
from scar tissue. It's expensive, but worth it for my best
friend.

Annie
Burtonsville, MD
When Annie was adopted from the shelter, she
was just days away from being put to sleep. Annie was feral,
and no one could get near her. No one, that is, except for
her new master! When Annie was adopted, she had worms, fleas,
an eye infection, and was severely underweight. To cure
her infection, the vet recommended spraying salt water up
her little nose 3 times a day for weeks. Annie hated that,
but as you can see, she now has beautiful, healthy eyes! |
