The major reasons are the lack of manpower, diagnostic tools, lack of technical know-how, and lack of awareness by pet owners. The lack of focus on diagnosis has perpetuated a risk of a public health hazard. To address this concern, Animal Hospital and Research Center was established in 2008 with an aim to provide quality service to pet animals, being the first of its kind in the private sector within Nepal. The hospital has a full-fledged moden pathology laboratory that includes veterinary automatic hematology counter, biochemical analyzer, sophisticated microscope; X-ray, ultrasound, bedside monitor etc. Animal Hospital and Research Center requires- 2 skilled Veterinary Volunteers and 1 veterinary nurse to assist in treatment/ surgery; new graduates also welcome to apply. ______________________________ Visakha SPCA has one of the most comprehensive animal shelters in India: dogs and cats, cattle and birds, and wildlife that was being illegally kept to be sold dead or alive. As if that wasn't enough work to do, we also have our ambitiously eco-friendly, 100% organic farming and renewable energy projects to run, plus our medical facilities for the animals! One of our most important projects is our animal birth control program (ABC) for dogs and cats. Recently, due to heightened publicity about dog bites, the public's tolerance for any trouble with the street dogs has gone way down. Consequently, Visakha SPCA wants to go full tilt to spay/neuter/vaccinate 10,000 street or community dogs: fewer dogs means fewer bites -- and fewer dogs put down. We need your help to accomplish this and to show the public that we can control the problem so the authorities don't have to start killing street dogs again en masse. Urgent call for veterinary volunteers For further info please visit www.vspca.org or contact Visakha SPCA at info@visakhaspca.org _____________________________________ British Veterinary Association Overseas Diary An update report on the BVA Overseas Group's activities. Please note that the BVA has not approved or assessed any of the organisations or projects listed but we may be able to put you in touch with previous volunteers for background information and advice. It may also be helpful to know that the Overseas Group has produced a basic guidance note on working overseas as a volunteer which is available on the BVA website from helenac@bva.co.uk. __________________________________________________________________________ APPEAL FOR EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS The Education and Research Committee of Usmanu Danfodiyo University's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Sokoto, Nigeria requests donations and subscriptions of books, journals, publications, illustration posters and models, CD-ROMs, and other interactive learning materials. The committee's educational program would also welcome computers and laboratory/diagnostic materials from individual veterinarians, or veterinary associations, schools, or libraries that update their reference volumes. Please consider sending any requested materials that are being replaced to the Veterinary Library as the group would be delighted to receive them. Please address any correspondence in this regard to the program's coordinator, Dr. Aminu Shittu, c/o Department of Public Health and Animal Production, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, P.M.B 2254, Sokoto-Nigeria; phone, (234)-803-6857-519; Email: ameen_vet@yahoo.com. The above appeal for materials is more directed towards food animal veterinary medicine and focused on needly countries in Africa.
