Stefanie Virgen’s Introduction to Veterinary Medicine Class at Washington Middle School is having a Pet of the Week every Friday during the school year.
Students are assigned to do a clinical rotation with the pets, which become increasingly difficult as they gain diagnostic skills in the class.
See the pictures below of the first two Pets of the Week.
Top Picture: Lily Grant, and eighth-grade student, is shown with her cat, a Russian Blue named Mumford. Lily and her mother did a diabetes demonstration with an insulin shot.
Bottom Picture: Virgen with eighth-grade student Kelsey Stemmley's Maltese puppy.
In future classes, there will be goats, mice, chickens, and more.
