9/15 Wednesday; this was a pretty low-key day. UCVM had a meeting in the morning that again started on Africa Time. We sang, shared, and held a Bible study. Next we went to visit the Uganda Veterinary Medical Associations (UVMA) small animal clinic. We missed most of the appointments. They do vaccines and minor surgeries there (spay, neuter, wounds, skin tumors). Fractures and anything complicated they refer to the university which is close by. Parvo is a big problem as most dogs are not vaccinated. They have very few supplies and even less equipment. I think we were all impressed that they managed to do surgeries there at all.
Tomorrow should be very busy as we are lecturing to the 3rd and 4th year vet students in the morning and doing wet labs in the afternoon to demonstrate surgical techniques.
