HELPING HANDS. At #NCStateVetMed, we not only train the next generation of healers and treat more 30,000+ patients a year, we also provide veterinary expertise and access to state-of-the-art medical equipment to our partners across North Carolina and the Southeast. This week, our exotics team had the privilege of helping @nczoo with Ronan the Harbor Seal, who needed some tests. Thank you to our donors who help us pay for endowments and equipment! #veterinary #vetlife #vetschool #nczoo #harborseal #veterinarian
SEAL SQUAD DEPLOYED. 🦭Many hands make light work of caring for Ronan, a 165-pound harbor seal from @nczoo who came to #NCStateVetMed for tests. Partnering with NC aquariums and zoo to help their animals is one of our highest honors. Read more about Ronan using the link in our bio.
