IVSA and UPM vet students
Kempen Kembiri was held in JPH Clinic, Bentong on the 24th of November 2007. This time round, 9 dogs and 5 cats were spayed on this day. This campaign was made extra special, by having volunteers from international vet students, who were also here for the IVSA Symposium (International Veterinary Students' Association) organised by the students in UPM.

The vet students helped to examine the animals before the surgery, and monitor the condition of the animals until it recovered from the surgery. It was definitely is an eye opener for them so see the need for veterinary services in a small town such as this. They definitely enjoyed the interaction between the local vets and local pet owners.
Pet owners listening intensely to the RPO seminar by Pris
The pet owners were also given a small talk on Responsible Pet Ownership (RPO) by our very capable SPCA staff, Priscilla. Each pet owner also took back with them goody bags of pet food and treats sponsored by Pedigree and Eukanuba.

A couple of volunteer vets and a couple more from UPM did the anaesthesia and neutering. They also guided some of the students on examination and monitoring. Lots of thanks to them for making this trip possible!
