Veterinary student Ashley Neary, class of 2009, sutures an “injured” stuffed horse in the Teddy Bear Surgery suite at the UGA College of Veterinary Medicine’s annual Open House.


This annual event will focus on veterinary medicine as an exciting, rewarding career, and will demonstrate the variety of career options available to veterinary medicine graduates.

Other activities will include horseshoeing, egg hatching, face painting, a parade of dog breeds, and question and answer sessions with current veterinary students. Children can assist while veterinary students suture their favorite stuffed playmates in the Teddy Bear Surgery area.

In addition, tours of the small and large animal hospitals will be available all day, with scientific exhibits showcasing every kind of animal from dogs to horses to exotics. Vendors will sell snack and lunch items, refreshments, and UGA merchandise.

Admission is free and open to the public. Parking will be available at the softball complex on Milledge Avenue with shuttles running to the College throughout the day.

The University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, founded in 1946, is dedicated to training future veterinarians, providing services to animal owners and veterinarians, and doing research to improve the health of animals as well as people. The College enrolls 96 students each fall out of more than 500 who apply. It has more than 135 faculty members.
