AVC faculty member receives funding for ‘spectrum of care’ course for students

Veterinarian Michelle Evason will never forget her first emergency shift just four weeks after she graduated from veterinary college. On a hot July night almost 20 years ago, a young boy, accompanied by his mother, brought in his cat. The animal was very sick—it was ice cold to the touch, barely able to lift its head, and lethargic.

Evason knew what the problem was—a blocked urinary tract—and how to treat it. But in the end, the family could not afford to pay for the procedure that could have saved the cat they clearly loved. The only other option was humane euthanasia.
