Training Local Veterinarians & Providing Veterinary Services in Paraguay  World Vets recently had a veterinary team in the landlocked South American country of Paraguay. One of the objectives of their visit was to provide free instruction for local veterinarians in performing spay/neuter surgeries. Another aim was to provide a high volume sterilization and animal health clinic for the poor barrios of Asuncion. During their visit, our team encountered very many sick animals requiring a variety of treatments and procedures. Nevertheless, they successfully executed both objectives, which benefited both local professionals in addition to the small animal population. We would like to thank our team of dedicated volunteers, Fondation Brigitte Bardot as well as local partners Adoptame for their support and efforts that made this campaign possible. See pictures

Mobile Equine Clinics Operated in Nicaragua
Throughout the year World Vets operates mobile equine clinics in Nicaragua targeting carriage and cart horses. This past month we conducted a large scale mobile clinic operative, which resulted in a week long equine welfare initiative. Working in a variety of locations, we reached both rural and urban horse populations, providing much needed veterinary services and care.
World Vets has been operating an equine welfare project, which provides free veterinary services to horses, in the Granada area for many years. We are thankful for the continual support of Fondation Brigitte Bardot of this ongoing endeavor. See pictures
