2011-2012 Annual Report to Donors
COVER PHOTO: Meet Parker Chambers, a playful
orange tabby who was a patient at the UGA Veterinary Teaching Hospital
during his later years. “Although the circumstances were less than desirable, the
experience of meeting such dedicated professionals working tirelessly to provide exceptional care offered
such comfort and hope,” recalled Parker’s owner, Colleen Chambers, of their many visits to our Hospital. Parker’s
photo was selected as one of the top 30 photos, among more than 200 entries, submitted to our “Picture Your Pet Photo Contest” held
during summer 2012. Watch for Parker’s story, along with the stories and photos of the other top entries, in the next issue of the Aesculapian.

The University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine
Alumni and Friends FY12
Giving
Thanks to your generosity, the UGA
College of Veterinary Medicine raised a
record-setting $17,802,520 in gifts and
pledges, from alumni and friends, in
FY12 (compared to the FY11 total of
$4,640,925). The College finished first
in fundraising among all 17 schools
and colleges within the University of
Georgia.
In addition, for the first time in our
history, the CVM raised more than
$1 million in annual giving! We had
3,394 donors help us reach this special
goal, raising a total of $1,021,474.
The CVM’s alumni giving base
continues to be among the strongest
of all the University of Georgia’s
schools and colleges. Within FY12,
18% of the CVM’s alumni made gifts
to our College, which is the same level
of giving we had from our alumni in
FY11. Once again, we were exceeded
by only the School of Law, which had
a 25% alumni participation rate. The
CVM’s goal is to have at least 25% of
our alumni giving annually.
Gifts restricted to the CVM from all
UGA alums (a total of 765 alums
from all UGA schools and colleges)
was $330,634 in FY12 (compared to
$1,269,435 in FY11).

Class Campaign/Reunion Giving
Reunion giving for the College was strong in FY12, with $105,666.35 raised
from the class campaigns.
Gifts from the Class of 1987 (top photo) totaled $25,680.00 (32% participation
rate), more than any other reunion class at the 49th Annual Veterinary
Conference and Alumni Weekend.
The Class of 1977 (middle photo) came in second place with gifts totaling
$15,023.31 (27% participation rate). The Class of 1962 (bottom photo) was in
third place for gifts, bringing in $12,900.00, and had the highest participation
rate of any reunion class at 38%. Thank you, UGA CVM alums!
2011-12 Annual Report to Donors

First Look: New Veterinary
Medical Learning Center
The north façade of the UGA Veterinary Medical Learning Center, facing Southeast.
A
fter more than a decade of planning and fundraising,
the UGA College of Veterinary Medicine is poised
to break ground on a new home for its Veterinary
Teaching Hospital (VTH), including classroom space
to educate future veterinarians. Building of the facility,
known as the Veterinary Medical Learning Center, is
scheduled to begin in February 2013.
It is a milestone achieved with the help of a vast and
supportive community, including: alumni, hospital clients,
Georgia’s leaders and lawmakers, charitable institutions,
major donors, administrators from the University of
Georgia, as well as the University System Board of Regents.
But while we are ready to build, we still have much
fund-raising to do, noted Dr. Sheila W. Allen, dean of the
College, who estimates the current total project costs at
$105 million.
“There are still lots of opportunities to contribute
financially to this project,” said Allen. “We will need new
equipment that is as state-of-the-art as the facility itself.”
The state of Georgia appropriated $60 million for
planning money and construction costs. As of June
30, 2012, the CVM had raised $20,996,030 in private
donations toward the construction of the VMLC. The
College also received a challenge grant, in November 2012,
from a foundation, which wishes to remain anonymous.
This challenge grant will match every dollar raised from
this point forward, up to $1 million.
Throughout the design process, which began in
Fall 2010, VTH administrators, faculty and staff have
4
worked closely with the architecture firm, Perkins + Will,
www.perkinswill.com, to design a facility that could expand
through the years, while still keeping costs as low as possible.
Their aim, said Dr. Gary Baxter, has been to create a hospital
that will provide vast improvements for our patients and
their owners, and also provide a better environment for
the clinicians, staff and students who work in the facility.
“Two of the driving forces behind the design of this
whole building were ‘way-finding’ and using natural
light,” said Baxter, director of the UGA Veterinary
Teaching Hospital. “Corridors and specialty areas are all
interconnected, so that it is easy for people to find their
way through the building.” One common denominator to
aid those who must quickly navigate the 300,000-grosssquare-foot facility (including classroom space) is natural
light, much of which will emanate from glass on three
sides of the building, overlooking a courtyard. Those
same three sides of the building could be tapped for later
expansion, noted Baxter.
“We are very cognizant of trying to minimize the
amount of asphalt, etc., and also cognizant of capturing
the use of natural light for lighting throughout the
hospital,” he said.
For the Hospital’s patients and clients, the list of
benefits that will come with the new VMLC is immense:
The Emergency Room has its own covered entrance, and
is separate from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). There is
space to house in-patients separately from out-patients.
Cats can be kept separately from dogs – even in the lobby
The University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine
and in ICU. Small animals needing physical therapy will
have access to a rehabilitation area connected to the
Orthopedics service. There are intermediate care and
isolation areas for both large animals and small animals.
And internal building materials will include special
ceiling tiles, and other means, to minimize noises that can
disturb patients and disrupt teaching.
The entire facility is designed to be versatile, so that
it can allow for future expansion as needed. “We are
trying to set aside space for new services, such as a future
dentistry suite for small animal clients, and perhaps a
future nutritional consulting service,” said Baxter.
Creating better conditions for patients, clients, as
well as for students, faculty and staff, is a recurring theme.
“The idea of the separate Emergency entrance came from
our trying to avoid mixing day patients and emergencies
in the same area,” said Baxter. The new Emergency area
has a unique entrance that includes a covered drivethrough/drop-off area. It also has its own waiting area for
clients, and examination rooms for emergency patients.
Equine clients and their owners can look forward to
a new lameness arena that will include a farrier service
and day-holding stalls. The lameness center, which is
being funded by the UGA Athletic Association, will be
a covered arena with multiple diagnostic tools available
for evaluating patients. And even this is being designed
so that it can accommodate newer technologies as they
become available, said Baxter.
An ICU for mares and foals, specialized floor surfaces,
and more natural light will also benefit patients at the
new facility, as will four specialty barns: one each for
out-patients, healthy in-patients, ICU, and colic. There
will also be a separate area for food animals and small
ruminants.
One of the four barns has yet to be fully funded, said
Kathy Bangle, director of Veterinary External Affairs.
“We still need to raise $1 million just to pay for this
fourth barn. To help fund this part of the facility, we are
providing opportunities to name 40 stalls, at $25,000
each. You can name a stall for your horse, your farm, or
for your veterinarian! And, you can pay your pledge over a
five-year period. We welcome anyone who is interested to
contact our Giving Office, and help us build this barn!”
Improved driveways and parking areas, for both small
and large animal clients, have been factored in, too. “We
have paid a lot of attention to livestock trailer traffic,
and our goal is to minimize the need to back-up with
a trailer,” said Baxter. “Everything is drive-through, or
minimal back-up is required. Also, livestock and equine
trailers will be parked separately from other vehicles, near
the main entrance for our large animal patients. We will
also have a place for clients to leave their trailers, if they
wish to do so.”
Baxter said the new facility will also be able to offer
more outpatient services for small food animal herds,
which has been difficult to do, due to space and difficult
2011-12 Annual Report to Donors
access, in our current Hospital. “We plan to have a new
chute system that will enable us to handle multiple cattle
at one time, as opposed to the single-head of cattle system
we’ve had for years.”
There will be much more outdoor space for turning
out equine and large animal patients, said Baxter. And,
there are plans to include a large paddock to house the
Hospital’s blood donor horses, which are currently
housed off-site and brought to the Hospital as needed.
There will be multiple spaces for private consultations
between doctors and clients who need to discuss sensitive
issues, Baxter said, as well as separate spaces for clients
who want a quieter area while they wait. The classroom
building will include a dining space that will be open
to the public, something that has not been available to
clients at our current Hospital. “Clients will have far more
opportunities to have a comfortable visit than they do in
our current facility,” noted Baxter.
DVM students, residents, interns, faculty and staff
will benefit from dedicated space, within every service, for
conducting rounds, discussing individual cases, to work in
small groups, etc., said Baxter. In addition, the courtyard
provides an area for having discussions outdoors.
There is also emphasis on technologies and areas of the
hospital that can be shared between large animal patients
and small animal patients, to minimize redundancies.
“The linear accelerator will be available to large and
small animal patients,” said Baxter; the “linac” currently
treats nearly exclusively small animal patients due to
space constraints. “Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI),
computed tomography (CT), interventional radiography
– these are all technologies we can place in one area so
that they serve our equine patients and our small animal
patients,” said Baxter.
The facility will have three main entrances that will
be demarcated by stone: a main entrance for small animal
clients, the Emergency entrance, and the entrance for large
animal clients. The façade is expected to be constructed of
stone and brick, said Baxter.
“Some of the exterior elevations will change in the
coming months,” he added, “because we are currently
adding a second floor that will house clinical research
labs, as well as our Clinical Pathology Laboratory, which
serves our Hospital. We were not able to accommodate
these areas in our initial construction phase, but were
able to add them back in once we got additional private
funding that came in during late Fiscal Year 2012.”
The VMLC will provide a wonderful place to work and
learn for the future of veterinary education in Georgia.

Hurley Luper spent his first birthday in the UGA Veterinary Teaching Hospital’s ICU,
recuperating from immune-mediated polyarthritis. “We were so shaken up and worried, but
the veterinary school saved our buddy,” recalled owner David Luper. “Now he is a healthy
3- year-old. He is part of the family, and we can’t thank the hospital’s faculty, staff and students
enough for saving him.” Hurley’s photo was selected as one of the top 30 photos, among more
than 200 entries, submitted to our “Picture Your Pet Photo Contest” held during summer 2012.
Watch for his story, along with the stories and photos of the other top entries, in the next issue
of the Aesculapian.

H. Brent Collinson’s Golden Retriever, Hudson, enjoys a summer afternoon in his backyard.
Love for Golden Retrievers inspires scholarship endowment
H. Brent Collinson, born in 1949, in Greenville, S.C., attended Anderson College
for two years, then transferred to the University of Tennessee where he received a
Bachelor of Science degree in 1971. In 1973, he moved to Atlanta, and embarked
upon a very successful career in real estate. Through the years he has had the
opportunity to express his love and passion for all things living, in particular, Golden
Retrievers. Collinson has been an ardent volunteer and supporter for Golden
Retriever Rescue and other canine rescue operations.
Collinson has bequeathed a major portion of his estate be given to the
University of Georgia Foundation for the benefit of the College of Veterinary
Medicine. He has instructed that these proceeds be used to establish the H. Brent
Collinson Endowment in Veterinary Medicine. The purpose of this fund is to provide
scholarship support to UGA veterinary students who have a demonstrated financial
need and a demonstrated interest in shelter medicine and related care. If the
endowment proceeds are sufficient, Collinson would prefer that the scholarship be
awarded annually to both a Georgia resident and a South Carolina resident. If the
endowment proceeds are not adequate in a given year to provide benefit for two
recipients, then he would like the annual award to alternate between recipients from
Georgia and South Carolina.
Collinson’s love and concern for his Golden Retrievers and the immense heart
and dedication these animals have shown to him helped to inspire this gift. While he
is not concerned with his legacy, Collinson’s gift certainly inspires the recipients to
use their talents and opportunities to make a positive impact on their patients and to
make a profound difference in shelter medicine and related animal care.

Good Things Come from Two
Birds of a Feather Flocking Together
2011-12 Annual Report to Donors
Photo by Sue Myers Smith
W
ho would have guessed that
what started out in December
2011, as two birds of a feather
flocking together, would result in a
gift so generous that it will impact all
birds being treated at the University
of Georgia Veterinary Teaching
Hospital (UGA VTH)?
Such is the case with the
contribution that Bill and Melanie
Kress have donated to the UGA
College of Veterinary Medicine.
The donation was given to help not
only build the avian ward for the
Zoological Medicine service in the
new Veterinary Medical Learning
Center (VMLC), but also to create
the Bill and Melanie Kress Fund for
Wildlife and Zoological Medicine,
which will support educational
activities for residents, interns and
students to learn more about this
area of veterinary medicine. Their
contribution also includes three
other wards: one each for mammals,
reptiles and a general ward.
“We wanted to donate to the
hospital for all the help they give
to animals, but we also wanted to
help inspire students to learn more
in the area of avian medicine,” said
Bill Kress, a performing magician
by trade. The Kresses, who owned a
theatrical supply company, recently
retired.
The donation stems from the care
that the Kresses’ beloved cockatoo,
Bugsy, received following an accident,
which broke the bird’s wing.
“Our family veterinarian, Dr.
Don DeLong, looked at the wing and
said, ‘You need an expert and the
best around is UGA,’ so I got in the
Bill and Melanie Kress with Bugsy in the Kresses’ aviary.
car and headed to Athens,” said Bill
Kress.
Shortly after Bugsy was admitted
and had surgery, she lost a lot of
blood and was going downhill
quickly. Conveniently, there was
a wildlife patient, a barred owl
affectionately named Bobo, who was
being treated at the same time. Dr.
Joerg Mayer, an associate professor
of zoological medicine and the lead
clinician on the case, suggested a
radical treatment: a blood transfusion
from Bobo to Bugsy. Blood
transfusions between different types
of birds are rare, but time was of the
essence and Bill Kress authorized the
treatment. Bugsy started perking up
within minutes of the transfusion
and continued improving long
enough that they could get another
blood donation from a better match,
another cockatoo being cared for by
No “R” Birds Sanctuary, located in
Northeast Georgia.
That first emergency visit
resulted in a stay in the VTH of just
over a week. Regular check-ups
followed for the next seven months,
during which time Bill Kress and
Bugsy got to know Mayer and the
Zoological Medicine clinicians well.
“The entire team at the UGA
Veterinary Teaching Hospital gave so
much to us with the health of Bugsy.
We wanted to give something back.
We did this to help,” said Bill Kress.
Bugsy’s accident did not mark
the first experience the Kresses had
at the UGA VTH. Their cat, Patch,
one of five rescue cats that the Kresses
have, had been treated at the VTH in
2004 when she was shot.
“We were so pleased with the care
Patch got there,” said Melanie Kress.
“The clinicians really got to know her
27
the funds were going to be matched,
we knew the money would go as far
as it could,” he added, reflecting on
a matching grant that a generous
benefactor of the CVM had offered at
the time their gift was made.
At the heart of the contribution
however, is Dr. Joerg Mayer.
“This donation was made
because of what Dr. Mayer did. Dr.
Mayer took the risk and weighed
it,” recalled Bill Kress, reflecting on
the blood transfusion. “He took a
chance with the owl and won. It was
an eight-month recovery process
with the three of us — Bugsy, Dr.
Mayer and me — but Dr. Mayer was
the spearhead of everything. And, we
think if he could do what he did with
the facilities he has now, imagine
how much more he can do with more
spacious, up-to-date facilities.”
The bulk of the donation that
the Kresses have made will go toward
building an avian ward in the VMLC.
Advancements including light
monitors, heat sensors, and a room
solely for avian patients, are potential

because she was there for several days
in ICU, and they were so loving.”
The Kresses knew they wanted to
donate to the College of Veterinary
Medicine, but they weren’t exactly
sure at first where their donation
would make the most impact. They
had left a contribution in their will,
but made no stipulation about
how it should be spent other than
continuing the progress of helping
animals.
“Children and animals — they
are the ones who need us most,”
commented Melanie Kress on their
guiding philosophy.
When they were made aware of
the needs of the new hospital, and
funds that clinicians and students
could use to further their studies in
zoological medicine, they decided to
advance their plans.
“We said to one another, ‘Why not
do it now?’ ” recalled Melanie Kress.
“They need it now, not at our
convenience, and this way we can
see what good it’s going toward,”
continued Bill Kress. “And, since
Patch is one of five rescue cats adopted
by the Kresses. Patch became a patient
at the UGA Veterinary Teaching Hospital
in 2004.

features of the new space, which was
in final design stages at press time.
Mayer is excited about the design
for the Zoological Medicine service in
the new hospital, and flattered by the
donation made in his honor.
“The new ward is going to be
phenomenal and will be a complete
new era,” he said. “Giving the birds
their own room is like putting them
in a five-star hotel.”
“I was just doing my job, but
it’s great that Bill and Melanie
appreciate my work,” said Mayer.
“More than that, though, they made
this contribution from the heart, not
the wallet, because they truly love
animals. It’s a direct testimonial that
individuals can make a difference
that counts.”

Recovery for Lakota
Retired police dog back in good spirits, health
2011-12 Annual Report to Donors
Photo by Sue Myers Smith.
I
t’s been just over a year since Officer
Travis Fox and his K-9 partner,
Lakota, got into a terrible car crash
that almost cost Lakota his life.
But thanks to the generous
support of donors to the UGA College
of Veterinary Medicine’s G.R.A.C.E.
Fund, and several surgeries at the UGA
Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Lakota is
back in full stride, getting accustomed
to a very different pace of life as a
civilian German Shepherd.
While the road to recovery has
not been easy, Lakota and his owners,
Officer Fox and his wife Corey, are glad
to see a happy Lakota who is once again
able enjoy the simple joys of just being
a dog.
“He’s doing good,” said Corey
Fox. “He’s finally got all of the casts off
after multiple surgeries. He’s just now
getting back to starting to play ball.
He’s becoming happier now that he’s
got the casts off. Being still and quiet
for him is not something that he could
maintain well.”
The accident happened on Oct.
3, 2011, in Clayton County, south of
Atlanta, while Officer Fox and Lakota
were on duty with the Clayton County
Police Department.
Once news spread that an injured
police dog was in need of help, more
than $18,000 in donations came in to
the College’s canine emergency relief
fund, known as the G.R.A.C.E. Fund,
and the Fox family began receiving
cards, emails and letters of support
from people all over the world.
That support has never waned,
said the Foxes. Lakota has a steady
stream of more than 3000 followers
on Facebook, many of whom stay in

contact with the Foxes and routinely
inquire about his well-being. He even
has a T-shirt for sale bearing his image
and name.
“I knew at first people would care
about him,” said Corey Fox. “But
there’s not been a week when we
haven’t gotten a letter or some sort of
support. It’s been very, very touching.
It wasn’t like it was a two-week thing.
People have become invested and
involved with him.”
As a pair, Lakota and Officer Fox
enjoyed a successful career, with more
than 80 apprehensions and numerous
drug arrests. Following their accident,
Lakota was retired from the police
department and adopted by the Foxes.
He now enjoys spending time with the
other dogs in the family, including two
of his puppies. While he won’t be out
working to protect and serve with his
former partner anymore, Lakota will
be a valuable asset in helping the Foxes
with their side business of training
other police dogs, said Corey Fox.

Award, and was even nominated for
the AKC Ace Award.
As for the Foxes, the accident and
generous support from people, both
in Georgia and around the world,
provided a silver lining in the form of
a renewed perspective on the value of
human kindness.
“It has been very overwhelming,
especially for Travis,” Corey Fox said.

alongside his new K-9 partner, Athena.
The transition, his wife said, has been
hard on them both.
“At first it was really tough for
Lakota, because he would see Travis get
his uniform on and grab his leash,” she
said. “Lakota was his first K-9 partner,”
she added. “And I don’t think any dog
ever compares to that first partner.”
Despite his retirement, Lakota
has continued to garner accolades for
his service to the community. He was
the runner-up in the law enforcement
category for the American Hero Dog

“With his job, he only sees the bad in
people most of the time. So it kind
of makes him be a little close-minded
of the goodness in people. It’s helped
refresh in him that there are good
people out there.”
The G.R.A.C.E. Fund was the
single most valuable asset in helping
Lakota get the many surgeries he
needed to survive and live life as an
able-bodied dog again, she noted.
“We’ve told many people and
people have asked us. You can give
to the G.R.A.C.E. Fund. You can give
to the UGA College of Veterinary
Medicine in his name, so that if
somebody else is in a situation and
they need the help, they’ll have
it,” Corey Fox said. “We wouldn’t
have him here if it wasn’t for all the
donations that came in.”

The University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine
Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching Professor for 2012
Dr. Jim Moore
Distinguished Research Professor receives
University’s top teaching award
2011-12 Annual Report to Donors
Photo by Dot Paul
D
r. Jim Moore doesn’t horse around.
At least not when it comes to teaching and
research in the College of Veterinary Medicine.
Moore is an equine surgeon who has taught in
the classroom, the Teaching Hospital and the research
laboratory since joining UGA in 1981.
He’s best known for collaborating with Thel Melton,
Mac Smith and Flint Buchanan to develop The Glass
Horse, a 3-D program used internationally to teach
about equine gastrointestinal disorders. “The Glass Horse has completely revolutionized how
veterinary students learn about equine gastrointestinal
anatomy and colic,” said Vanessa Cook, an associate
professor at Michigan State University. “The 3-D
technology allows students to visualize what is actually
happening in the horse. I use it to teach students about
colic. I don’t know how any of them ever understood the
complex anatomy of the horse’s gastrointestinal tract
before this technology was available.”
Moore is dedicated to learning at all levels —
­ from
teaching middle and high school students about osmosis
with 3-D models, to working with undergraduates in the
Honors program, to mentoring post-veterinary school
graduate students.
He gets the highest praise from his students.
“Dr. Moore is just about the best thing since sliced
bread,” said a student in a course evaluation. “His
lectures were engaging and clear, and his use of visual
aids was phenomenal. He’s so approachable.”
Moore wants students to enjoy learning the material
as much as he enjoys sharing it with them.
“I relish opportunities to see them smile or laugh
during the process and see the light go on for students
who may have had little interest in a particular topic,” he
said. “You never know what will grab your interest, and I
think it is important for our students to realize that they
might find themselves working in areas that never occur
to them when they walk in the front door of the college.”
Moore admits he’d never touched a horse until
his second year of veterinary school — and then was
hooked within weeks. He found gastrointestinal diseases
fascinating and has since spent his career studying
exactly that.
Jim Moore, DVM, PhD, DACVS, is a Distinguished Research
Professor in the College’s Department of Large Animal
Medicine. Dr. Moore was one of four UGA professors, universitywide, named as a Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching
Professor for 2012.
“Things were life and death,” he said. “The horses
needed emergency abdominal surgery in the middle of
the night, and it was simply too compelling to leave.”

Editor’s note: The Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching Professorship is the
highest teaching award bestowed upon a professor by the University of Georgia.
A maximum of five professors are chosen each year for this honor. The College
is extremely proud of Dr. Moore, and we hope you enjoy his story.

The Lalita and Raghubir Distinguished Professorship
Professorship aims to
enhance toxicology research
D
r. Raghubir P. Sharma served as the Dr. Fred
C. Davison Distinguished Chair in Veterinary
Medicine — a professorship that provided him an
opportunity that helped propel his career forward.
Now retired as a professor from the CVM Department
of Physiology/Pharmacology, Sharma is giving back to
the program that guided him to
success by pledging to endow a
distinguished professorship to
help others in their endeavors in
the field of toxicology.
During his career, Sharma
made many advances in the field
of toxicology. That distinguished
chair position, he said, helped
him make waves in the field
of toxicology when it was just
beginning as a field of study.
“I got involved with
toxicology about 40 years ago,”
said Sharma. “I’ve been in that
field since 1969 and at that time,
it was a starting field. There
were no programs in that area.”
Dr. Sharma came to the
United States in 1964 after
completing his training in
veterinary medicine at the
University of Rajasthan in his
native India. He completed
doctoral studies at the University
of Minnesota in 1968 and shortly afterward joined the
faculty at Utah State University. There, he earned a
full professor designation in 1979 and later served as
director of the Center for Environmental Toxicology,
an interdisciplinary graduate and research program. In
1995, he joined the University of Georgia as the Fred C.
Davidson Chair in Physiology and Pharmacology; he
retired in 2006.
During his long and distinguished career, Dr.
Sharma’s research was supported by grants from many
institutions, including the National Institutes of Health.
His hope in establishing this professorship, he said, is
32
to facilitate the success of other cutting edge research in
toxicology in areas such as molecular toxicology, genetic
toxicology, proteomics or metabolomics related to the
field, stem cell research, or application of nano-science in
toxicology.
During his career, Sharma mentored 33 doctoral
and 29 master’s students,
14 post-doctoral candidates
and a number of exchange
scholars. He also edited four
books, contributed nearly 50
book chapters and authored
or coauthored more than 275
research publications.
The professorship,
which will be known as The
Lalita and Raghubir Sharma
Distinguished Professorship,
Photo provided by Rughubir and Lalita Sharma
is named to recognize not only Dr. Sharma, but also
his wife of 50-plus years, an ever-supportive and
encouraging influence on his success as a researcher.
The professorship will require the professor to
be engaged in teaching, research, public service or a
combination of such duties. Distributions from the fund
may be used to provide research or teaching assistance
as needed, to cover travel expenses, professional
memberships, supplemental salary support, and
other expenses that enhance the effectiveness of the
distinguished professorship beyond those ordinarily
provided by the University.

Dr. Mark Jackwood will be the first to hold the John R. Glisson
Professorship in Veterinary Medicine. Jackwood, a molecular
virologist known for his work in avian diseases, became head of
the Department of Population Health in December 2011.
Grasping the importance of research that helps
industry succeed has brought Glisson to a new position.
As the director of research for the U.S. Poultry and
Egg Harold E. Ford Foundation, he now oversees the
administration of grants to researchers in poultry
medicine.
Despite moving on to a new position, Glisson is
still a frequent visitor to PDRC on College Station
Road. Being a part of that community and mentoring
students, he said, have been the most rewarding
aspects of working for UGA.
“The people here in this place are a huge part of
my life,” he said. “I did it because it’s so much fun to
work here. But it’s not just here. It’s because you’re
working with the poultry industry. There’s probably
no place at the University where more faculty are
working with the industry at one time. So that just
makes it fun.” And, the caliber of students who enter
into the program is remarkable, he added.
“They know that this is an opportunity. They
know that we can teach them,” he said. “They’re
mature. They want to learn. It’s so good just to have
those small groups of people who are really just
digging and want to know everything. For a person
like me, that’s just a godsend. They were those kind
of people before they came here. They’re the cream of
the crop. And we help them finish becoming what they
already were.”
The John R. Glisson Professorship in Veterinary
Medicine will enable the CVM to continue providing
2011-12 Annual Report to Donors
that kind of education to students in the future.
The first holder of the professorship will be Dr.
Mark Jackwood. “I think it is a special tribute to Dr.
Glisson’s legacy that a faculty member he mentored
is the first holder of the Glisson Professorship,”
said Dean Sheila Allen. “The College of Veterinary
Medicine is proud to have Dr. Glisson’s contributions
recognized through this professorship that will benefit
PDRC in perpetuity.”
“The goal with any professorship is to have an
endowment that makes that position attractive so that
you can recruit and retain really good people in that
position for the future,” noted Glisson. “To have that
professorship to offer them allows you to always get
and keep, hopefully, the best person.”
“It’s an honor to have a professorship in my
name,” he added. “I’m very thankful to the people who
contributed to the endowment. But mostly I’m glad
that the professorship will be here to help this place.”

that he and his colleague on the neurology faculty, Dr.
Marc Kent, have complementary research interests, and
similar goals. Both see UGA CVM’s neurology program
as a keystone center of excellence for teaching, research,
and service to the profession. Both are interested in
using technology to teach, as well as to collaborate with
practicing veterinary neurologists. Both want to advance
their field, and view each case as having the ability to
offer something new in how a patient may present, how
the illness is diagnosed or treated, or some other aspect
of case management. Each case is a unique opportunity
for teaching, explains Platt, and each case begins to build
a theme for research.
“Themes of research at this stage are brain tumors,
strokes, and epilepsy,” he says. “We deal with a lot of
spinal and brain diseases. But we want to focus on these
themes in order to achieve something our treatment
center has not achieved before. We want to advance the
current standard of diagnosis and the current standard
of care. And, we believe this is only going to be possible
by collaborating with other centers, particularly at a basic
science or human neurological center.”
A clinical trial for dogs with gliomas, being
conducted in partnership with the Emory University
School of Medicine’s Department of Neurosurgery,
offers a glimpse at how Platt’s work with his colleagues
at UGA is helping dogs, and may one day help humans.
Gliomas are the most common form of primary brain
tumors effecting humans. People who are diagnosed
with an aggressive glioma have an average survival time
of 9 to 10 months, says Platt. With the help of the Boo
Radley Foundation and referring veterinarians, dogs with

by Dr. Platt and Dr. Laurent Garosi, was published

for emergency anesthesia, pain management,
fluid therapy, post-operative care and physical

the drug Cetuximab to the tumor’s site. Some of these

hen the UGA Veterinary Teaching Hospital’s Neurology and
Neurosurgery service saw Petey, a 7-year-old pit bull, for the
first time in early September 2011, things were looking grim. He had
recently started to have seizures and mentation changes. The news grew
even worse after an MRI showed the cause: Petey had a brain tumor.
Following an evaluation, neurologist Dr. Simon Platt and resident
Dr. Courtenay Freeman realized Petey would be an ideal candidate
for a clinical trial being conducted in collaboration with Emory
University and funded by the Boo Radley Foundation. The clinical trial
is investigating delivery of a medication (Cetuximab) by an infusion
method called convection-enhanced delivery (CED) after surgical
removal of most of the tumor. This same treatment may be effective for
humans with brain tumors.

medication was infused into the brain to target residual tumor cells.
A follow-up MRI performed six weeks after surgery showed marked reduction in tumor size and continued presence of
medication in his brain. By then, Petey had returned to normal and had not had any more seizures.
A follow-up MRI about four months after surgery showed further reduction in the size of the tumor, said Dr. Platt. Now, more
than a year after surgery, Petey remains seizure-free.
“Petey is doing quite well! He’s back to being his old self, and to look at him you’d never know what he’s been through!” his
owner, Alexander Frame, told us in August. “I can say that we are very thankful for having Petey with us an entire year after his
surgery!”
The Neurology and Neurosurgery service recently received a large grant from the AKC Canine Health Foundation for
continuation of this study, said Dr. Platt. To refer a patient to the service for consideration of enrollment in the trial, contact the

by using as many cases as possible, with as varied a
demographic as possible to make it realistic.”
Their quest to build a collaborative network
led Platt and Kent to co-found the Southeastern
Veterinary Neurology Group (SEVEN), an organization
for veterinary neurologists practicing in the region,
in 2010. The group’s first conference, hosted by the
UGA CVM later that year, drew about 50 neurologists.
To help further their networking goals, the UGA
CVM Neurology/Neurosurgery department hosted a
two-week “Brain Camp” continuing education course
in July 2012, which drew more than 110 veterinary
neurologists and residents from the United States
and other countries. “Brain Camp” is endorsed by
the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine
(ACVIM), and is held every four years, alternating
between the U.S. and Europe.
Despite his robust teaching and research activities,
Platt finds time to be an active member of the ACVIM,

an umbrella group that certifies the veterinary
specialties of oncology, internal medicine, cardiology,
and, neurology. In 2011, he became president of the
ACVIM Neurology Specialty subgroup – a three-year
commitment.
Now mid-way through his presidency, Platt is
making headway on a number of goals that he feels are
important to the future of the profession, including
strengthening of the synergistic relationship between
residency training programs and the board-certification
process.
As part of this process, Platt helped initiate a
job-task survey of all current ACVIM board-certified
veterinary neurologists (more than 200) to assess how
to improve the neurology board examination and the
existing residencies so that the residency programs and
the exam are more focused on emphasizing skills that
practicing neurologists/neurosurgeons require daily at
this current time.

Veterinary neurology is a field that will only get
more complex, says Platt, because it deals with multiple
species, all of which are unique despite the similarities
in the neurological diseases they present with, in
addition to diagnostics. “We are technically meant to
be the people who know how to deal with neurological
cases in zoo animals, livestock, equines, cats and dogs.
The only way the specialty can advance and offer the
public a more expert opinion, as the public is beginning
to demand, is for us to become more focused on
individual species.”

The availability of a rapid, portable
diagnostic device would do more than
eliminate the need to send samples
from hospitals and doctors’ offices to
external laboratories; the technology
also can be applied in the field to
address threats posed by constantly
emerging zoonotic diseases.
Among those are the Hendra
and Nipah viruses, which have been
observed moving from animals to
humans in Australia and Malaysia.
In collaboration with the Australian
Animal Health Laboratories in
Queensland, Tripp and UGA colleagues
are developing SERS technology to
detect these deadly viruses.
“Zoonotics is where your public
health and your agricultural health
really overlap,” said S. Mark Tompkins,
associate professor of infectious
diseases at the College of Veterinary
Medicine. “So having something that’s
point-of-care, with rapid identification
of a pathogen in any number of
scenarios, would be very useful.”

Zhao also sees applications for the technology in the food service industry.
“In the future, maybe you’ll go to a fast-food restaurant and get a burger,
which we could test for bacteria right there. If we can do that, then it’d be
perfect,” said Zhao.

U.S. Senior Scholarship to research
the Hendra and Nipah viruses; his
research is being conducted at the
Australian Animal Health Labs.
Both Hendra and Nipah viruses
are carried by fruit bats. In Australia,
Hendra is transmitted to horses
exposed to bat urine on fruit and
trees, and though very rare, can be
transmitted through close contact
with humans. Hendra has resulted
in the deaths of more than 50 horses
and at least one human. Nipah
outbreaks—believed to originate
from infected bat urine on dates
consumed by pigs and people—killed
more than 20 humans in 2011.

colleagues aim to detect the viruses

collect their waste, simplifying the
surveillance process.
if they get infected by bacteria,
you have to prescribe the right
antibiotics to kill the bacteria,”
said Zhao, who is also based at
the Franklin College. “And most
U.S. doctors don’t want to use
antibiotics because it can cause the
bacteria to be resistant.”
Having diagnostic technology
on hand would allow medics to
prescribe a drug that would kill the
bacteria, as opposed to allowing it
to become resistant and endanger
others.
“At the end of the day, even if we
work with animals, we’re trying to
better protect human health,” said
Tripp. “Early detection is critical,
and early detection allows you to
take actions that you wouldn’t
otherwise be able to take.”

U.S. Census,
the county
had 14,333
residents.
Why I Give – Dr. Sam Horner (DVM ’67)
For 40 years, Dr. Sam Horner (DVM ‘67) practiced
equine medicine and surgery in the North Atlanta
area. For 25 consecutive years, Dr. Horner
has faithfully contributed to the UGA College
of Veterinary
Medicine.
Why?
“Because I went
there, graduated
and practiced
veterinary
medicine. I got a
good education
that enabled me to
work at something
I loved, and I was
able to support my
family,” he said.

bequeath their estate to the CVM to create the Martha and
Richard Lang Shelter Medicine Endowment. The fund will be
used to help educate veterinary students, clinical residents,
and the public about pet overpopulation concerns and how
to operate efficient animal shelters.
“The reason that we chose the University of Georgia was
because in talking to Dean Allen, she seemed to understand
the problems that exist in rural counties,” said Richard Lang.
“McIntosh County is extremely rural, and, in many instances,
poor.”
In 2006, a group of CVM students founded the College’s
Shelter Medicine Club. Club members and faculty work
together to develop relationships with shelter professionals
in Georgia and the surrounding region, and the students seek
out volunteer opportunities. Since 2009, the club has hosted
an annual workshop for shelter professionals, and students
interested in shelter medicine.
Horses were
always an integral
part of the
Horners’ lives, he noted. “As a family, horses were
both our business and our family hobby. My wife,
Lynne, was a very successful hunter-jumper horse
trainer, and our two girls rode in shows all over the
Northeastern, Midwest and Southeastern United
States, and they were very successful. They also won
at every top indoor show in the country.”
For Dr. Horner, giving to the institution where he
earned his veterinary degree is a pay-it-forward and
deeply-personal experience.
The College does not yet have a formal shelter medicine
program, but it has worked to expand shelter medicinerelated lectures and course offerings to students, and to help
interested students find external learning and volunteer
opportunities.
The CVM’s goal for educating students about shelter
medicine is similar to the goal the Langs have for their area:
to raise awareness of the problems associated with shelter
animals, pet overpopulation, animal welfare, and the roles
veterinarians can play in addressing these issues.
While the Lang Shelter Medicine Endowment will not
be officially established for some time, the CVM’s work
with the Langs and H.A.R.T. has already begun. Beginning
this year, CVM students interested in shelter medicine are
able to participate in externships at the shelter in McIntosh
County. (Shelter externships in other areas of Georgia and the
region are available to the students, too.)

“Giving is a personal thing,” he said. “If you get
something worthwhile out of anything, I feel you
should, in turn, give back.”
“If we can make a difference here and show that it can be
done, maybe our efforts will inspire others to do the same,”
said Richard Lang.
In addition to establishing a lasting relationship
between the CVM and McIntosh County, the Langs hope
their work with H.A.R.T and the CVM will encourage future
generations to continue efforts to reduce domestic animal
overpopulation.
“That’s why we’re leaving our estate to UGA,” said
Richard Lang. “This is meant to perpetuate the endowment.
We knew we could do that by leaving our estate to the UGA
College of Veterinary Medicine.”
