On behalf of the College of Veterinary Medicine, I am proud to present a summary of our activities over fiscal year 2009. The College and University have faced unprecedented challenges over the past year as a result of the economic downturn that no doubt has affected many of you as well. I am continually inspired by how the entire CVM community -- students, staff, and faculty -- have pulled together to fulfill all of our missions, despite the hardships many are facing in their personal and professional lives.
The class of 2009 entered varied careers, with more than 28-percent of our new graduates going into large or mixed animal medicine. As we have seen nationally, more than 35-percent of our graduates chose to go on for advanced study; five of those graduates chose to study pathology, laboratory animal medicine and public health, all of which are areas that currently face a severe shortage of veterinarians. Two graduates entered the U.S. Armed Forces to serve our profession and our country. We will continue to encourage our students to pursue these and other underserved areas of our profession. Our students continue to be challenged by a rapidly rising educational debt load (mean and median of $110,000 per student). The scholarships donated by many of our alumni and friends are critical to minimizing this burden.
While we have much to celebrate among our students’ accomplishments, this past year also was marked with sadness as we lost a dear member of our student body, Josh Howle (DVM 2011), as a result of a tragic automobile accident. We all miss Josh dearly, as he was such a bright part of our community.
The leadership of the College has seen some changes over the past year. Dr.
Murray Hines has assumed the position of director for the Tifton Diagnostic
Laboratory following the retirement of Dr. Sandy Baldwin, who served in that role in an exceptional manner for nine years. Dr. Karen Cornell has been named Interim Director of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital after the retirement of Dr. Doug Allen, who also served in that role in an exemplary manner for 15 years. Dr. Greg Freden is the new Director of the Animal Health Research Center.
In addition to these key recruits, we have many enthusiastic, talented professionals who have joined us, some of whom are highlighted in this report. Dr. Steeve
Giguère joined us as the Marguerite Thomas Hodgson Chair of Equine Studies.
Dr. Ira Roth (DVM 1986) joined us as Director of Community Practice, through the generous support of Merial. Drs. Don Harn and Biao He are Georgia Research Alliance Distinguished Investigators who joined us to enhance our efforts in research of infectious diseases.
We are grateful to Gov. Sonny Perdue (DVM 1971) for including funds for planning our new Veterinary Medical Learning Center in his FY 2011 budget recommen-

dation. We anxiously follow the debate in the General Assembly in hopes that this allocation is approved. This facility is critical for faculty retention and to increase our enrollment in the DVM program. Once the new facility is built, we will gradually boost our annual enrollment to 150. Our ability to educate and graduate more veterinarians will help provide veterinary services for our fast-growing state. The support of our alumni and friends in this effort is vital. Raising private funds for this project is crucial to its success. Our campaign to raise funds for this badly needed facility is described in this report.
These are difficult economic times for everyone; nevertheless, the College and University persevere to serve all our missions in the face of decreased state funding, with deeper cuts possible in the near future. Some difficult, but necessary, budgetary decisions have been made. Faculty and staff have experienced pay cuts in the form of furloughs, while their cost of health insurance premiums increased. We have eliminated more than 50 positions in the College, thankfully through attrition (no layoffs).
Throughout this process I have been deeply impressed by the spirit and dedication of our faculty, staff and students in working even harder to make sure we not only serve our missions of teaching, research, and service, but also that the College continues to progress in the realm of discovery and innovation to better serve our stakeholders.
Faculty, staff and students alike have all identified measures and taken appropriate action to increase revenue wherever possible and diminish the cost of operating without negatively impacting the quality of the educational experience that has been and always will be a fundamental value at the University of Georgia.
No doubt many of you have endured hardship in your professional and personal lives this past year. I am continually inspired by the achievements and dedication of our alumni who work so hard every day to bring further recognition to their families, our profession, and to themselves. Likewise, I am forever grateful for the unwavering support provided by our devoted alumni and friends, without which much of what you read about in this report would not be possible.
Please let us know if you would consider receiving this report electronically, which would greatly diminish the cost of production and mailing, and allow us to direct your contributions to other alumni activities. Information about how to elect this option is provided on the back of this publication.
All of us strive to sustain and improve upon the College of Veterinary Medicine’s tradition of excellence, and hope that you will take pride in your affiliation with us. We welcome your input as we work to improve in all our missions. Please call (706-542-
3461) or e-mail me (sallen01@uga.edu) at any time. Better yet, stop by to say hello the next time you’re in Athens!
As always, thank you for your interest and support of the College.

The South Carolina Association of Veterinarians (SCAV) has a long-standing tradition of making a significant difference in the lives of our students, staff and faculty at CVM.
SCAV has pledged a generous $50,000 toward the building of our new Veterinary Medical Learning Center. In addition to providing more room to expand Hospital services and add new technologies, the new facility will also provide additional classroom space that will enable the CVM to boost enrollment by as much as 50-percent.
SCAV officials join us each August to welcome new students at our annual White Coat Ceremony; SCAV also sponsors each white coat given to a student who calls South
Carolina “home.”
(l to r) Drs. Roger Troutman, Ginger Macaulay and Allen
Finley from the SCAV passed out drinks at the annual
GVMA BBQ (Aug. 22, 2007).
A few days later, SCAV helps host our annual Back to
School Barbecue, furnishing drinks for this fun event, as well as volunteers to help distribute them to students, faculty, staff and other guests.
Each spring, SCAV sponsors the South Carolina Association of Veterinarians Leadership Award, two $1000 scholarships presented to second-year students who are residents of South Carolina. Each award recognizes a student who has demonstrated leadership skills and exhibits a positive and professional attitude in the field of veterinary medicine.
SCAV has been a consistent donor to our College for more than 30 years. We greatly value our partnership with
South Carolina veterinarians. Thank you, SCAV!

sue myeRs smith The 2009 White Coat Ceremony welcomed 102 new veterinary students— the Class of 2013—into the College of
Veterinary Medicine, Sunday, Aug. 16, 2009.
From the time we greet our new students at the start of the fall term, throughout their educational pursuit at
CVM, the Georgia Veterinary Medical
Association provides a multitude of opportunities and events for our students, as well as for our faculty and staff.
Each August, officers and representatives from GVMA host our annual
White Coat Ceremony – a tradition
GVMA helped initiate in 2001. The organization provides white coats for each new student who is a Georgia resident, GVMA’s president is the keynote speaker and the organization also sponsors the reception. A few days later, every year, GVMA hosts our annual Back to School Barbeque.
In addition, GVMA provides coveralls to juniors who are on a mixed animal, food animal, or equine track.
Each fall, it sponsors a career fair luncheon for our large animal students.
Every spring, rising seniors are each given copies of “The 5 Minute Veterinary Consult.” And the last two Februaries, the GVMA has helped CVM host a career day for our students; the event provides opportunities for resume feedback, as well as interviews for job openings and externships.
GVMA’s Auxiliary supports our students and their spouses by providing five cash awards each year: Outstanding Auxiliary Member and Outstanding New Auxiliary Member, both $50 awards to spouses who have shown outstanding leadership and service;
Outstanding Sophomore Student
Award, $150 for exemplary academic performance and involvement in extracurricular activities; Outstanding Junior Student Award, $150 for exemplary academic performance and involvement in extracurricular activities. The Auxiliary also provides our annual Veterinarian-of-the-Year
Award, $1,000 to a senior who has demonstrated professionalism, commitment and scholastic excellence.
In addition, GVMA has pledged
$100,000 toward the building of our new Veterinary Medical Learning
Center – a facility we need greatly, as we have outgrown our current Teaching Hospital, which was built in 1979.
GVMA has been a faithful partner to our College for more than 30 years.
Thank you, GVMA!

Uga VII pictured with Dr. Shannon Boveland, Dr. Simon Platt and Dr. Nicole Northrup.
Our dear friend and cherished mascot, Uga VII, passed away suddenly shortly before Thanksgiving.
“Seven” was only four years old.
And while he only served as mascot for a mere 18 months, he will live on forever in the hearts of UGA fans everywhere. Within hours of the official announcement of Uga VII’s death, donations were already pouring into the College; people who were giving toward the future of this great institution, in memory of our friend.
It is well known by all who grace our doorstep that we are in great need of a new Veterinary Medical Learning
Center that will include a new animal hospital. This building is needed so that we can better fulfill our mission of educating tomorrow’s veterinarians who will take care of the growing population of animals in Georgia.
Frank W. “Sonny” Seiler, his wife,
Cecelia Seiler, and the Seiler family – owners of all the UGA mascot “dawgs”
– have urged Uga’s fans to commemorate his memory by making a gift to the
UGA College of Veterinary Medicine to support our building campaign.
100 percent of your tax-deductible gift will go toward the building of our new

R esearchers from the College have made an unexpected dual discovery that could open new avenues for treating Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, or “Ich”, a single-celled protozoan parasite that commonly attacks freshwater fish.
With the aid of whole-genome sequencing, researchers found that Ich harbors two apparently symbiotic intracellular bacteria:
Bacteroides, which are usually found free-living, and Rickettsia, which are obligate intracellular bacteria. The two bacteria represent new species.
Five researchers from the College’s department of infectious diseases worked on the project in collaboration with two researchers from the department of microbiology and immunology at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, and a researcher from the J. Craig Venter Institute. Their initial intent was to map the genome of Ich; the DNA sequencing was done by JCVI and funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Their study is published in the December 2009 issue (Issue 23) of Applied and Environmental Microbiology with an image from the study on the cover.
It was the presence of Rickettsia DNA sequences found in the initial genome data that provided scientists with a clue that bacteria might live inside of Ich. Intracellular bacteria have been described in free-living ciliates such as Paramecium, but never in
Ich, which is an obligate parasite.
“It was unexpected; it was stunning to find bacteria in Ich.
And, it came about due to the genome sequencing,” said Dr. Harry W. Dickerson, a co-author who has been studying Ich in the veterinary college for more than 20 years and a member of the
UGA Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases, which has a focus on parasitic diseases, primarily of humans. “Ich occurs world-wide and is one of the most common protozoon pathogens of freshwater fish. It is easily recognized by most aquarists, and fish farmers often are confronted with massive epizootic outbreaks to devastating economic effect.”
Ich (which causes “white spot disease”) is a ciliated protozoan parasite that bores into the skin and gills of fish where it feeds, destroying tissue and thereby blocking exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, usually leading to death of the host. Each parasite grows on the fish from roughly 40 microns, which cannot be seen by the naked eye, to approximately one millimeter in diameter, which can easily be seen as a white spot. The parasites leave the fish in about 5-6 days (a ciliate with its typical large nucleus is shown in the image). Each cell then divides multiple times to produce up to
1000 more infective organisms. The entire life cycle takes about
6-7 days. With subsequent rounds of infection the number of parasites continues to increase, and each wave of re-infection becomes more deadly than the last. By the second or third re-infection the fish population is usually overwhelmed and fish begin to die. Fish that survive mild infections can develop immunity.
There are currently no drugs or chemicals that kill Ich while it resides in the fish skin or gills; they can only kill Ich when the parasite is in the water, and therefore all current therapies require a cyclical re-treatment program.
The first major outbreak of Ich in North America was recorded at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. Ich is a well-known problem for aqua-culturists, aquarium owners, pond owners, hobbyists and retailers of freshwater fish. People and birds can also carry the parasite, unknowingly, from pond to pond.
“Work to sequence the genome of this parasitic protozoan unexpectedly revealed that bacterial DNA sequences were also present,” noted Dr. Craig Findly, one of the College’s researchers on the project. “Following up this discovery led to our demonstration that two new species of intracellular bacteria use Ich as their host. We now need to determine if these intracellular bacteria play a role in infection.”
Next, the researchers will try to determine what role the two organisms play in the physiology of Ich and whether Ich remain infective if the bacteria are removed. The scientists hope their finding takes them a step closer to developing better treatments for Ich.

couRtesy uga NeuRology seRvice
M eningoencephalitis (ME) is an inflammatory disorder of the brain and its surrounding membranes that affects primarily small dogs, especially toy and terrier breeds. Dogs with ME develop neurological signs very quickly and often die due to a lack of ideal therapies. Researchers in the
CVM neurology service are working to determine the causes of
ME so that the disease may one day be treated more effectively and efficiently.
“Trying to treat these dogs when they come into the Teaching Hospital is particularly frustrating because some of them do not respond to therapy,” said Dr. Renée Barber, a veterinarian and resident in the neurology department who is working on the study as part of her Ph.D. program. “It is hard to not be able to effectively treat your patients, so I wanted to try to understand these disorders better so we can develop more effective treatments.”
CVM neurologists see two to five cases of ME per month.
Typical symptoms range from mild (such as lethargy and depression) to severe (e.g., seizures, loss of balance and weakness, visual deficits and blindness), to death if left untreated. Dogs that survive a bout with ME may require lifetime therapy, and the dogs are often considered “in remission” rather than cured.
“I was initially drawn to the study of idiopathic meningoencephalitis because there are some who believe these are autoimmune diseases,” explained Dr. Barber.
“I have always been fascinated by autoimmune diseases since they are the result of the body attacking itself. There is so little known about autoimmune diseases, in people and dogs, that they are an important area of research.”
Dr. Barber and Dr. Scott Schatzberg, the principal investigator, are currently studying two major aspects of ME: possible infectious agents involved (e.g., viruses and bacteria) and possible genetic factors that may predispose specific breeds to the disease.
Through these studies, funded by the Morris Animal Foundation, the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation and the Pug Club of America, the researchers hope to find better, complementary ways to treat ME; one possibility is to modify breeding programs to eliminate the disease from certain gene pools.
Their search for infections that might trigger ME has been predominantly negative. However, recent landmark work from the Schatzberg lab has identified changes on several chromosomes that likely contribute to ME in certain breeds. Work is ongoing to confirm these findings and to identify specific genetic mutations.
Dr. Schatzberg credits Dr. Barber and the other neurology faculty members (Drs. Marc Kent and Simon Platt) as well as the neurology intern and residents (Drs. Amy Wood, Joe Eagleson,
Courtenay Freeman, and Allison Haley) for playing a major role in the ME studies. The entire department routinely identifies cases for inclusion in the studies and works tirelessly treating the patients with ME, he said.
Dr. Schatzberg believes that ME in small breed dogs is likely due to several factors. His theory is that abnormal genes lead to abnormal responses by the animal’s immune system when the dog encounters certain “triggers” in the environment; those same “triggers” might otherwise be harmless in a dog with normal genes. “Certain breeds like Pugs may develop ME because their immune response goes into overdrive and inadvertently ends up attacking the dog’s nervous system,” he said. Such a response makes this an autoimmune problem of the central nervous system, and most current treatments are aimed at blocking this abnormal immune response.
Along with additional genetic studies, Dr. Schatzberg and his colleagues plan to focus their next round of ME studies on evaluating the response to new therapies.

Jeff Sanford (3rd from left) from the UGA SBDC visits with Drs.
Shari (left) and Jimmy Cobb (2nd from left) of Winder Corners
Animal Clinic in Winder, Ga., on Oct. 7, 2009. Veterinary student
Carole Amos (right), class of 2010, participated in the Veterinary
Practice Management Externship with Sanford and produced a report for the Cobbs’ veterinary practice.
C arole Amos considers herself fortunate.
The fourth-year student at the College of Veterinary Medicine is close to finishing her studies and, as
Amos prepares to start her career, she can draw from a wealth of previous experiences to assist her. Prior to returning to school, Amos spent several years working in the financial industry as the manager of a Charles
Schwab practice.
That business experience, she said, will prove valuable as she enters into professional practice, but it’s a relevant background that most veterinary students lack when they graduate.
“You get so little business training in the actual core curriculum,” said
Amos. “I think a lot of the students come straight from college, and they have had almost no business classes.
Somehow, I guess, they think this knowledge of how to run a clinic is going to be bestowed on them.
Everybody needs to have some business experience as part of their studies.”
Thanks to a joint partnership between the College and UGA’s
Small Business Development Center, students are able to get that experience through an externship program that focuses on the cultivation and implementation of business skills as they pertain to veterinary practices.
Funded by Hill’s Pet Nutrition,
Inc., the Veterinary Practice
Management Externship program is based upon a simple premise: The primary focus in veterinary medical education deals with the science and clinical training, yet managing a practice requires an understanding of basic business skills.
“Sitting in the classroom and absorbing information that was totally alien to a lot of (students) wasn’t the best way to teach them about running and managing an animal hospital,” said
Jeff Sanford, the externship program director. “(This program) lets them put those theories into practice.”
Students devote three to four weeks working with a particular practice in the areas of finance, budgeting, marketing, personnel and other various management-related areas. During their rotation they are given responsibilities that require them to have a hands-on role in the day-to-day business operation. This relationship is mutually rewarding.
Drs. Jimmy (DVM ’88) and Shari
Cobb (DVM ’87), owners of Winders
Corner Animal Hospital in Winder,
Ga., said students like Amos helped them identify various areas of cost savings to help increase their efficiency.
“We didn’t really have anything like this, and a lot of the learning we had to do (when we graduated) came on the fly,” said Dr. Shari Cobb.
“What they’re doing here is giving the students that experience before they head out into the professional world, and that’s something that we sure could have used. And that’s why this is such a valuable program.”
There are also intangible benefits for practitioners that cannot be measured by statistics or performance reports, noted Dr. Mike Younker
(DVM ’82), another participant.
“Our benefit comes, in part, by having young blood and new ideas in the clinic,” said Younker, who co-owns
Fayette Veterinary Medical Center in
Fayetteville, Ga. “It’s the opportunity to connect with a prospective doctor, someone who may join your practice one day, and we get a good look at them. We also get a look at some of the new stuff being taught today and some of the new methods being used, so it brings a freshness to our office.”
Motivated by their experiences, both Younker and the Cobbs gave donations to help support the program.
This mutually beneficial relationship is a primary reason why the program has proven to be so successful.
“The externship under Mr.
Sanford’s supervision allows the students to learn about running a veterinary practice by gaining direct exposure,” said Dr. Sheila Allen, dean of the College. “In return, the practice owner gets a comprehensive analysis from an outsider’s perspective on what works well in the practice and what could be improved.”
Sanford said it is that real world experience that is driving the interest.
“Will they be an expert in business? Probably not, but they do get exposed to the theories, principles and best practices of animal hospitals,”
Sanford said. “From my observations, it’s a whole different perspective when you’re actually in it. You’re working on your practice, rather than in your practice.”

T he gift of scholarship is one that will forever be engraved in the memory of the lucky and deserving student who receives it, but when it comes to kennel club scholarships, it’s also a gift that keeps on giving in a multitude of ways.
Each year, for as long as anyone can remember, 10 area kennel clubs (see list) have given scholarship awards every spring to CVM students who meet each club’s criteria. An eleventh club, the
Spartanburg Kennel Club, long ago endowed a fund and gives an annual scholarship from its proceeds. An Honors and
Awards committee, comprised of faculty and students, makes all of the decisions about scholarship recipients.
“The Kennel Club awards add up to easily more than $225,000 just in the last
10 years, and that does not include the scholarship awards from the endowed fund,” said Kathy Bangle, director of veterinary external affairs for the College.
“The College greatly appreciates the clubs making these scholarships available to the students each year, and the students are grateful that we are able to offer a wide variety of scholarships to help fund their veterinary education.”
The clubs give for many reasons, but in all cases the award stems from their members’ love of dogs and their collective desire to help and to encourage a small animal veterinary student who has a fondness for dogs and a desire to pursue canine medicine. For some clubs, the annual scholarship gift is also an opportunity to pay tribute to a departed member who was active in the club and the canine community during his or her lifetime.
The Atlanta Kennel Club, founded in 1900, gives four $2000 scholarships each year in the names of former members. When a member dies, the club’s board decides whether to give a scholarship in that member’s name, explained
Janet Lucree, who has served as the club’s treasurer for the last seven years. “These are members who have contributed a lot to the dog community, so the club is honoring them in that way,” Lucree said.
The Atlanta Kennel Club scholarships are given in the names of: J. Wen
Lundeen, Herman and Judy Fellton, Roy
L. Ayers, Asa Mays DVM, and Gloria and Paul Karelson.
Ayers was president of the Atlanta
Kennel Club for five years, served as vice-president for five years, and on the board of directors for more than 25 years; he also served as the club’s delegate to the American Kennel Club. In addition, Ayers was an all-breed judge for the
American Kennel Club and was considered one of the nation’s top breeders and exhibitors of collies from the late 1940s through the early 1970s. Following his sue myeRs smith death in 1993, the club honored him with their first Lifetime Achievement
Award and the board named a scholarship in his memory.
“It was a surprise. It was a wonderful honor,” recalled his daughter, Linda Ayers Turner Knorr. Knorr and her brother, Roy L. Ayers Jr., are AKC judges, just like their father. At the time of his death,
Ayers was recognized by the American
Kennel Club as one of only eight allbreed judges in the United States.
“Advancing veterinary science to promote better breeding programs for healthy animals was at the top of my father’s agenda,” said Knorr. “Since their two children attended the University of
Georgia, my parents were avid Bulldog fans. Being honored with a scholarship in his name by the Atlanta Kennel Club would truly delight my father.”
“The Atlanta Kennel Club’s Delegate to the American Kennel Club, Ann
Wallin, brings my mother to the CVM
Annual Awards dinner every year. It is a highlight of the year for Mother to meet the exceptional students who earn the
Roy Ayers Scholarship. How wonderful it is to see these all-breed dog clubs recognize that there is no better way to invest in the future of their sport than to educate those responsible for the health of their animals,” Knorr said.

Club members also recognize the importance of supporting the College, and of having it as a resource to all animals and their owners who live in the area, said the representatives we talked to.
“The kennel club members wanted to support the school and they realized it was an investment in the future and in the veterinarians who will be coming out into practice,” noted Gail LaBerge, an active member of the Lawrenceville
Kennel Club for more than 20 years. “I call it preparing our future veterinarians, because eventually you lose the veterinarians you start with because they do retire, and we want to encourage the students.
There is a great deal of cost in becoming a veterinarian now.”
LaBerge, who is also active with the
Atlanta Kennel Club and the Dachshund
Club of Metropolitan Atlanta, enjoys attending the annual awards banquet because she gets to interact with CVM students.
“I’m always so impressed with their intelligence and with the broad spectrum of their interests and the things they have done and that they are planning to do,” she said.
Many of the clubs also give back to their community in other ways. Atlanta
Kennel Club helps junior handlers (10 to 18 years old) cover expenses to dog shows, and they also match scholarships that are awarded by the American Kennel Club to junior handlers entering college, said Lucree.
In addition to providing scholarship money to CVM students, the Conyers
Kennel Club is very active in its local community.
“As Conyers Kennel Club is a nonprofit organization, we like to give back to the community,” said Merry Carol
Houchard, who has been active with the
Conyers club for more than 20 years.
“We support 4-H club camp students, a family at Fort McPherson at Christmas and the Rockdale Food Bank. We also bought a drug dog for the Newton
County Sheriff’s Department and bullet proof vests for dogs who work in law enforcement in Rockdale, Henry and Newton counties.”
The Conyers club gives $2,000 each year to a student who hails from their tri-county area, or who would like to practice their tri-county area. The club then renews the scholarship for each year the student is enrolled in the CVM, as
Roy ayeRs

Ayers Turner Knorr, Todd Turner, Roy Ayers and Roy L. Ayers Jr.
long as the student keeps up his or her grades and continues to meet the club’s scholarship qualifications. Only Conyers and the Douglasville Kennel Club give awards that are automatically renewed each year the student qualifies.
Houchard says that while this can be a significant annual financial commitment for the club, the arrangement allows Conyers’ members to get to know each scholarship recipient because they follow the student throughout all or most of his or her veterinary education.
“They interact with the club; they come to the shows; they come to the
Christmas party. They have a good relationship with the club and club members, which the club members really appreciate,” said Houchard, who added that the club’s ties to the College are strengthened, too. “We like to know what our students are learning, and in return the kennel club can teach the students more about purebred dogs.”
Cheryl Bettis, now a third-year veterinary student, received the Conyers
Kennel Club Scholarship in 2009. She has a desire to learn more about purebred dogs, their specific medical issues and the concerns of breeders, since she anticipates having breeders as future clients.
Bettis said knowing the scholarship is renewed each year is “an immense financial relief”; she is also grateful for the chance to build relationships with the members.
“It is especially helpful for students like me who have to borrow all they can for living expenses. I appreciate the generosity of the club members in helping support me through my education,” Bettis said. “I try to send them an email update once per month to their newsletter list-serv and some members will communicate with me through those emails as well. I do hope to remain in contact with the club members in the coming years.”

Dr. Alice “Libby” Mewborn Dreesen (DVM ’58) and Dr. David W. Dreesen (DVM ’60) couRtesy of DRs. DaviD aND libby DReeseN
T hat middle-of-the-road veterinary student – one who exhibits great potential and needs just a little financial help – is the kind of student Dr. David W.
Dreesen (DVM ’60) and his wife, Dr. Alice “Libby” Mewborn Dreesen (DVM ’58) desire to help forevermore, by bequeathing a scholarship known as the “Dr. David Walter
Dreesen Scholarship Fund.”
“Each year we would go to the ‘Honors and Awards
Celebration’ program and scholarships were always awarded at that time; it seemed like they went to the top academic students in the class, occasionally others,” said Dr. Dave
Dreesen, who retired from the College of Veterinary Medicine faculty in 1998. “Having been in the median area of my class myself, I thought (others) needed to be taken care of in that median area as well.”
In his will, Dr. Dreesen is leaving the College an endowed scholarship to benefit a veterinary student entering his/her third year, who can demonstrate financial need and whose grade point average is in the middle 10-percent of the second year class.
The Dreesens liked the ease of giving to the College this way. They also liked that by endowing a scholarship, and setting the parameters for it, they could ensure their award would honor a student who might otherwise be overlooked every year in perpetuity.
Having been married while attending the College, the
Dreesens said they had considerable debt upon graduation, so they well understand the need for any financial support that may be available. They both also know that the growing prominence of the College has made it a more competitive environment and a more expensive place to study. Both are also very proud of the College and all the ways they have witnessed it change through the years, especially Dr. Libby Dreesen, who was the seventh woman to graduate from the College.
The gift of a scholarship allows them to help others get an education at an institution they both believe in and to which both are dedicated.
Dr. Dave Dreesen joined the faculty in 1977 and retired from the department of medical microbiology (now the department of infectious diseases). Dr. Libby Dreesen spent much of her career with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, specializing in poultry. She also did relief work in small animal clinics in North Atlanta area and helped her husband establish the first veterinary clinic at the Atlanta
Humane Society when he was the organization’s executive director from 1971 to 1975. Their daughter, Laura Light, is a registered veterinary technician and a nurse supervisor in the College’s Small Animal Teaching Hospital.
Before joining the College faculty, Dr. Dreesen had been employed by the USDA and the Georgia Department of Health; he also served as a veterinary scientist for the World Health Organization. In 1975, WHO sent Dr.
Dreesen to the Caribbean for two years, where he worked in several countries (Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent) toward the control and prevention of rabies in vampire bats, mongoose and domestic animals.
Dr. Dave Dreesen continued his public health and rabies work once he joined the College and, with the help of his students, conducted many of the clinical trials that would ultimately lead to the development of pre-exposure rabies vaccines. He also conducted research on toxoplasma in swine and campylobacter in poultry, and on the transmission of these pathogens to humans. Dr. Dreesen said he always enjoyed interacting with students who were, like him, interested in the non-traditional areas of veterinary medicine. Following his retirement, he continued to give lectures and also helped create the College’s DVM-MPH dual degree program.
The Dreesens’ retirement years have been busy, too.
From 2001 to 2006, Dr. Dave Dreesen served as the executive vice president of the American College of Veterinary
Preventive Medicine. He also served on the board of directors for the UGA Alumni Association from 2005 to 2008. In
2000, he was awarded the AVMA Public Service Award for outstanding contributions to public health and regulatory veterinary medicine. In 1995, the College recognized him as a Distinguished Alumnus. Dr. Dave Dreesen chairs his local planning and zoning commission and serves as president of their homeowners’ association.
Both Dreesens are active in select UGA activities including the President’s Club and the Heritage Society. They are members of the Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art, enjoy concerts at Hodgson Hall, and are season ticket holders to UGA football, baseball and basketball games.
They both continue to enjoy travel and are avid readers.
And then of course, there is the immense joy of their four grandchildren!

R espect for his peers, love of equine history and the desire to share those traits while also educating today’s budding equine practitioners have combined forces to help drive
Dr. Jim Woods (DVM ’71) toward an ambitious goal.
A few years ago, Dr. Woods began participating in the
College of Veterinary Medicine’s “Brick by Brick and Step by
Step” program of purchasing plaques, adorned with horseshoes, to help raise money toward a new Veterinary Medical Learning
Center. His goal was to buy one plaque to honor each president of the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) -- by his own estimate that will take 15 years!
“Unless someone else wants to help,” he said laughing.
“My intention is to continue to do this myself.”
Dr. Woods, a retired equine veterinarian who spent much of his career working with racehorses, originally intended to accomplish his goal anonymously, then changed his mind.
“Sometimes if you show what others have done it helps people understand the need for giving back to the university,” he said.
What he liked about the “Brick by Brick and Step by Step” program was that it gave him an outlet to honor leaders in the equine veterinary profession, while simultaneously allowing him to contribute toward CVM’s goal of raising $15 million to help build a new Veterinary Medical Learning Center.
Dr. Woods also found the program to be a good outlet for recognizing fellow classmates; he has coordinated the purchase of bricks to honor deceased members of the CVM’s
Class of 1971.
“This is something we could do to honor (our classmates who have died),” Dr. Woods said, adding that the experience was also one of fellowship: “… it is also a tribute to our class bond, having been together for those years.”
Dr. Woods said he personally knew 10 to 15 of the
AAEP presidents, and that he also belonged to other equinerelated organizations, including the Pennsylvania Harness
Horsemen’s Association, yet he never took on an active role in any organization.
“I worked too hard,” he laughed, with a note of regret.
“I just always felt that I should have been more (involved). It was difficult for me with my schedule to be more involved than I was.”
Now, he said, he would encourage veterinarians to be as involved as they can be in veterinary organizations.
“I think that many times the people you meet in vet school and your colleagues are the people who best understand you and your family,” he said, emphasizing that these are the people who can relate to your circumstances both professionally and personally.
Dr. Woods spent most of his career working in
Pennsylvania, Florida and other regions of the country with an active horse racing circuit; in 2002, he and his wife, Carol, returned to Georgia. They now live on a farm. Retirement has enabled Dr. Woods to find time for both his horses and his community.
He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the
Harris County Chamber of Commerce; is active with the
Harris County Rotary Club; is a member of the Friends of the Harris County Library and chairs the Harris County
Republican Party. He and his wife own DCD Rivercat, a Quarter Horse and one of the top cutting horses in the
United States.
“I’m from Harris County,” he declared with enthusiasm.
“I was always going to come home!”

Dawsonville, Georgia
W e own a small ranch in Montana, and we also live in Georgia.
We haul our horses out West and back every year. In 2006, when
Skip came off the trailer in Montana he was lame on his left rear leg. I gave him some rest time to see if he would heal on his own, but he did not. All that summer we were in and out of veterinary clinics, and we were given a variety of diagnoses and treatments. I even took him to an equine chiropractor; nothing seemed to help. My heart was truly broken, as I was afraid I had forever lost my friend to this lameness; we had ridden together through 24 of our 50 states.
Upon arriving back in Georgia in November, my veterinarian suggested that we go to the UGA Large Animal Teaching Hospital to see if they could solve Skip’s lameness problem. Skip got a basic exam, then had x-rays and an ultrasound done. The tests revealed Skip had a deep tissue tear in his left rear pastern. I was told to keep him on stall rest for six months, hand walking him only, and that Skip was not to be ridden or allowed to run for a year. We made quite a few trips back to UGA, but Skip seemed to improve with each one.
After his year of rest I began riding Skip again. I am so very grateful for the team at the Teaching Hospital for making the correct diagnosis and for giving me back my wonderful Skip to ride and love and enjoy.

Studies, photographed for the 2009 Annual
Report on Dec. 1, 2009.
D r. Steeve Giguère’s interest in equine medicine arose from growing up around horses. However, his interest in research really took off after seeing some unusual cases of partial paralysis in foals. As an intern, Dr.
Giguère encountered several foals infected with Rhodococcus equi that presented with abscesses compressing their spinal cords. R. equi typically manifests as pneumonia with abscesses in the lungs, but in these cases, the compression caused by the
With more than 70 refereed papers to his credit — more than half of those on various diseases and conditions affecting foals — as well as numerous book chapters and a book on antimicrobial therapies, Dr. Giguère has researched everything from vaccines to diagnosis and treatment of infections such as
R. equi, a treatable pathogen that seldom affects adult horses.
He recently has focused on how to treat foals infected with antimicrobial-resistant strains of the disease, and also on trying abscesses paralyzed the foals’ hind limbs. Dr. Giguère became fascinated with the pathogen and, as a result, published a series of case studies; he also made it the topic of his doctoral research.
Dr. Giguère, the first to better understand why it is that foals are susceptible to the pathogen while adults are resistant. His other research areas
recipient of the Marguerite Thomas Hodgson
have included the use of antimicrobials in horses and the study of cardiovascular monitoring in neonatal foals.
His teaching creden-
Chair of Equine Studies at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary
Medicine, has since become an award-winning researcher and teacher, most recently receiving the Intervet/Schering-
Plough Animal Health Applied Equine Research Award at the
World Equine Veterinary Association Congress held in Guarujá-SP, Brazil in September. He comes to the College from the University of Florida’s College of Veterinary Medicine, where he was a professor of large animal medicine and head of the neonatal unit.
“The main reason (I was interested in working at UGA) was that many people work in similar areas of research — inflammatials are equally impressive, and he has received numerous teaching awards stretching from his days as a resident at
New Bolton all the way to the highest veterinary teaching honor bestowed each year: the Carl Norden-Pfizer Distinguished Teacher
Award, which he received from the veterinary college at the
University of Florida in 2006.
“Dr. Giguère is a talented researcher, teacher, and clinician — a genuine triple threat,” said Dr. Andrew Parks, head of the College’s department of large animal medicine.
For Dr. Giguère, teaching was not his original intent, but rather a manifestation of a self-discovery.
tion, immunity and infectious diseases — so there will be more opportunities for team work and collaborations,” said Dr. Giguère.
His education has taken him from the University of Montreal, where he completed his doctorate in veterinary medicine and internship in equine medicine and surgery, to the University of Pennsylvania’s New Bolton Center for a residency, then back to Canada to complete a Ph.D. in veterinary microbiology and immunology at the Ontario Veterinary College at the
University of Guelph.
“I always intended to work in an equine practice after veterinary school. However, during my internship I really enjoyed teaching students and I decided to pursue advanced training in order to remain in an academic environment,” he said, adding:
“There is nothing more gratifying than seeing the evolution of a veterinary student from their first day on clinics, when they have much theoretical knowledge that they do not know how to apply, to their last rotation, when they have evolved into astute young clinicians.”

Dr. Kelsey Hart, left, and Dr. Michelle Barton, right, draw blood from a foal.
R esearchers at the College are studying the role of cortisol and how it may help boost the survival rate in critically ill foals. Their findings could also help critically ill human infants.
When a foal, or a human infant, is stressed by an infection, the brain normally releases a hormone that stimulates the release of cortisol from the adrenal gland to help the body cope with that stress and fight the infection.
Cortisol is a steroid that mobilizes sugars to give you energy, helps control blood pressure, and helps keep the immune system in check so that it does not overreact to illness.
Sometimes the body does not respond to stress appropriately, causing a sick patient to show low blood cortisol levels, a condition known as “relative adrenal insufficiency” (RAI). When the patient develops RAI due to a serious infection, it is known as “critical-illness-related cortisol insufficiency” (CIRCI). CIRCI is associated with higher likelihood of mortality, but studies in adult humans have demonstrated reduced death rates when these patients are supplemented with a synthetic cortisol called hydrocortisone.
Dr. Michelle Barton and Dr. Kelsey Hart have performed a series of research projects to determine if supplementing CIRCI foals with synthetic cortisol leads to a higher likelihood of positive outcomes, and to determine proper dosage for optimal results. Their work is shedding new light on the old concept of using steroids to help the body fight infection, explained Dr. Barton, the Fuller E.
Callaway Professorial Chair in the large animal medicine department. Drs. Barton and Hart, a large animal internal medicine clinician and a Ph.D. candidate, are hoping to find an inexpensive treatment that will increase the likelihood of survival and also decrease complications.
Their efforts have culminated in a multi-center, double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial involving collaborators from the University of Florida, Cornell
University, Texas A&M University, Auburn University and several private equine practices around the country.
Funding for this ambitious project has come from several sources, notably the National Institutes of Health, the
Grayson-Jockey Club Foundation in Louisville, Ky., and the American Quarter Horse Association.
Assuming the participation in the study reaches between
80 and 100 foals over the coming foaling season, they hope to have publishable results in about a year. During this clinical trial, when one of the study centers admits a foal that is in septic shock, they will check to see if it fits the study’s criteria. If it fits the criteria and the owner is willing to participate, the foal will be enrolled in the study and it will receive treatment according to the study’s protocol.
The clinicians at the treatment center will not know whether they are administering a vial of hydrocortisone or a placebo such as saline — this is the “blind” part of the study — and they will report their results to Drs. Barton and Hart for analysis. Because the clinicians are “blinded” during the study, they do not know which foals are in the control group and which foals are in the treatment group, so a potential bias cannot influence the outcome of the study.
The patients’ owners are “blinded” as well, since they will not know which form of treatment their foal received. The

Dr. Hart examining a sick neonatal foal foals in both the control group and the treatment group will receive the same additional forms of treatment and supportive care that would be given routinely.
Dr. Hart, who completed her residency at the College in
2008, said she never thought she’d pursue a graduate degree in physiology, and never dreamed that she would love lab work or be able to obtain funding for veterinary research from the NIH — a feat that is “notoriously difficult.”
“I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to do my graduate work in the lab of Dr. Barton and Dr. Jim Moore [a professor of large animal medicine] here at UGA,” said Dr.
Hart. “In addition to the top-rate and diverse basic science and clinical research going on in the large animal medicine department, the degree of cooperation and collaboration among researchers here is second to none.”
Researchers often need start-up funding to perform preliminary studies, the results from which can be used to apply for grants to help fund more extensive studies. In this case, the “White Fox Farm Fund” at the College (given by
Karen and Dewey White) provided the initial funding for these studies.
As Dr. Hart and Dr. Barton wrote grant applications for their subsequent studies, they found that their early data spoke for itself: they received funding from every organization they applied to, and actually had to turn down some of the grants they received. But, without that seed money from the
College’s fund, none of this would have been possible.
“I have been astounded by the scope of research we have covered over the past four years,” said Dr. Hart. “These studies have opened up opportunities for collaboration with researchers in animal science and pharmacology at several other universities and private practices, as well as with a human criticalist and a human neonatologist who conduct similar research in people. I am thrilled by the chance to work in conjunction with such a wide range of brilliant and wellrespected researchers at this stage in my career.”

F or more than two decades, UGA veterinarians have provided veterinary care and management oversight for the livestock herds that feed Georgia’s prisoners.
It started in 1986 as an agreement between the Georgia Department of Corrections and Cooperative Extension, and was aimed at boosting efficiency of the state’s swine herds. Within a few years, the agreement followed an associate professor who relocated from the College of
Agriculture to the CVM. Nurtured by the CVM’s department of population health, the partnership has blossomed into oversight of the state’s swine, beef and dairy herds. In October 2007, the program jumped the state line to form a new pairing with the South Carolina Department of Corrections.
The South Carolina agreement calls for the CVM to provide consulting services to help manage the state’s dairy herd—approximately 500 cows, of which about 275 are milked twice daily. The program is already growing.
South Carolina is building a new dairy, slated to open in November 2010, that will allow the system to expand the herd so that 1,000 cows can be milked daily, said Herbert Dew, Branch Chief for Agriculture for the South
Carolina Department of Corrections. “The milk produced in Wateree is homogenized, pasteurized, fortified

with vitamins A and D and reduced to 2-percent fat content, then packaged in six-gallon containers,” explained
Dew. The milk leaves Wateree, travels to a central warehouse in Columbia, and is then distributed to the state’s
29 prisons, providing milk for 24,000 inmates.
“The dairy has a mandate to be self-sufficient and the goal is to create a large, modern dairy similar to the best private herds in the area,” explained Dr. Michael Overton, an associate professor who, along with veterinary students, provides the CVM’s consulting services for the dairy herds in both states.
About once every six weeks, Dr. Overton, Dr. Isaiah Smith, who is a Food Animal Health Management graduate student, and three to four fourth-year veterinary students travel the three-and-a-half hours one-way to Wateree. It’s an overnight journey, allowing time for the students to help provide care and treatment to ailing animals, as well as training to inmates and staff. A local veterinarian, who provides routine care to the herd, interacts with the students and Dr. Overton, and also sits in on the training sessions.
Dr. Overton, who joined the CVM faculty about four years ago from UC-Davis, has noticed a growing trend that could yield a side benefit to rural areas having difficulty attracting veterinarians to serve their large and small animal communities.
“Most of the students that we take on dairy visits are those on a food or large animal track. But what I am noticing, and am pretty happy about, is we are creating enough interest in mixed track or even small animal students participating because they want to learn more, and they are having fun,” he said. “So in the past we have offered two dairy rotations, but next year I have had to offer three to get everybody in.”
Students also participate in site visits throughout Georgia to farms that keep swine and beef herds, overseen by other instructors in the department of population health.
“Many of the concepts of population health management are similar among beef, dairy and swine management,” said Dr. Overton.
He reminds every student that a food animal rotation is different than a rotation in the Teaching Hospital.
“Our emphasis is taking a step back and looking at animals on a population basis and understanding how do we manage, how do we house, and how do we feed the population to minimize the risk to the individual. So that is the training opportunity; the preventive management approach of nutrition, housing, and implementing management protocols,” he said.
“Institutional herds offer unique challenges and opportunities as compared to privately owned herds, and usually have fewer time constraints. When visiting a private herd and working with the owner operator, time tends to be more limited and it is imperative that we are more efficient with our work. They are very interested in increasing milk production and overall profitability,” Dr. Overton said.
“We visit one of our private herds every other week. We see the Georgia prison herd on a regular basis as well, but it’s a larger herd. They milk about 1,700 cows three times a day and it’s a very well-run herd, so the students get a chance to see a variety of levels of production.”
At institutionally owned dairies there is a need for ongoing training; prison administration is interested in the bottom-line, but inmates who work the dairy do not get a pay incentive, and there is a lot of turnover with inmate labor.
The need for on-going training provides additional learning opportunities for the students who not only prepare the training materials but also conduct the training sessions.
“(The dairy rotation) taught me about the dairy industry as more than just (providing) the medicine for treating sick animals but (also) how to evaluate the production system and make suggestions for improvements” said Rachael
Bodiford, a fourth-year veterinary student on a mixed-track.
“My favorite part of the program was that we, the students, were encouraged to work on problems alone and make suggestions that were then evaluated by Dr. Overton.”
Because the work opportunities differ between the dairies, the students have different learning opportunities based

on whether they travel to Wateree or to the Georgia prison dairy in Reidsville.
“In Georgia, we do the hands-on stuff: the pregnancy evaluations, the surgeries, treating sick cows. With the
South Carolina herd we may do a little bit of that in conjunction with the local veterinarian but most of what we do is training and protocol implementation and monitoring,” said Dr. Overton.
The CVM-prison partnership programs offer side benefits, too.
“We are able to teach inmates job skills while producing food products at a cost savings to the taxpayers of the state,” said Joe English, the state farm administrator for the Georgia Department of Corrections. “We strive to produce the products that we can grow and process at a savings as compared to purchasing from outside entities. With the central warehouse and distribution system in place we can use our combined buying power to secure favorable prices for products that we are unable to produce. The menu and inventory system allows us to forecast future needs thus allowing time for efficient production.”
The College also hopes to develop opportunities for ongoing, collaborative research at both prison programs.
To date, the Georgia Department of Corrections has participated in a few clinical research projects and both prison systems have indicated a willingness to have their herds participate in research projects in the future.
“The agreement that exists between the DOC and CVM is an example of government doing what is right,” said English. “The CVM gains access to a large teaching laboratory in a commercial setting. Corrections gains access to a group of very knowledgeable professionals to assist with the management of a very large and diverse agricultural operation.”

Samantha (left) and Carrie (right) are award-winning purebred Black Angus heifers that live on a farm in Oglethorpe
County, Georgia, not far from the University of Georgia. When they are not grazing in the pasture or gazing at passersby, the two are most likely shoring up their showring skills. Their owner and trainer, Shelby
Eidson, is a high school student who plans to become a middle school agriculture teacher so she can share her love of agriculture with her future students. Shelby competes year-round with her heifers, which change with each show season.
Shelby’s mother, Tanya Eidson, works in the
Dean’s Office of the College of Veterinary
Medicine. Samantha and Carrie won numerous awards in 2009 and will compete through Spring 2010. (Owner: Shelby
Eidson; Photographer: Sue Myers Smith)

is your name missing?
In this annual report to donors are the names of people who have made gifts to the University of
Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine that were processed through the Office of Development between
July 1, 2008, and June 30, 2009. There are several reasons for your name not appearing in what you believe to be the appropriate giving level — or not appearing at all:
1. You made your gift either before July 1, 2008, or after June 30, 2009.
2. You made a pledge instead of an outright gift. If you made a pledge between July 1, 2008, and June 30,
2009, but chose to begin fulfilling it after June 30, 2009, your name will not appear in this honor roll, which reflects only gifts received.
3. We omitted your name in error. If so, we would like to hear from you. If you have questions or corrections, contact the Office of Development, 501 D.W. Brooks
Drive, Athens, GA 30602-7371. You may also call
706.542.1807, or e-mail us at give2vet@uga.edu
