From Dr. Vandan Modi's desk :

" Conventional methods for detecting viral diseases can be laborious, sometimes ineffective. PCR provides rapid and accurate results. It's ability to amplify specific DNA sequence makes it powerful diagnostic tool.

It can detect pathogens such as virus, bacteria, fatal diseases such as FIP in felines, canine distemper, apart from being an important tool for detection of haemoprotozoal parasites.

We are grateful to our esteemed donors who supported us in procuring this equipment ".

Mast cell tumors is highly common in dogs and represents the third most common tumor subtype. It is the most common malignant skin tumor in dogs, corresponding to 11% of skin cancer cases.

Most MCTs seem to be caused by a complex mix of risk factors, some environmental and some genetic or hereditary.

Low-grade mast cell tumors tend to have good long-term survival rates of greater than two years, opposed to high-grade MCTs tend to have a poor survival rate, with a median survival time of only two to three months if left untreated.

Dolly is with us now, under treatment for her MCT. She lives with wonderful people in a housing society who take care of her. Keeping our fingers crossed for her.

Animal facility staff and volunteers are everyday heroes, working tirelessly to repair broken bodies and spirits and often dealing with emotional, physical, and mental fatigue to give animals a second chance.
To all our colleagues and all over the world - a huge shout out and thank you for being who you are and what you do.
