What a great surprise! I'm learning more and more about the veterinary school at UC Davis every day these days, and the more I learn the more I really like them!

A little story - Robin has been having trouble with her calcium oxate crystals lately. Seeing as we were still in So Cal, I took her to another vet to get another opinion. After seeing her xrays and the amount of crystals in her ureters, this vet exclaimed "I have never seen this before! After checking with my associate vet, she says the only vet in the country that can do surgery to clear these crystals is Dr. Gregory from the veterinary school at UC Davis. You might want to contact him about her."

I was feeling pretty low about all this Friday night so I googled Dr. Gregory from UC Davis, found his email address and sent him an email about Robin. Today I got a really nice email back from him explaining a little more of what he does, telling me where he is and the name of his clinic and letting me know he would be happy to see Robin if we got her up that way. I was thrilled just to get a response, and then he was so friendly and helpful it almost made me cry knowing there were such good people out there who cared about a kitty they've never even met.

Anyway, just wanted to relate that little story about my recent experience with the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. What a great place!
