Around the College
October is here! The leaves may not be turning yet but fall is in full swing around the UF CVM. Here are just few shots from the previous month, photos taken in some cases by us and in some cases provided by others.

Kathleen Hornsby brought her dog, Mica, to UF’s Small Animal Hospital Sept. 17 for her annual recheck examination. Mica received the first total knee replacement surgery ever performed at UF and is doing well, according to her surgeon, Dr. Stan Kim, shown at right. “She’s actually done better than we ever could have hoped for,” Kim said.

WCJB/Channel 20 reporter Chris Gilmore interviews Dr. Janet Yamamoto outside of her laboratory in the college’s Veterinary Academic Building on Oct. 2. Yamamoto’s latest research relating to cross-reactivity between human HIV-infected blood and the feline immunodeficiency virus was featured in a national news release that garnered plenty of local as well as national media coverage.
