A Creative Clinic

Legos are a classic holiday present, but Tiffany Liem from UC Davis College of Veterinary Medicine has taken them to the next level!  We'd love to see you build your own REAL clinic someday!

Pets and Pondering

As you try to find some time to relax this holiday season, make sure to laugh a little, too! Thank you to Lauren Gawel of Tufts University for sharing these little bits of joy with us!

Happy Holidays from TVG!

From all of us at SAVMA and The Vet Gazette, we would like to wish the entire veterinary student community a very happy holiday and new year!!!

In one way or another, it has been a trying year for us all - but here we are, we made it!  Please continue to stay safe, practice COVID courtesies, and we can't wait to see all of the amazing things you do in the new year!

Killer 'Whales'

As we come closer to the end of our Volume 55, Issue 4 winners, we would like to reveal the answer to our trivia question!

Q: Killer whales are often thought to be whales because of their name, but what kind of marine mammal are they actually?

The answer is...a dolphin!  Killer whales (Orcinus orca), along with 37 other aquatic species, are classified in the family Delphinidae!  They are the largest member of this family.

Congratulations to Brooke Pietrafesa of Cornell University for answering our question correctly and winning the trivia contest!  Check out our newest trivia question on our 'Call for Submissions' page!
