Holbox Clinic May 12th

This clinic was held at Morelia's home and animal refugio. The check-in area also provided space for animals to be examined before the entered clinic grounds. Pets brought in just for parasite treatment were kept out of the clinic area.

Our prep area was outside under a blue tarp. As the day went on the wind blew and the tarp got lower and lower. We took the tarp down at dusk and continued to work well after dark.

Morelia’s kitchen converted to surgery. Her pet raccoon, Vanezzio, watched surgery from a ledge under the ceiling. Vanezzio is the baby raccoon in the pictures from last year. He is now full grown and has been neutered. He is very active and into everything.

It is so important to get the local governments involved in this project. Our way through customs could de made much easier with their participation. Koki was very supportive of our efforts and offered help. Our lunch was delivered by the police.

On Holbox we had a very long day. We altered 66 animals and treated over 130 for parasites. The reception area was so busy. Dr Tony and his team from Merida performed all of the exams and treated all of the animals for parasites. Animals kept arriving for surgery until 7:30 PM. Knowing this was their only chance to be altered this year we didn’t want to turn any away.
Una Mas!
