The Children`s Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus @childrensmuseumdenver is thrilled to introduce an inspiring interactive exhibit for aspiring veterinarians on Wednesday.

Titled “Ready Vet Go,” this exhibit at the Children’s Museum Marsico Campus invites visitors to engage in hands-on play and interactive learning, immersing them in the captivating world of veterinary animal technology.

This transformation came to life through a remarkable collaboration between museum officials and Goodheart Animal Health Centers in April 2024. 🩺

🩻 The exhibit aims to enrich the visitor experience by fusing artistic elements with interactive features that spark curiosity and imagination, as highlighted by Kerri Atter, Director of Special Exhibits.

🔬 With engaging tools like microscopes, a spinning centrifuge, and stuffed animal patients equipped with radio-frequency technology for X-rays, the exhibit encourages exploration and discovery.

🖌️ Its design reflects inspiration drawn from a visit to the Goodheart Animal Health Center, where officials admired the blend of modern style and retro elements, offering a unique perspective on the veterinary process.

🎟️ Additional programming is on the horizon for the exhibit, with all Ready Vet Go activities included with museum admission.

👩‍🎨 Local artists Genevieve Smith of Magpie Painting and Dark White Gallery and lead artist Ben Mollner have teamed up with the museum to realize the vision of founding doctors Dr. Alex Robb and Dr. Beth Spencer.

“Deeply moved by the sight of children in lab coats tenderly caring for stuffed animals, they were inspired to partner with the museum for the next iteration of Ready Vet Go,” museum officials stated.

Community Animal CARE (CAC) includes sharing information so we can prevent, treat at home and know when to call a Vet. Sharing is CARING.

🍒 What is Cherry Eye?

Cherry eye happens when a dog’s third eyelid gland, (nictitating membrane) slips out of place, creating a red, swollen bump in the corner of the eye.

🐶 Breeds most commonly affected:

– Bulldogs
– Beagles
– Cocker Spaniels
– Boston Terriers
– Lhasa Apsos & Shih Tzus

💗 How is it treated?

Veterinary surgery is the most common treatment. Early care prevents discomfort and long-term eye damage.

💡 Remember

Cherry eye is not life-threatening but needs vet attention to protect your dog’s vision and comfort.

🏇 What began as a dream ranch on 27 acres became a years-long fight after Fulton County seized Brandon “Brannu” Fulton’s seven horses in 2017.

According to Capital B News Atlanta @capitalb_atl, the animal cruelty charges against Brandon were dismissed a year later, but the horses were sold, and Brannu @brannuhorse was never been paid for them.

🐴 Former animal control officer Beunca Gainor from FurEver I Love Atlanta @fureveriloveatlanta said she was assigned to the case and admitted, “When I first got his case in my hand, it sounded like he was a shitty person. I already made a judgment in my head.”

But after visiting his property, her view changed. “I decided, you know what? I’m not going to let these white people tell me what to do. I’m not going to police my people.”

⚖️ After Fulton sued, the 11th Circuit ruled he can move forward under the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause — a rare legal win that could shape future property-rights cases.

In the meantime, Fulton is rebuilding with new horses, trail rides, and plans for stables and an arena so Believe Kingdom can finally serve the community.

💔 When Canelo stopped eating and seemed weak, his family knew something was wrong.

They brought him to the Los Angeles Veterinary Center @la.veterinary.center, where tests revealed kidney failure.

The total bill was over $800, but his family still showed up for him. And so did Direct CARE, covering $500 toward his treatment so Canelo`s family didn’t have to carry the weight alone.

💙 Give back just $5/month and help us keep pets like Canelo from slipping through the cracks.
