More medical equipment

August 30, 2013 by J.B.

Exciting news – we received an ultrasound machine! The machine (pictured below, on the left) comes courtesy of Pacific Vascular in Bothell, WA and is capable of doing cardiac, abdominal, and, as you might have guessed, vascular imaging. A million thanks to Pacific Vascular, to supporter Karen Gates and her son Jack for making the connection and advocating for us, and to Bob for giving us a tutorial.

Providence Medical Center in Everett, WA has come through again, this time with a centrifuge (below, on the right). Thanks Dan!

And Kittitas Valley Healthcare has donated both an endoscopy tower and a mayo stand. Thank you Judi and everyone at KVH!

We’re still looking for a steam autoclave, a laryngoscope, and a portable x-ray machine. And ideally, we’d love to have a second, more portable, ultrasound machine for doing imaging inside the chimp house when the chimps aren’t under anesthesia (especially for Burrito). So if you know of any companies that might be willing to donate these items, please let us know!

Veterinary Clinic Update

June 1, 2013 by J.B.

We’re getting closer to completing one of our most important projects to date: the creation of an onsite veterinary clinic. This project was made possible by generous contributions from Karen and Don Young, the National Anti-Vivisection Society, Project V.E.T.S., and the many Fund-a-Need donors at our 2011 and 2013 auctions. And now I’m happy to say that we have a few more people to add to this list.

Kathy Cochran, one of the best friends a chimp could have, connected us with Bud McIrvin and Dan Price of Providence Hospital in Everett, WA, and as a result we now have an incredible anesthesia machine to add to our clinic. Dan was even kind enough to drive out to Cle Elum this morning with his wife, Janet, to give me and Dr. Mensching a tutorial.
