The Oncologists at WSU are looking for dogs with masses in need of surgical removal to test new product called “Tumor Paint”. This product paints the margins of tumor while in the patient, to allow for more accurate surgical removal.

Please join us on Friday, October 12, to meet 4th year veterinary student Katrina Hartman, featured artist, to view her collection of photographs now on display in the Animal Health Library. Her photos reflect her love of photography and going “off trail.” Each picture has a story, whether an escape from a hard test week, a drive home, a quick break from driving the combine on the family farm in rural Montana. This exhibit is the 6th in AHL’s Art in the Library series. For more information about Katrina and the current exhibit, go to: http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/news/art/Hartman.aspx
