Pretoria - Two University of Pretoria (UP) veterinary surgeons have performed life-saving heart surgery on two dogs by using a ground-breaking technique.
This is a first in the 100-year history of the Faculty of Veterinary Science in Onderstepoort and an exciting way to start the next century of veterinary service to the country, the university said in a statement on Sunday. Dr Adriaan Kitshoff and Dr Ross Elliott, who are specialist veterinary small animal surgeons working in small animal surgery in the department of companion animal clinical studies, saved the lives of seven-month-old French Bulldog Daisy and a six-month-old Cocker Spaniel called Tallen.
