Endangered red wolf from Washington zoo receives novel operation at OSU veterinary hospital
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Specialists at Oregon State University’s veterinary hospital operated Tuesday on a rare red wolf from the breeding program at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Washington.
Chester, who was born at the Tacoma, Wash. zoo nearly two years ago, is one of only about 260 red wolves remaining in the world.
The procedure went smoothly and as of Wednesday morning, Chester was back home in Tacoma, bright-eyed and very excited about his breakfast.
“We’re feeling really excited and hopeful that this will help give him a good quality of life and help him feel better,” said Dr. Kadie Anderson, associate zoo veterinarian at Point Defiance and a 2011 graduate of OSU’s Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine.

Sampling Suggests 32 Cases Per 1,000 Redmond Residents
Oregon State University COVID-19 sampling in Redmond two weeks ago suggested 32 people per 1,000 in the community carried the coronavirus during January 29-31.
“This is one of the higher prevalence estimates we’ve seen in our work with Oregon communities over the past year,” said TRACE-COVID-19 project leader Ben Dalziel, an assistant professor in the OSU College of Science. “It indicates the true number infected is much higher than the number of active cases.”
TRACE co-leader Jeff Bethel, an associate professor in OSU’s College of Public Health and Human Sciences, said the results demonstrate the importance of determining a COVID-19 prevalence estimate for Redmond with winter continuing strongly in Central Oregon.
