Parasites, porcupine quills and tooth infections were the focus of one area veterinarian’s recent trip to New Mexico. Last month, Dr. Andrew Nebzydoski of the Wallenpaupack Veterinary Clinic, spent three days addressing the healthcare needs of animals at three Native American reservations. Nebzydoski was one of several veterinarians, along with vet technicians and volunteers who assisted animals that would otherwise not receive the necessary treatment, that includes vaccinations, spays and neutering.
