VI. New Business
A. FCW Pet Amnesty Day: See information below from Dr. Kapustin:
FWC (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission) Exotic Pet Amnesty Day to be held at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens on November 3. They each, respectively, ask for individuals to consider surrendering exotic pets which clients may no longer wish to have or maybe should be encouraged to find more suitable homes and solicit individuals interested in adopting any of the surrendered pets. This is an effort to prevent the release of non-native species. Flyers are available on the JVMS Website. Feel free to post them at your practices and to encourage certain clients to consider surrendering or adopting an exotic pet. No penalties will be issued to anyone surrendering an illegally held species. The event is also open to just interested individuals who want to attend the event. There will be some exhibitors present with interpretative booths covering information on invasive species and other such concerns.
I am also looking for a few additional veterinarians who could assist with exams on the surrendered exotic pets (birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and mammals of many species are expected). They can bring a veterinary technician with them if they choose. A comfort level with exotics is obviously helpful. The surrender time is from 10AM – 2 PM and I ask that those helping arrive by around 9 AM. Please contact me via e-mail (kapustinn@jacksonvillezoo.org) if interested. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. My cell is 472-5988 if you’d prefer calling.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Dr. Nick Kapustin
Senior Veterinarian
Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens
B. Clay County Animal Care and Control needs help with treating heartworm positive dogs. If anyone is interested, please call Andrea Cassman at (904) 571-9948.
C. Future Business meeting location discussion. Since we no longer have a member in good standing with the club, our fees have gone up to the point where money is coming out of the JVMS account. Continued research on other venues will be continued between now and the next business meeting in November.
D. Please note the sudden passing of former JVMS member, Dr. Kelly Ann Rada, on September 25, 2012; Information can be found at the following link:
