On this week's episode of Aquadocs, host Dr. Michelle Greenfield-Feig interviews Dr. Kei Hayashi professor of surgery at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. This episode highlights the collaborative effort that often occurs throughout the veterinary profession. Dr. Hayashi, then surgeon at the University of California, Davis, was asked to consult on a case of osteomyelitis (infection of the bone) in a sea lion pup at The Marine Mammal Center. After an amputation surgery, some further supportive care, and rehabilitation, the pup was successfully released back into the wild.
