Veterinary Medical Assistance Team 2 (VMAT 2) is currently commanded
in the field by Karen Iovino, DVM, of Virginia. The Team Commander is Patrice
Klein, VMD, in Maryland working issues from the rear.

The team has been doing assessments for the last four days focusing
in Hancock and Harrison Counties in Mississippi. We have completed a few
missions treating horses, evacuating living animals, and removing deceased
animals from shelters.

We have been providing medical care to the U.S. Army Reserves team
dogs, and we will support the Texas Rangers mounted patrol arriving soon.

Everyone on the team is doing well and appreciates the concern of
the animal community.




"To know a Thoroughbred is to be lifted up to a place of unparalleled passion,
exhilaration and transcendence. Look into the eyes of a Thoroughbred and feel
his supreme power and spirit, and you'll be lifted up to a special place of
beauty, passion, possibility and freedom." - Unknown
