PRESIDENT’S Statement  —  November 2024

Well here we are, getting ready for our last meeting of 2024. We always say, “I don’t know where the time has gone,” but this time I really feel like the year has flown by. I won’t ramble on about the local coyotes in this letter. I’m sure everybody is aware of how that issue is progressing. There may be some things that Animal Care and Control may need help with from local veterinarians in the months to come. I’ll send out a mass email if needed. I know a number of members have seen animals that have had minor to major trauma from coyote bites. Unfortunately, I think this is the new normal.

As a reminder, Dr. Fong will be representing the California Veterinary Medical Association with an update on current political issues at our next meeting. This is your opportunity to have a conduit to our state representatives. If you have questions about telemedicine, artificial intelligence in veterinary medicine, cannabis laws, or any other things you want to ask about, this is your chance to ask Joe!

I noticed that a few members attended the Animal Care and Control Commission meeting remotely. Thank you for taking interest! I don’t know that I will be on the commission next year as I may be practicing out of the area for some time. But there are quite a few important issues that will be discussed in 2025. We really need our members to contribute to the conversations on local animal issues. The Commission is our best conduit to connect with our local political leaders. Please Consider applying for the position, or getting otherwise involved in the Commission. Any veterinarian that has practiced in San Francisco is eligible. …
