Veterinarians play a key role in conservation efforts carried out by zoological facilities, as they prevent and treat diseases and health conditions that threaten a species survival. As zoos continue to devote their missions to the long-term survival of wildlife, veterinarians role in accredited facilities continue to also expand. Meeting the highest professional standard of excellence in animal care and management includes state-of-the-art equipment. And we need your help to purchase them.

This #GivingTuesday Blank Park Zoo is fundraising to purchase equipment for our veterinary team, including an anesthetic monitoring device and surgical lights. The anesthetic monitoring device is crucial to animal health, as it monitors heart rate, oxygen intake, CO2 output and other critical data points in real time, aiding in veterinary procedures. For certain animals like lions or tigers, anesthesia is necessary for even routine checkups. The anesthetic monitoring device is heavily utilized in daily life at the zoo. The veterinary team is also in need of improved surgical lights, to improve the efficiency of exams and procedures. Our goal to be able to purchase this new equipment is $15,000. Please consider helping us reach our goal by donating today.
