Thirty dachshunds, commonly known as wiener dogs, trotted through the doors of the Veterinary Medical Centre's canine rehabilitation centre to take part in a research project about how dachshunds walk. Supervised by Drs. Romany Pinto, Danielle Zwueste, and Kira Penny, McCann got hands-on veterinary experience while working on the novel research project.
The project was funded by the Boehringer Ingelheim Veterinary Scholars Program. Watch our video to learn more about this research.
