We welcome voluntary veterinary personnel to Maun to assist us as part of our ongoing SteriVac campaign. Many of our volunteers organise their visit through Worldwide Veterinary Services, but non-WVS members are welcome to approach us directly.
Project overview
The majority of volunteers' work will focus on the sterilisation and vaccination of dogs and some cats. Volunteers may also be asked to treat other conditions depending on what arises: this includes administering treatment for TVTs (transmissible venereal tumours), mange, parasites and other diseases or illnesses.
MAWS has a dedicated operating room in Maun, but outside of the town surgery may be carried out in the field under very basic conditions. Surgery will be carried out under injectable anaesthesia. All animals receive antibiotics and pain relief and are treated for internal and external parasites.
