a sufficient number of appropriate cadavers (i.e., intact males and females, appropriate size and body condition)?
The ability to obtain the necessary number of appropriate cadavers will vary according to the caseload at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. As an example, Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine (TUSVM) had a caseload of 21,484 dogs and cats in 1999. Approximately 240 animals per month (canine to feline ratio was about 2:1) were euthanized at the request of the clients, and approximately 20 animals per month were donated to teaching programs. About 8% of clients who request euthanasia for their cats and dogs donated their pets’ remains to TUSVM teaching programs.
