EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS: New Team Member! 11/07/08 - Please join us in welcoming our new associate veterinarian, Dr. Katie Rainwater. After a year-long small-animal internship with Georgia Veterinary Specialists, Dr. Rainwater has joined our staff, which will allow us to better serve our clients. A graduate of the zoological track at UC Davis and a California native, she has a colorful history of globetrotting animal experience, including leading research groups studying black howler monkeys in Belize, working with ringtailed lemurs in Madagascar, and studying elephants in Namibia. Despite the lack of wild elephants and lemurs in Mt. Pleasant, Katie seems to be adjusting well to her new home in SC.
