Yukon Quest Vet Checks
/Yesterday was vet checks! We took the Yukon Quest hopefuls into Fairbanks to get an extensive examination by Quest veterinarians. All the dogs passed with flying colors, so now to choose the final fourteen!
As head vet Nina Hansen described, “We do a full physical exam, so we assess their cardiovascular status, their hydration, their bones, joints - we put them through a range of motion - we look at their teeth, their eyes, their ears.” The veterinarians also check their heart, lungs, and temperature.
Six days and counting!
