Stephanie McGrath, associate professor in neurology and neurosurgery at Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, is looking into CBD treatments for dogs with chronic pain: arthritis in older dogs, anxiety and separation anxiety, epilepsy, dementia and brain cancer.
“Our college ranks among the world’s top institutions in veterinary and biomedical education and research,” said Sue VandeWoude, dean of the college.
The Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences announced a $278 million project to expand the veterinary health complex by 2028 and increase class sizes by 30 students a year, to about 170.
Groundbreaking is expected early next year, CSU officials said, with completion in phases through 2028, transforming CSU’s South Campus as the training site for all veterinary students.
“Our college ranks among the world’s top institutions in veterinary and biomedical education and research. Our expansion plan for the South Campus, which will include updated, innovative learning facilities coupled with modern programming for academic veterinary clinicians, will help us continue our tradition of excellence in the academic mission of teaching; the assessment of novel methods for training clinical students; and our research and service to the community." -Dean Sue VandeWoude

In 2014, Carlos came to the United States for an externship in neurology and surgery at CSU. "I started to feel uncertain and began to let my dream go. Then, I met my mentor, Dr. Dan Smeak. He helped me believe my dream was achievable – not because it was easy but because I had the capabilities."
Dr. Nicole Ehrhart, who was not involved in the Dog Aging Project study, called the new research “wonderful confirmation of something that we know across all species: that exercise is good for healthy aging and that lifelong habits of exercise can be preventive for Alzheimer’s disease and other cognitive issues.”
