Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center (CRDAMC) anesthetists recently had a lesson in canine-sedation procedures, courtesy of Fort Hood veterinarian, Capt. Nathan Carlton.

To further expand on the day's training, CRDAMC anesthetists will next month, begin assisting Captain Carlton during the vet clinic's surgical procedures to gain hands-on surgical experience with the military's four-legged Soldiers.
