David Hodgson, DVM
Dr. Hodgson grew up in central Kansas on the family farm homesteaded by his Great
Grandparents in 1871. He obtained his DVM degree from Kansas State University in 1968.
After service with the military in Viet Nam and California he was in a mixed veterinary
practice in Lyons, Kansas for 10 years. Following 2 years of teaching and training
veterinary technicians at Colby Community College he returned to KSU to pursue graduate
studies in physiology. An intense interest in anesthesia led to a Residency in Veterinary
Anesthesia at the University of California Davis. Dr. Hodgson is a Diplomate and past
president of the American College of Veterinary Anesthesiologists. He was a faculty
member at Texas A&M University and Colorado State University prior to his return to
Kansas State University in the Department of Clinical Sciences in 1989.
Dr. Hodgson has diverse clinical and research interests. He provides anesthetic care
to a wide variety of animals including small animals, horses, food animals and various
exotic and zoo animals. He teaches students on a daily basis in the Veterinary Health
Center to help them develop their anesthetic skills.
Dr. Hodgson has become a recognized national expert in anesthesia equipment design,
function and use. He research interests include cardiopulmonary effects of various
anesthesia manipulations in multiple species. His innovative ideas have been directed
towards enhancing patient care and safety. Design and fabrication of novel anesthetic
delivery devices have been a career long interest. Helping students think critically
and scientifically about clinical anesthesia related issues has been especially satisfying.
In 2007 Dr. Hodgson traveled to Afghanistan for 6 months to teach veterinary students
at Kabul University and to treat patients daily at the Kabul University Veterinary
Clinic. He returned for 2 month periods in 2008 – 2012. Treatment of sheep and goats
represents a large number of patients presented to the Kabul University Veterinary
Clinic. Cattle, horses, donkeys, dogs and cats make up the bulk of other species.
Representing the Faculty, Staff, Students and friends in the KSU College of Veterinary
Medicine in a war torn and poverty stricken country has been a challenge and source
of great satisfaction.
Dr. Hodgson has recently submitted a research proposal to the Alpaca Research Foundation
to examine the cardiopulmonary effects of Butorphanol, Ketamine, Xylazine anesthesia
in Alpaca’s. Information from this study should enhance the safety and effectiveness
of this common anesthetic technique.
