Practice strengths and emphasis of the business:
|
Small animal work is consistent and includes but not limited to surgery, dentistry, routine vaccinations and exams, lab work, ultrasound, digital radiographs, and client communications.
Large animal work is mostly seasonal and includes but not limited to preg checking, processing at all life stages, obstetrical work, general surgeries, breeding soundness exams, post mortems, and consultation. Most of our work is primarily bovine centered but we care for all small ruminants and swine as well. We also provide swine consultation and herd health visits to various swine farms throughout the state.
Equine work is more limited than other areas but we do provide general wellness and routine vaccinations, lameness exams, castrations, minor hospitalization, and dental work. We are equipped for equine radiographs and will refer if necessary.
We are open to adding specialties, and incorporating areas of interest.
