We provide services to most species of large* farm animals which has included exotics such as camels and zebras. However, in most cases, large animals must brought to the practice. Because we are a single doctor practice we can not leave the practice during normal business hours; there are some exceptions. Like others, the doctor has to have rest, so we won't likely be providing after hours services until such time as we get another doctor who fits our model.

Exceptions: Generally, all large animals must be brought to the practice, and contained in such a way that they are not a hazard to our staff at any time. We may provide the service of farm calls to those who are already established clients with their pets, and also not far off our normal driving route, typically within two (2) miles of U.S. Hwy 27 between Dayton and Rockwood. These farm visits are limited to Saturday afternoons, with the occasional late day visit at about 4:00 p.m. *We define large animals as anything that is not the typical dog or cat, and not small exotics. In all cases, large animals we care for must be able to be handled. If they are exotic, they must be tame. We do not provide services for any animals of any species large or small if they are unable to be handled or mean.

If we go to a farm, there must be adequate facilities, and animals must be already captured and contained or secured in a manner that is safe for our staff. We provide medical services, we don't "handle" large animals; that is the job for farm hands and cowboys. When bringing your animals to the practice, it would be beneficial if farmers bring one of their employees to assist in managing the animals they bring to us for medical attention.
