Doc here. Just a reminder, the phone number for Tri-County Vet is now disconnected. Future records requests should be directed here to the FB page. I'd appreciate any forwarding of this on your pages to get the word out. Thanks.

Hello, everyone. Doc Henderson here. This post is a bit of housekeeping, so to speak, for Tri-County Veterinary Services. As most of you may know, I have maintained the practice phone number and answering machine over the past 7 months or so for my large animal clients to obtain their animals' records if desired. It was also a way for the folks in the area who attended the various Rabies vaccination clinics I ran in several local communities to obtain Rabies vaccination status verification if their records were misplaced or if there was a concern about an animal's status in case of a bite of a person or another pet or if their pet was exposed to a potentially rabid animal. This is to inform the public that, as of June 1st, 2022, that phone line will be disconnected. Large animal records requests and small animal Rabies vaccination status verification requests will be honored and should be directed here to the practice page. Since I don't check the answering machine as frequently as I did in the past, Facebook is probably the most efficient way for those requests to be taken care of anyway. Thanks for putting up with another of my patented long-winded posts and thanks for the support through the years. If I could impose-any who feel so inclined, could you please share this on your pages as well? Much appreciated. Catch ya down the road. Doc.

Just a quick update from your wayward retired veterinarian. Traveled to Arkansas the first part of February to visit a classmate from Vet School that helped facilitate the sale of my Bowie unit to a young vet in their area that does equine work. Got iced in there for a couple extra days, but enjoyed staying there a bit longer than planned (a poor excuse is better than none). Yes, since you asked, my truck does look "nekkid". The next jaunt was a Florida trip with my wife's Mom and sister down to the Keys. Went on Amtrak's Auto train. Much less wear and tear on a certain old guy-I recommend it. Nowadays we're waiting on some repairs on the camping trailer we recently obtained so we can get campin'! Not new, nothing fancy, but nice. We discovered the hard way last summer that tent camping, although we still loved it, was going to kill us both. So, if camping was to be done, a trailer would be involved. That's about all for now. Still figgerin' the retirement thang out, but loving it. I do miss the practice, a lot of the folks (you know who you are) and a lot of the critters-just not enough to throw the coveralls back on. Catch ya down the road. Doc.

I've tried to reach everyone I called in prescriptions for at 2 or 3 suppliers since I was unaware that the refills are expiring Dec 31st as that's when my license expires. I presumed they would be good for a year but that's not what WV allows. So, I'm relying on Facebook to help if I missed anybody. If I authorized refills for you at Valley Vet Supply, PBS or Wickliffe Pharmacy, you can contact them and stock up before the end of the year. My apologies for any inconvenience, but that's on me. Hope all had a good Christmas and that you have a better New Year.

Greetings, all. This post will serve two purposes. One is an update on your wayward, retired, brokedown old horse doctor. As I like to say, my wife and I are getting this retirement thing figured out. We've been busy around the house and babysitting as needed and did a big trip for my 40 year Vet School reunion just before Thanksgiving. Of course, we had to come back via the Gulf coast (testing the water and sand quality as we went) and caught up with kids and grandkids at Mickey's house and visited some family there as well. Doing well overall and noting the benefits of the lower stress level I have now (never realized it was an issue before, but there you are). Secondly, I was made aware just the other day that the prescription refills that I had made for clients ( thinking they could be refilled for a year) are only good till December 31st when my license expires. Most folks have used Valley Vet Supply or PBS. Those refills for prescription medications for animals I have seen in the last year are still good but only till December 31st. So...if I've authorized meds for you, you can get them, just order extra. There's no restrictions on amounts (within reason-I don't think you can order 100 bottles of bute, for example). So if you're needing something I've not already authorized, call me the land line and leave a message and we'll sort it out. Just watch the calendar-I can't help you in January. Well...that was a bit long winded! Anyway, hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year. Be well and maybe I'll catch ya down the road.
