Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital

Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital Our vision is to advance medicine by integrating world-class patient care with leadership in education & scientific discovery at Colorado State University.

Established in 1907, the Veterinary Hospital cared for local horses and cattle. In 1913 Aggie University started to offer its four-year program and began to teach future veterinarians. Since the beginning our medical standards have always been high. "We owe our excellence to those visionary founders, who through persistence and determination, laid the for all that was to come."
-Lance E. Perryman

🎉 Celebrating Tracy Greenwalt!

After 33 years in veterinary medicine — and 25 of those in our Dermatology Service — Tracy Greenwalt is officially retiring from CSU! 💛

Tracy’s passion for teaching, her deep love of animals (especially the naughty ones!), and her legendary devotion to Dalmatians have made her a beloved presence in our halls. Beyond CSU, she has spent decades in the dog show and performance world, mentoring young animal lovers as a 4-H leader, and has built a family filled with dogs, cats, goats, and cows.

Please join us in celebrating Tracy’s incredible career and her dedication to animals, students, and her team. We’re so grateful for the legacy she leaves behind. Thank you, Tracy! 🐾

Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon... 🎶
You blend right in—but not on an X-ray!

This chameleon may be a master of disguise on the outside, but radiographs reveal all. From its delicate spine to its zygodactyl toes (that’s two toes forward, two back!), this little reptile is built for climbing, clinging, and changing colors in style.

Just another day in the life of exotic vet care!

Today, on Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equity.

As of 2024, only 1.2% of U.S. veterinarians identify as Black or African American. This statistic reminds us how far we have to go to create a veterinary profession that truly reflects the diversity of our communities.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to learn from and stand alongside those shaping a more inclusive future for animal health.

Blood donors come in all shapes, sizes, and even species.

Last week, our blood bank team joined a Day of Giving event at UCHealth’s Garth Englund Blood Center in honor of .

Inspired by her dog Cora, a regular donor at our blood bank for the past three years, Stacey joined in this life-saving mission and donated blood for the first time. Together, they are making a difference!

Human and animal donors like these help save lives every day. We’re always looking for more dogs to join our donor program. If you’re curious about how it works, get all the details at https://vetmedbiosci.colostate.edu/vth/blood-bank/

Here’s to the ones who carry (or trail) their animals into the hospital like heroes, take notes during discharge, and always ask, “Is this normal?” at least twice.

Whether you go by Dad or “that guy who panics over every sneeze,” your love and loyalty don’t go unnoticed.

Happy Father’s Day!

Honoring Chewy 💚🐐

Recently, our team had the honor of caring for a special goat named Chewy. Though Chewy ultimately didn’t make it, the bond he shared with his family was clear, and our hearts were with them every step of the way.

Our team sent a small care package and card, and received this incredibly moving message in return:

“We just got a letter and care package after your great care and attention to our goat Chewy. I can’t tell you guys how much our family appreciates this extra attention to detail. My wife and I as well as my entire family are Rams and are so proud to be. My family has been in this area and more specifically in the Estes valley for over 70 years and have depended on CSU veterinary services for many of our animals. This is a picture of my family and I as we buried Chewy alongside our companions from many years. Thank you for being such a strong influence on our daughter Peyton and helping her with not only a great teaching and exposure opportunity (she wants to be a vet) but helping her say goodbye to a friend. Thank you!”

To Chewy's family—thank you for trusting us. Your words mean so much to our team. And to Peyton: we’ll be cheering you on every step of your veterinary journey.
