The “Old Timers” show tonight at the Baker County Fair was a lot of fun and brought back some old memories. Being involved in activities like this growing up is what struck my interest in veterinary medicine. I always enjoy watching young exhibitors work hard on their projects and be successful.

Hey Everyone!! I just wanted to give everyone an update. In 4 days I get to marry my best friend, Lyndsay! As you know, I am dedicated to being available to all of our clients for emergency purposes. However, I have decided to take some time off to actually be able to be present during this exciting time. The office will be closed Wednesday, September 18th through Sunday, September 29th. If you have an emergency during this time, I would recommend reaching out to the University of Florida Large Animal Hospital at 352-392-2229. The office will reopen on Monday, September 30th. Thank you for understanding and allowing us to take this time to celebrate.

I also want to take the time to thank Mom (Mrs. LeAnn) for everything she has done for the office. She didn’t necessarily sign up for this job. Early on, Derek and I were feeling burnt out from the constant ringing of the phone while trying to see patients. We would forget to call people back regularly because it would get buried in the long list of missed calls. One morning I told mom that we couldn’t handle the phone in the truck anymore and asked her to take it. She took it without hesitation and she helped get our scheduling, inventory, and records established and well organized. I will be forever grateful for all she has done! Mom will be passing that torch to Lyndsay. Many of y’all have already met Lyndsay as she’s been with me on the truck. So help me thank Mom for all she has done. And yall take it easy on Lyndsay as she transitions to doing it!!!

Thank you all for entrusting the Rigdon Vet team with the care of your livestock!

Happy Wednesday! As fall season approaches this brings on fair season and as well as many horse shows, and also a very exciting time for Dr Rigdon as he and Lyndsay will be ringing the wedding bells very very soon. If you are in need of health papers for the livestock shows please contact the office via text and we will advise on how we need to go about getting these done. We need to also let everyone know that at this time Dr Rigdon is not taking on new clients until further notice. We are currently booking mid to late October at this time. If you need to schedule an appointment, please expect this time frame when you call.

Hey everyone! This is Dr. Brad. I just wanted to remind everyone that I will be out of town and unavailable August 16th- August 25th. If you have an emergency during this time, please contact UF Large Animal Hospital at 352-392-2229. Thank you so much for your understanding as we enjoy some time away from this demanding profession. We will return to normal business hours on Monday August 26th. Have a great week!

Sometimes Dr.Rigdon has many assistants on a case! 😂 we hope you are all enjoying your Summer. Dr.Rigdon will be on vacation August 17th-24th. Please plan accordingly and give us a call to get an appointment scheduled today. If you need any refills on medications please plan ahead for that as well because the office will also be closed during that time.

As we approach July 4th, I just wanted to let everyone know that the office will be closed in observance of Independence Day. If you are an established client and have an emergency, I will be reachable by phone. Please use the 904-228-6644 number and there will be instructions on the voicemail for emergencies.

I am so grateful to live in the greatest country in the world. Where we have the freedom to worship the Creator of the universe. Thank you to our troops who have fought for this country so that we can enjoy peace and freedom in our everyday lives. I hope that you enjoy time with family celebrating the birth of the United States of America. Happy Independence Day!!

I want to take a moment to show some appreciation to Derek and all of his hard work. After I started my practice in August of 2021, I soon made the decision to hire Derek as full time veterinary technician. Since that time, the practice has grown, as well as my relationship with Derek as a brother and coworker. Derek has poured countless hours into the practice to help make it a success. He has been with me from those early days of starting the practice. Over the last 3 years, he has played many roles and is always willing to take on any task that is thrown at him. Any veterinarian knows that having the right technician is critical to being successful. Derek is always one step ahead of me when we are working with clients or patients. He knows how to make the day flow smoother, how to make my job easier, how to handle difficult patients, and most importantly how to keep both of us safe. I am so grateful for all that he has done!

I wanted to let everyone know that Derek’s time with Rigdon Veterinary Services is coming to a close. No, we didn’t get in an argument haha! But the Lord has opened a door for him to pursue a different path. I am beyond excited for Derek as he enters his new journey, but I am also very sad to not have him on the truck any longer. His last day will be on Friday, April 12th! I will miss his assistance and I will miss that time together in the truck as brothers and friends. So as we approach Derek’s last week, please help me thank him for all he has done! Derek, you will be missed!

Today I had the privilege of teaching some 4H students the basics of equine health. As a former 4H student, I love capturing these opportunities to educate the next generation.
