Dake Veterinary Clinic

06/10/2024

Yesterday we celebrated Doc Dake’s retirement. Doc has worked for 58 years as a veterinarian while raising 7 children in Lawrence county. Throughout his veterinary career he has served on the board at the Humane Society of Joplin, served as a Missouri State veterinarian & Missouri State Representative & ran a large animal mobile practice. The past 28 years he has worked with his son, Chuck, at Dake Veterinary Clinic.

He said yesterday that he worked so long because he enjoyed the work and especially the people.

Thank you to everyone that joined us at the celebration and those of you that sent cards and well wishes. ❤️

Spring is near and the pastures are starting to turn green! 🌱
Just a reminder to make sure you have a quality mineral with high magnesium out for your cattle.
We have started to treat cows for grass tetany this week.

Grass tetany, by definition, is “a disease of livestock caused by magnesium deficiency.”
