Remember this little gal? 8 weeks ago she sustained a pretty nasty fracture. Today, she is healed, weight bearing and has just one little area of inflammation that we covered to protect from the weather. Anesthesia in the field on any species is tricky, but fortunately it’s not our first rodeo and with a little luck we got what we were hoping for!

04/30/2024

We have no words other than to offer thoughts and services where they may be needed to our friends and clients in Westmoreland and surrounding the town. Please make note emergency services are available as well as temporary boarding or housing of lost animals or animals needing treatment is available. We have many friends in the area. We have been told by them to please notify individuals that unless you are part of emergency personnel or are a member of the affected community please do not go towards Westmoreland.

Please offer some prayers tonight for those affected…

Another successful BSE days in the books! 95 bulls averaging 2100lbs were examined for reproductive soundness as well as administered preventative health measures to prepare for the spring breeding season! A HUGE thank you to all the doctors and team
members of our practice who were able to handle these animals safely and efficiently and complete all that was needed averaging 3 minutes and 45 seconds per animal! Another tremendous thank you to our corporate sponsors including Zoetis, Boehringer Ingelheim, Merck Animal Health, and Elanco as well as the tremendous help from our local community including Wertzberger Ranch Equipment, The Friendship House, and Mr. Clayton Good with the Tyner Insurance Group. Also a huge thank you to our clients whom trust us with the health and oversight of these animals! It’s not easy work, but it is in support of an industry and way of life that supports everyone on a local, national, and global scale.

We haven’t been the best this year at documenting how our “spring season” is going, often just not time for it. However sometimes it just takes one picture to sum it all up and remind us why we do what we do.

Proof positive that every creature, irregardless of species, enjoys a scratch under the chin! It’s been a whirlwind of emergencies lately, and the beginnings of our busiest season but a little time with some
different species we work with helps to keep things balanced and interesting!

01/08/2024

For the safety of our staff and as the weather situation has begun to worsen, we have decided to close early for today as of 4pm. Emergency services are still available. If you have a life threatening emergency please call the office and you will be directed to the veterinarian on call. Drive careful and stay warm all!

This is how we start the new year off! Our first assisted delivery of 2024! Now only another 150ish days of calving, lambing, kidding and foaling before the “spring” season is over!

So excited for the new year, sometimes you just want to jump for joy (and like the year 2023 duck and get out of the way!)

We wish everyone a great start to the new year and thanks to all for another amazing year of being able to serve our local communities!

July days are best spent in the middle of an over 20,000 acre ranch surrounded by over 2,500 head of cattle and providing routine care to over 30 ranch horses working with some of the best ranch hands in the state! Extra bonus, you get to end the day with some of the pleasure horses and it inevitably leads us to the expected “short vet, short horse, tall vet tall horse” joke that we all knew was coming!

It’s been a bit of a rough week for our equine patients. From head to foot, it’s been an interesting last few days! 7 inch stick removed from the leg of one mare, and a close call on a laceration to the gelding!

See it…. Do it….Teach it….

8 years of extensive training is now put to the test! Our new associate Dr. Forge has done a wonderful job adapting to “the real world” of veterinary medicine. One of the key missions of our practice is teaching the next generation how to put all their knowledge to work to ensure the future of our profession. With over 60 years of combined veterinary experience, Dr. Shauna, Dr. Akers, and Dr. Brian are excited for the opportunity to work with Dr. Forge and greatly appreciate the welcoming mentality our client base has offered! (it’s also nice to have a younger vet with better knees and less chronic physical injuries to attend the dentistry needs of our mini horse clients!)

T Minus 5 days to some exciting news!
We would like to announce the addition of Dr. Lane Forge to our practice. Dr. Forge is a kansas native from St. George and is a familiar face for some of you as you have seen him in our clinic as both an employee and as an intern. Both he and his wife Alexis live in Manhattan and we are excited to add them to our practice family. His skill sets in both companion and mixed animal practice are going to be a great benefit to the communities and counties our practice serves!
We appreciate sincerely all of you whom have worked and been flexible with us over the past year as we have had to balance a tremendous caseload and have been working extended hours (and quite honestly are running on fumes) as we searched for an appropriate team member to become a part of our practice. It’s exciting for us to add Dr. Forge and now having 4 veterinarians available is a very much a needed advancement in our commitment to providing veterinary care and services that we hope are unparalleled!

All creatures of all sizes! We went from a 1,200lb horse to a 1.4 oz parakeet. To put that in perspective, it’s like comparing the weight of 1/3 of an SUV to the weight of a double AA battery! Just another normal day.

As calving comes to a close (finally!) we move on to the next stage which is getting cattle to grass. This means extensive amounts of preg checking, vaccines, branding, and tagging. It is only appropriate this time of year to recognize all the things that help us accomplish this feat. Tonight, we begin with the crooked and leaning corral fence present on every single cattle operation across the country!! We appreciate that fact that for 364 days out of the year it can contain hundreds of animals with the staunch resistance enough to stop a herd of elephants. It is that one day this time of year though, where it really shines. The slightest bit of excitement turns this formidable barrier into a gateway for an unplanned exit strategy that can send 2/3 of the cattle to parts of the pasture not seen by humans in 100 years! The bold strategy employed by this quiet failure leads to a day that takes way longer than planned and often times the words “she looks pregnant” or “those don’t need shots, they have herd immunity” are uttered, while extensive amounts of curse words in languages yet to be deciphered fill the background. Its careful lean allows for each and every animal to hurdle over it without so much as a scratch to them or to itself. Tonight we salute you crooked corral fence, for years we have told ourselves to correct you, but it seems your character is just too much to change!

So, we are WAAYY behind on our social media presence! It happens when there isn’t really any down time to capture all the chaos that late spring in a mixed animal practice brings! so, here’s a quick photo dump of what we have been up to. No explanations, just long days and going in overdrive to get it all done!
