Gold Coast Veterinary Service & Consulting

12/31/2023

Dear valued clients and friends, I am very thankful for all the support, love and friendship I have received from you over the past 9 years. I am blessed that I have met so many wonderful people and animals in those years. I learned so much from you on a personal as well as professional level. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I have made the difficult decision to close Gold Coast Veterinary Service and Consulting Inc. by the end of this year. However, excellent patient care will continue through Dr. Alyssa Shelby at Kokopelli Veterinary Center mobile services! All medical records have been transferred to Kokopelli Veterinary Center.
Some of you might remember Dr. Shelby when she worked part time with me. I love Dr. Shelby’s enthusiasm, motivation, and excellent patient care, and I am confident you will be excited to work with her as well.
Dr Shelby graduated in 2017 from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine where she developed a passion for large animal reproductive medicine. She is happiest when she is out on the road doing various ranch calls. She also has a passion for surgeries. She is looking forward to working with you all and will continue to provide you the quality care you have grown to expect from Gold Coast Veterinary Services. Her contact information is either via phone at the clinic 916-683-4029, Tuesday-Friday 8-5pm or via email at [email protected]. Mobile clinic hours are from Tuesday-Friday, 8-5pm, with exceptions being made for earlier appointments during the summer months to avoid the heat. Dr. Shelby will be seeing all species (including horses!) and will cover heard health, sick appointments, surgery, reproductive work, and health certificates. If you have any questions regarding services or prices please reach out to her directly. Emergency services will not be offered at this time and we refer to UC Davis for after hours emergency services if needed.

Thank you for all your support and if you need to contact me please use [email protected].

Happy New Year

Dr. Varga

Many of you had the pleasure of meeting our hardworking veterinary student externs as they helped us care for your animals. During their time with us, they have created some great handouts that we are excited to share with all of you. The first in our series is "The Beginner's Guide to Hoof Trimming".

Hoof trimming is an important aspect of sheep and goat care. It is something that you can learn to do yourselves to proactively prevent lameness issues and infections . Here is a helpful guide to get you started! If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment for us to help with this, please let us know.

Thank you Laney and Hailey for a fun two weeks! From sheep and goat wrangling to flipping pigs, these two always had a great attitude and eagerness to learn. I think we convinced them just how great mobile mixed animal medicine is! Hope to see you again soon and best of luck in your second year! 🐄 🐑 🐐 🦙 🐖 🐕 🐈

We love helping this little guy! We ♥️ cattle 🐄

Henry has had some complications from his banding procedure last month. Luckily Gold Coast Veterinary Service & Consulting has been able to see him a couple times now to get him back to feeling his best. He is very tired of his antibiotic injections but has been such a good man. Thank you to Dr. Michael for being so patient with my boy and for treating him like he is a beloved pet and not just a cow ❤️

We love veterinarian students and love to share our knowledge with them! Welcome with us Laney and Hailey! They just finished their first year of veterinary school and are interested in learning more about livestock and mixed animal practice. Their favorite patients so far have been the baby goats! We love baby goats tooooo! ❤️❤️❤️

We appreciate all our clients who help to educate our veterinary students!
