We have put off sharing this news because Dr. Hannah is still in denial, but we are sad to announce that Kayla is moving and will no longer be with us for appointments. Fortunately, she is still going to be helping us out remotely with some admin work such as records, ordering inventory, phone calls, etc.

Kayla has been with us since the beginning. She helped start our practice from nothing and grow it into the practice it is today. Being a large animal vet tech is hard work, but Kayla has always made it look easy. Whether it was wrangling horses or Hannah's kids, packing the truck (shes an expert at tetris), keeping us organized and Hannah safe during work, or cleaning Cameron's truck (ewww), Kayla handled it all with ease. We will miss her during our daily appointments and our occasional "rodeos."

Please join us in wishing Kayla the best with this new chapter and congratulate her on her upcoming marriage next year!❤

We will be introducing a couple new faces soon that are joining the CCVS crew!

We are pleased to announce that we are now offering equine gastroscopy services!

Equine gastric ulcers (sores on the stomach lining) are common in horses with an estimated prevalence between 50-90%.

Symptoms may include:
-Behavior changes
-Girthiness
-Weight loss
-Decreased performance
-Poor appetite
-Poor body condition
-Low grade colic

The only definitive way to diagnose gastric ulcers is via gastroscopy. This involves placing an endoscope into the stomach. The procedure is mildly invasive and is done with the horse standing.

We are very excited to be able to offer this service to the Southwest Missouri region!

Cora enjoys working cows more than some do… 😂

We love it when we have extra chute-side help, especially when it's the cutest great niece from . Miss Cora is all about helping us keep good records.

Please join us in wishing our “young Hannah” the best of luck as she begins college this week. Many of our clients got to meet Hannah over the last several months that she spent shadowing and helping us out. We wish you the best and know that you have a very bright future ahead of you!

🚨Lamar Free Fair is next week!🚨 Dr. Cameron will be at the Lamar Fair next Wednesday evening to inspect animals and record information INSTEAD of having to get health papers prior to the fair. If you already have papers, bring them along to speed up the check-in process! If your animal doesn't have official ID, he will help you to tag your animal. Official ID includes an 840 EID tag, scrapies tag, and most tags that have a state prefix. Breed tattoos are also acceptable with registration papers.

This will be tailored to our horse owners to help you prepare for when emergencies happen… since we all know that horses like to keep us on our toes when it comes to emergent situations🙃

🌟Mark your calendars for our equine client education day!
