What better way to celebrate national veterinary technician week by OFFICIALLY introducing our LVT Olivia Stevenson. LVT stands for licensed veterinary technician and is an educated veterinary professional who assists a veterinarian with nursing care, diagnostics, surgery and anesthesia, animal restraint, administering medications, and much more. LVTs are educated at 2-4 year college programs and must pass a national licensing exam.

Olivia grew up in the North Country and graduated from SUNY Canton's vet tech program in 2025. She grew up around animals training and showing dogs. She always loved horses and has worked with many equines from small to large. Additionally, she has experience working on dairy farms with cattle. In her spare time she can be found riding her horses, Fred and Boulder.

Olivia has already helped make all of us more effective on farm, and we are so lucky to have her!

We took a little time this past week to get together for a wet-lab to practice some equine jmaging skills (radiographs and ultrasound). Thanks Dr. Tracy for running the lab and teaching us some tips from her recent continuing education from the American Association of Equine practitioners. Thanks to our LVT Olivia for letting us practice with her very well behaved boy Boulder! These skills take a lot of practice, but help us provide more advanced diagnostics to help the horses of our practice area.

Thank you Rachael Henderson for taking some fun pictures of the whole team!

A fox in the town of Bombay was confirmed positive for Rabies virus. Rabies is a 100% fatal disease that is spread by saliva or neurologic tissue of infected animals, typically through bite wounds.

All mammals including horses and ruminants (cows, sheep, goats) can get Rabies. Farm animals with rabies do not always show the classic signs such as aggression. They can show more subtle neurologic signs such as ataxia (incoordination), difficulty swallowing, paralysis or rapid death. If you have any livestock exhibiting any of these signs, please contact your veterinarian.

The rabies vaccines are VERY effective, safe, and affordable for dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and camelids. Franklin County sponsors free rabies vaccination clinics for dogs and cats. The next one is in Malone on October 6 with our very own Dr. Tracy and vet tech Olivia! If you are interested in vaccinating your livestock animal, feel free to call us to schedule an appointment.

We would like to finally get around to giving a warm “Facebook welcome” to our new office staff!

First up is Jenna Wrye! Jenna comes to us all the way from Texas, where she had a variety of job experiences. She and her fiancé spent the last year or so exploring the country in their renovated bus, and decided to settle down here in the North Country… and we are certainly glad they did! Jenna is in charge of many important behind the scenes tasks that help us run smoothly. She manages inventory, preps and cleans equipment, keeps our office organized, and helps out in the field with procedures. Jenna is super kind, organized, and passionate about what she does. In her spare time, she enjoys kitten rescue missions, cross-stitch, and spending time with her fiance and pack of dogs 🙂 We are very lucky to have her as part of the team!

With graduation season upon us a few congratulations are in order! First up a big congratulations to Olivia Stevenson who graduated from SUNY Canton’s Veterinary Technician program!! She is pictured here during her time working with us assisting with recovering a castration, delivering a calf, and with Dr. Tracy at a rabies clinic. We are so so proud of her! 🙂 Next up congratulations to a few of our awesome past student externs: Brooke Goddard pictured here monitoring a foal patient graduated from SUNY Canton’s Veterinary Techician program, Dr. Abigail Brisard pictured here removing a tumor from an equine patient graduating from Tufts Veterinary School, and Dr. Emily Cherevaty pictured here repairing a pr*****ed uterus in a cow graduating from Ontario Veterinary College. The future of veterinary medicine certainly is bright with all these awesome ladies!
