Missouri Flat Animal Hospital

We’ve heard some rumors circulating, and we’d like to take a moment to clear things up for our clients and community.

Dr. Robinson has not retired, and our hospital is not closed. He is here, continuing to see patients and care for your pets with the same dedication and compassion you’ve always known.

As many of you are aware, Dr. Robinson is planning for retirement in the future. As part of that process, we are currently exploring the possibility of selling the hospital. We do have a doctor working with us temporarily who has expressed interest in purchasing the practice. At this time, no final decisions have been made.

Dr. Robinson plans to remain with us after the sale for at least six months, and possibly up to two years, to ensure a smooth and thoughtful transition when the time comes.

Please know that you will always hear important updates directly from us first. Until then, it is business as usual, and our team is here for you and your pets.

If your pet needs to be seen, don’t hesitate to give us a call. We’re happy to get you scheduled!

Thank you for your continued trust and support 💚

Not every patient who comes through our doors has a leash… or even a home address.

This week included treating a very feisty squirrel with a rather unusual injury. Let’s just say — no two days in veterinary medicine are ever the same.

Caring for animals, wild or domestic, is something we never take lightly. It’s one of the many things that keep this job interesting (and keeps us on our toes).

Just another day at Missouri Flat Animal Hospital, with your favorite neighborhood vet.

Let’s have some fun — tell us about your pet!

This is Dr. Randy’s dog, Snuffy, who was very interested in getting his photo taken.

If you’ve visited the hospital recently, you may have seen him following Dr. Randy around… or let’s be honest, usually snoring somewhere nearby. 😴

Now we want to see YOUR pets!
Drop your pet’s name and personality in the comments!

First puppy visit for this sweet girl!

She was brave, curious, and earned plenty of praise along the way. Puppy visits aren’t just about vaccines. They’re about building trust, monitoring growth, and helping new puppies feel safe and confident at the vet. This little one did amazing, and we can’t wait to watch her grow!

These cold mornings can be tough on our senior pets ❄️

If your older dog is moving a bit slower, having trouble getting up, or just not quite themselves, chilly weather can make stiff joints more noticeable.

If your dog could use some extra support, give us a call. We’re always happy to help and talk through options to keep them comfortable.

We’re excited to have Dr. Uhl, our traveling orthopedic surgeon, here at Missouri Flat Animal Hospital today!

Dr. Uhl performs advanced orthopedic procedures such as TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) and Extracapsular (ExCap) ACL repairs for dogs with torn cruciate ligaments (the canine equivalent of the ACL in humans).

What is a TPLO you ask?
A TPLO is a specialized surgery that stabilizes the knee by changing the angle of the tibia. This allows dogs to walk comfortably again without the painful “sliding” that happens when the ACL is torn. It’s especially helpful for medium to large-breed, active dogs.

Signs your dog may have an ACL tear:
• Sudden hind-leg limping
• Difficulty rising or using stairs
• Sitting with one leg kicked out
• Worsening lameness after activity

We are one of the few clinics in our area able to offer TPLO surgery, thanks to our partnership with Dr. Uhl. If you suspect your dog may have a knee injury, give us a call. Early evaluation is key to preventing further damage.

If you suspect your dog has an ACL tear, call our office to schedule a consultation with Dr. Robinson to learn more about treatment options.
