⚠️Attention clients⚠️
Shipping costs have nearly doubled in the last month. We are trying to stay as reasonable as we can but some fees have been adjusted. Shipping fees apply to any lab work sent out (coggins, general bloodwork, samples, etc). We are hoping this is temporary and we will continue to do our best to keep costs fair.
-Thank you for your understanding

While I’m not one to share much of my private life I wanted to say thank you for everyone’s patience while I was away last weekend. It was a big weekend as I got married🥰👰🏻‍♀️
Don’t worry, I’m not moving or leaving the area and yes my name will be changing but even I will take a while remembering😂

Thank you all for the continued support
~Dr. Clapp (Simpkins)

“Doc I didn’t know she was pregnant…”
We can fix that!
Ultrasound is so much more than just pregnant or not. It’s a comprehensive reproductive picture. We use it as a tool to examine all the normal structures as well as pregnancies. Once a pregnancy has been found, I evaluate the embryo (and if there is more than one). In this case, this cow is pregnant with a 34 day embryo with a great heart beat!🐮
In cows we can see them as early as 28 days!

Test your eyes to see if you can see the flicker🫀👀

“No more nuts November” 🥜✂️
Castration procedures can be costly so let’s make a deal!

📌November 16th-18th will be dedicated to a castration promotion. This deal applies to horses, cattle, pigs, sheep and goats (yes Dr. Simpkins will do multiple species at the same visit if you have them).
💲Cost will be different amongst species because procedure varies and necessary pharmaceutical differences. Please call for specific pricing questions.💲

‼️‼️Please note: your animal MUST have tetanus vaccine on board prior to surgery. Your animal will receive a booster at time of surgery but previous tetanus prevention is your responsibility. We can absolutely help you with this prior (must be done at minimum 2 weeks before the 16th-18th)‼️‼️

Your old horse is not just an old horse…
I think we have developed a bad habit of using the excuse of age to explain an older horses conditions or state of well being. We have become accustomed to allowing a certain appearance or health status because they are a certain age. Age is just a number, not a disease.

From my personal and veterinary standpoint, every age of horse (or other species) still deserves care. While there are some expected changes with increasing age, this does not mean “because they are old” explains everything. Old horses don’t have to be emaciated and thin, have bad teeth, crippling pain or overall a decreased quality of life that is acceptable. Please do not fall into the habit of allowing your older horse to slip through the cracks. I believe horse owners (and other species) are responsible no matter the age or when that last day comes. This time of year is very hard as I am saying more goodbyes to patients than I am welcoming new ones. Please continue to care and advocate for your older animals.

Their age does not define their worth.

What does it mean to be a rural large animal vet:
-It’s working in all seasons and all weather conditions
-It’s staying an extra hour to help the farmers newborn calf nurse
-It’s praying with the family who is saying goodbye to a lifelong pet
-It’s hopping fence to avoid the mad angus cow
-It’s days where bringing new life into the world and ending suffering happen concurrently
-It’s performing c-sections when your instruments freeze to your hands
-It’s spending an extra 15 minutes talking with the farmer about the ‘good ole days’
-It’s having every type of clothing in your truck because it’s 50 degrees in the morning and 80 degrees midday
-It’s not knowing if you’ll have electricity or water access or even a barn to work in
-Its getting home and unsure what that smell is or stain on your clothes
-It’s laying awake at night hoping the horse you’ve treated for 3 days makes it
-It’s celebrating the wins, no matter how small

Is the job glamorous? Not often
Is the job hard? Yes
Is the job worth doing? Absolutely
