Horse owners - please be aware of our emergency policy. Any emergency that is located 20 miles or more from our hospital MUST be hauled in. Closer cases may have to also be hauled in depending on doctor availability. There is only one veterinarian on call after hours and they can not leave the hospital when there are critical cases. We are willing to provide emergency services for all non-isolation cases (no fevers, respiratory illness or diarrhea) but be prepared to haul.
Secondly, be prepared to pay the emergency fee and all associated charges at the time of the visit - we do not delay or split billing. All payment is due at the time of service. Our emergency fee is $300 - current clients that have had SCHEDULED appointments within the year (vaccinations, dentals, lameness exams, etc) will receive a discounted emergency fee of $200. All others will be charged the full fee.
Lastly, please call the emergency phone and talk to the veterinarian on call before hauling in. You need to make sure the veterinarian is available and we have stalls available for cases.
Thank you for following our emergency policy. As you well know, the number of equine veterinarians in general, as well as those who provide emergency services, is shrinking. Having a good working relationship with your veterinarian, having a plan for transport in the event of an emergency, and being respectful of your veterinarians policies will go a long way to maintaining access to equine veterinarians.
