I’m happy to review medical records, videos, pictures, and help you decide what the best next steps are for whatever issue you and your pet are having. These visits do not establish a *VCPR for purposes of diagnosing, treating, or prescribing drugs. Please see your regular veterinarian for those services. If you think your pet needs emergency care please follow up with your nearest emergency veterinary hospital.
*VCPR – Veterinary-client-pet-relationship, a legally defined relationship required to diagnose and treat your pet, including prescribing drugs.
