Services

We are no longer a full service veterinary clinic.  We are still in Cortez, Colorado, but have reduced our services as I approach retirement.  We are still doing spays/neuters of cats and smaller dogs, some simple dentals, and vaccinations along with some other services that occur on a day to day basis at a reasonable cost.  I am no longer doing diagnostics or taking on ongoing cases.

As I near retirement, I have decided to reduce my hours to 3 days a week, so most of my appointments are done on M, T and Th.  I am no longer doing any large animal care, but focusing more on dogs and cats.  I am wanting to enjoy my horses more,  so riding and camping is becoming a bigger part of my life.  That means more trips and time away from practice.

WELLNESS EXAMS

$50.00
We have limited facilities to diagnose and treat your pet.

All anesthetized animals are monitored with a pulse oximeter that displays heart rate and oxygen levels, and an apnea meter that indicates respiratory rate during all surgical procedures.

EMERGENCY CARE

I am less available as I approach full retirement, and am seldom available for after hours calls, except Home Euthanasias. My voicemail message does state when I am out of town.  However I do not sit by the phone waiting for someone to call as days may go by without a call. I hike, walk my dogs and ride my horses as often as I can and I doing more trips. Your Emergency is important and I will be paged immediately upon leaving a message. If you do not get a return call with in a time frame acceptable to you, please utilize other resources.
