Emergency Services
We have modified out after-hours food animal ambulatory and in-hospital services to prioritize care for our regular clientele. The FARMS service will provide emergency service outside of normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) only to established clients or by active referral. Between 12 a.m. and 5 a.m. service is limited.
