We are a three doctor mixed animal practice with a wide variety of clientele. We have an inhouse hospital that provides digital x-ray and digital ultrasound diagnostics along with gas anesthesia surgeries. We also have a haul-in facility for Food animal and equine services and make farm calls for dairy and beef herd health visits. We also provide emergency care 24-7 for both large and small animals. We have an apartment on the third floor of the facility that will adequately accommodate the student during his/her elective experience.
We believe in hands on experience; therefore, students will actively participate in all phases of pathology, including performing daily nonhuman primate necropsies and observing clinical and anatomic pathology laboratory procedures, all while researching, developing and drafting a manuscript for publication. The goal is that they will become experienced at performing necropsies, recognize normal and abnormal findings, and learn about what is required to manage/oversee anatomic and clinical pathology laboratories. Students will also attend weekly pathology rounds that include veterinary pathologists from the San Antonio area and working/observe daily animal colony activities.
