Services

My service will be mostly small animal driven. I will provide services for equine patients as well (end of life only).

Please Note: I am a Geriatric, Palliative, and End-of-life Veterinarian . All Other concerns must be addressed with your regular Veterinarian. I do not have the instruments and Diagnostic tools to Diagnose your loved one. I can offer consultation services for your geriatric loved one as well as comfort care options .

Palliative care : Care delivered as the animal approaches their end of life. It is delivered AFTER the diagnosis of a life-limiting disease and the decision to NOT pursue curative therapy.

My service is to “ hold sacred space for both you and your beloved friend, from the transition of life into death “ . The container is opened when you seek my counsel as you are making the decision , up until they take their final breath. I aid in the transition through chemical assistance, or,  I  counsel you and vigil with you as your beloved friend dies naturally.

Please note : My service is similar in nature to your doctor’s office in that you need to book an appointment to see me, or talk with me. . Instead of a receptionist, you would book online for a consult over the phone in order to build a Veterinarian-Patient-Client Relationship. I do not answer the phone as I use it for my client consults in the morning, and have it off during the afternoon when I am with my patients. If you have an emergency, and we have already built a file for your loved one, please email, text, or Facebook message me. If you are new to me and you have an emergency, you would seek care from your primary Veterinary Clinic.
