While we offer 24/7 services for livestock and equine emergencies to our established clientele there are times when logistics will dictate referral, we do not offer emergency services to clients without a VCPR. To have a VCPR our veterinarians must have been on your farm within the prior 12 months to provide routine preventive care. For emergencies we can not see or in the event of an emergency severe enough you feel it can not wait for our reply or response we recommend immediate referral and trailering to:
New Bolton Center (the University of Pennsylvania's College of Veterinary Medicine) 382 W Street Rd, Kennett Square, PA 19348, phone (610) 444-5800. While in transit call the number listed above to apprise them of your emergency information and an arrival time so they may better service your immediate needs.
We can place a small microchip typically at the base of the ear for official identification purposes in most livestock species. Using a scanner, each animal can be identified for health and regulatory purposes.
Occasionally your livestock may require the care of a specialist. Veterinary specialists are certified and trained in specific areas of medicine or surgery. We have a relationship with several referral institutions.
