Updates to Road Construction Impacting VHC Access

Changes in the road construction on the Denison Ave. project will occur Monday, February 3. This continues to impact traditional access to the Veterinary Health Center. Please use this map with recommended alternate routes for both small and large animal appointments. All large animal access is from the east side of the Veterinary Health Center. Watch for detour signs on Jardine Drive and turn north at Serum Plant Road. Large animal patients must enter/exit from the east side of the CVM complex off Serum Plant Road.

How can your dog help save a life?

Just like people, dogs have diseases or injuries that require blood transfusions. The Veterinary Health Center needs volunteer blood donors to ensure that every patient in need can be treated.

Update on Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza - As of December 2024

Due to the highly contagious nature of HPAI, the VHC is implementing strict precautions to reduce the risk of exposure of hospital patients to this virus. The Exotics Zoological Medicine Service is currently unable to accept poultry and avian wildlife species (chickens, turkeys, quail, pheasants, and waterfowl). Client-owned birds, such as parrots and canaries, that live indoors will still continue to be seen by our veterinarians. If you have questions, please call in advance, 785-532-5690.
