GETTING STARTED
Clinical Care Guidance
I work directly with practicing veterinarians to provide expert guidance on complex theriogenology cases, including breeding management, pregnancy concerns, and neonatal care. With only a handful of board-certified theriogenologists in the U.S., access to timely, specialized insight can make a critical difference in patient outcomes. I offer the practical, case-based support clinicians need to confidently manage reproductive cases and deliver the highest standard of care.
What This Entails
Small Animal Reproduction Case Consultations
Licensed veterinarians seeking expert guidance on management of reproductive cases in dogs and cats can contact me with questions or for advice regarding management of cases under their care.
FOR VETERINARIANS
Questions About Animal Care Including Sterilization
Pet owners and dog and cat breeders can contact me with questions. Because I have not seen these animals and subsequently have no legal veterinarian-client-patient relationship, general advice can be provided for owners to share with the veterinary overseeing their animal directly.
FOR VETERINARIANS
Consultations About Sterilization of Dogs & Cats
Licensed veterinarians with questions about timing of elective ovariohysterectomy or castration, surgical options such as hysterectomy (ovary-sparing spay) or vasectomy, or non-surgical options for sterilization can contact me with specific questions or for general information.
