General Surgery
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I schedule an appointment?
We provide general surgery services to clients who do not have a relationship with another veterinarian. If you are looking to establish first-time care for your pet, you can call the Small Animal Teaching Hospital at 979.845.2351 to schedule an appointment.
What do I do if my pet has an emergency?
The VMTH Emergency Room is staffed by trained veterinarians, technicians, and students 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Please call us at 979.845.2351 so we know what time to expect you. Patients are seen on a triage system, so some less urgent cases may experience a wait during our busy times.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are studies that evaluate how effective a new treatment is by comparing it to standard practice in animals with disease. These trials are often designed from preliminary data showing that the new treatment may be effective. Browse our current trials.
