Having
a sick pet is a difficult situation for any family, but there's a way
to get help that most of us wouldn't even think about.
There's
a veterinarian who comes right to your front door.
Dr.
Sarah Gordon runs the For The Animals Veterinary Clinic, out of
Bartlesville.
But
she covers most of Northeastern Oklahoma with her elaborate mobile
facilities.
She
says there are quite few vets in Bartlesville, so she wanted to offer
a new service for pet owners.
Gordon will tell you, that traveling to homes can give her a better understanding of the relationship between
owners and their animals.
Her
van is set up with an exam room, sinks, medicines and equipment in
the front.
While
the back is used for the operating room.
The
vehicle has everything but an x-ray machine and facilities to do
blood work.
She
says she can perform about 90% of veterinary procedures on four
wheels, but she will go into the owner's home if that's better for
the animal.
Dr.
Gordon is a big supporter of animal rescue efforts, so she uses her
truck to spay and neuter animals before they're adopted.
She's
says it's a way to give back to the community and to keep her oath of
helping animals in need.
She
can be reached at 918-815-9122.
