Vet-to-Vet Virtual Consults
Available for Veterinarians Nationwide

HOW DO VET-TO-VET CONSULTS WORK?

This service is intended to assist primary care veterinarians in addressing behavior cases in their practice. This is not considered a substitution for a full veterinary behavior consultation, but it can be useful for clients who are unable to have a full consultation with a veterinary behaviorist.

Prior to a vet-vet consult, Dr. O’Brian or Dr. Baucom will review your:

  1. The patient’s veterinary records

  2. The veterinary history form

  3. Any short videos you want to provide (as long as it is less than 5 minutes in length). Please never request clients film a potentially dangerous situation!

Please do not include extra information directly from the client, as this is not able to be quickly analyzed by Dr. O’Brian or Dr. Baucom, and in this case, a full consultation is more appropriate.
