Veterinarians near Virgil

“December 18, 2022. My birthday. Most veterinarians are still operating under Covid and pandemic regulations. And we’re not open on weekends. I rescue that my partner and I saved together was in the last part of her life. Suffering and suddenly becoming paralyzed and in a ton of pain I frantically called trying to find a veterinarian that would service my cat nobody was open. I called virtual veterinarian about 31 minutes after they closed to my surprise they picked up in a panic I quickly explained what was going on with my cat but it was my birthday and I did not know what to do and could not find anybody to help me. He had us bring her in immediately, despite having somewhere important to go he waited for us to come from Sycamore to Virgil to treat our cat. We gave her sedatives and painkillers and she had a peaceful 24 hours before we got her back the next day and he put her down with respect and dignity. It was very clear that day that they had something else going on that was very important but they took the time to care and the empathy to make my little baby peach feel better. That allowed us to have 24 hours more with our kitty. Free from pain and, One terrible birthday a little easier to bear. This vet is an older gentleman and he might struggle to keep things up to a standard that privileged people in the area might expect however he is a vet in the middle of nowhere quite literally in the country and he he rescues quite a few different animals and cares for them. He deeply cares for his career and what he does and that’s clear and how he treats his animals it might be a little bit rough around the edges. But the Care inside is worth going for.“

“This is our third pet that we bring to ACC and our first visit with Dr. Bateman, who was awesome. He gave my Briggs the time and love. Special shout to Becky, who made Briggs feel at home.“

“Love the staff and team of veterinarians at this clinic. They provide excellent care for both of our fur babies.“

“Cannot say enough positive about the staff and doctors at Kendall Road. My horse had bone chips removed here two years ago with stellar care, and he was back over a holiday weekend recently due to a colic episode that did not resolve with treatment provided by my home veterinarian. KREH staff were thorough, extremely caring, and kept me informed throughout the entire experience. My horse is home and recovering well and I am forever grateful to Kendall Road and their fabulous staff. I will never go anywhere else for equine emergencies or surgical needs! Affordable, kind, thorough, experienced, professional. The best of the best!“

“I can't say enough great things about Ashton Animal Clinic, I started using them years ago and was making the 40 min drive to their Ashton location. The vets are awesome and the prices are great. My animals always feel comfortable with everyone there and dont hate going to the vet like animals often do. If you're looking for compassion, empathy, great prices, friendly customer service, and just an all around great experience, this is the place. Its also not difficult to get appointments which is really nice!“

“I cannot say enough good things about FVEP! All their vets, techs, and office staff are so kind and knowledgeable. I trust them with client horses, school horses, and my personal horses without question. Couldn’t imagine a better vet practice!!!“
