Convenient answers to your large animal veterinary questions
When you’re dealing with a large animal, veterinary care isn’t a simple affair. Unlike a small pet, you can’t just bring a horse or a cow and wait in the emergency room. This means that you’ll need to wait for a mobile veterinarian to make a house call. To make things worse, sometimes animal health problems can be minor and don't really merit the time or expense of home veterinary services.
If you have large animal veterinary questions, the Experts on JustAnswer are available at any time to help you make sense of your animal’s symptoms. They'll help you choose the best course of action in your situation, possibly saving yourself that expensive vet’s visit, and you approve payment to your Expert only when you're completely satisfied.
