We offer a variety of services to our large animal clients and producers including, but not limited to, the following:

Wellness examinations for sick or injured livestock:

Basic physical examinations include evaluation of heart and lungs, temperature as needed, evaluation of the rumen/abdomen, and additional procedures at your veterinarian's discretion.

Vaccinations:

At Heartland Animal Hospital, we believe it is imperative to vaccinate your herd of animals, no matter the species to maximize growth and production potential. We are capable and experienced in recommending the right vaccine for your situation.

We offer multiple options for improving the health of your breeding herd, as well as calf-hood vaccine protocols. We carry both modified live and killed vaccines and can administer based on your personal preference and our recommendations.

Important pathogens to vaccinate against include the following:

Bovine respiratory disease complex - IBR, PI3, Pasteurella, Mannheimia, Mycoplasma
Clostridial disease - Blackleg and tetanus
Pinkeye - Moraxella bovis and Moraxella bovoculi; we do offer autogenous vaccines for your herd
Abortion pathogens - Vibrio, Leptospirosis, IBR, PI3
Calf diarrhea - E. coli

I have recently relocated to the Columbia/Ashland MO area. One huge plus of living near Ashland, for us, has been finding Heartland Animal Hospital. Dr. Cuddihee, DVM and her capable staff have shown very professional, passionate and caring attention when examining, treating and boarding my dogs. They have taken the time to educate me in procedures and advancements in veterinary care. I feel no hesitation in leaving my animals in their care.
