Due to staffing shortages, the MU CVM VHC will temporarily not be able to accept NEW SMALL ANIMAL patients between the hours of 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. We will still be able to treat emergencies for existing patients. We hope to be able to bolster nurse staffing in the next few months to allow us to return to our 24/7/365 emergency services.
Equine and food animal emergency services are unchanged, offering 24-hour care.
