Services
Aspen Veterinary Service is a mobile veterinary business
dedicated to preserving a country way of life, and promoting general
farm animal health and production. The species of choice is
cattle, but all livestock can be treated by Aspen Veterinary Service.

Vaccinations
Owners have the
option of purchasing vaccines and administering them to their own
animals, or having a veterinarian make a farm call for a general wellness
exam and vaccine administration. The only exception is Brucellosis vaccines to
heifers which requires a farm call, and rabies vaccine to any livestock.

in horses is also offered, and a modern ultrasound machine is available for use on all types of livestock. Aspen Veterinary Service also offers:

She is well versed in colic management and has a portable ultrasound machine that operates on electricity or batteries. Her vet truck is also equipped with a battery operated microscope, a portable x-ray machine, warm water, refrigerated antibiotics, and can tow a portable cattle squeeze chute.
Montana Farm Calls
Routine veterinary care for animals in the Noxon, Montana area can be scheduled for the first week of October. There are no haul-in facilities at this time, but mileage calculations are greatly reduced given that the starting point is the Bull River Junction. Please call now if you have a more urgent visit request. Dr. Bowes may be making a trip out that way sooner – so please ask!
Consultation
Commercial herd
health services are available for most species, but hobby farm advice is
usually free. Please call for details.
