Welcome to Clinton Veterinary Service!

Our Mission Statement:

To provide quality, timely and friendly medical care for  large animals,  and to improve and further the quality of life of its associates.





Longstanding Tradition:

Clinton Veterinary Service, P.C. has such a tradition of serving animals and their owners in Clinton County and surrounding areas.  Originally they were a mixed animal practice providing bovine and small animal care.  Dr. Cynthia Trombley started the equine portion of the practice in 1994.  In 1998 the owners decided to concentrate mainly on large animals, therefore they sold the small animal clinic in town and built a new facility on their farm.  They have expanded from a two person practice to a five person clinic to better serve their clientele and be able to offer additional services.  They recently merged with Ovid-Elsie Large Animal practice in January 2006, thus enlarging their practice further.  Collectively they strive to offer professional, quality and timely care for your animals and herds with 70 years of combined experience.

New Digital Radiographs Now Available!

Clinton Veterinary Service now has the equipment to take digital radiographs!  This will allow us to take and view radiographs (x-rays) on the farm, thus allowing us to decide treatment at that time.  With the digital radiograph system, we will also be able to create a digital CD with copies of the radiographs on them for you. 

Below is an example of how the digital radiographs will look.  With the computer image we are able to adjust the contrast and brightness of the radiograph without retaking the image.  The two images below are the same radiograph, but the one on the right is adjusted with the computer to allow beter vision of the bone structure.

New Non-Steriodal Anti-Inflammatory!

Equioxx (firocoxib) - A new product from Merial

Equioxx is a new oral paste indicated to control pain and inflammation in horses.  Similar to phenylbutazone ("Bute"), Equioxx relieves pain with a once a day dosing, and has the added benefit of less side effects (such as stomach ulcers, liver or kidney damage.)  Equioxx is most benificial to horses with a history of stomach ulcers, foals, horses that have not been eating, or horses with a history of liver or kidney problems.  Next time your horse needs a pain medication, ask us if Equioxx would be a good choice for your horse!
