There is also easier and more ample parking on Nolan Road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will be five exam rooms instead of three and a larger surgery suite, as well, which will allow us to do more surgeries,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are also adding a dedicated dental suite that we did not have before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moreau Animal Clinic already had upgraded its diagnostic equipment such as digital x-rays and digital ultrasound and the capability to do in-house lab work, which can facilitate the doctors with more in-depth cases and treatments for their feline and canine patients, Dr. Jill said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>These capabilities are more like those offered by an emergency animal clinic than a general practice. But the Outtersons said they saw a need they wanted to address in the community, which is urgent care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no emergency clinic here. The closest are in Latham or Vermont,\u201d said Dr. Jill. \u201cWe are not equipped for emergencies, but urgent care is a priority of ours and we want to help if we can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hard to get an appointment with your vet sometimes, no matter where you are, and we hold same-day sick appointments for our clients,\u201d she said. \u201cBut we also get other calls every day and while would love to tell everyone yes, we can\u2019t always fit them into a fully booked schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If a pet has a laceration it may be critical to seek emergency care, she said. But for an ear infection, an emergency hospital may have to a six to eight hour wait to be seen.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor simpler things and non-life-threatening situations, our team will do what we can to fill in,\u201d said Dr. Nick. \u201cOur niche is general veterinary practice, plus or minus urgent care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Outtersons got their degrees in Colorado and spent time in California, where Dr. Jill is from. Then 10 years ago they relocated to New York, where Dr. Nick is from. He said that when they are not building a hospital and growing the practice, the couple is busy raising three little boys.<\/p>\n<p>Moreau Animal Clinic is one of the practices that rescue organizations contact when their cats need medical care and is dedicated to educating people about cat rescue and \u201chelping them make the best decision for pets and families,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to accommodate this community better and to help as many animals as possible as our practice grows,\u201d said the Outtersons.<\/p>\n<p>Watch for a grand opening at the end of November, weather permitting, and visit www.moreauanimalclinic.com for information about hours and services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Susan Elise Campbell Moreau Animal Clinic is within months of relocating to a new facility designed by Nick and Jill Outterson, the husband and wife veterinarians who purchased the practice in August 2018. \u201cAfter being in a general veterinary practice and Nick in emergency medicine, we were looking forward to the next step, and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":40109,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
