About Vet

Hi! I am Melinda. I have been practicing some form of veterinary medicine for 28 years. I can help you with your dog, cat and horse questions! I, myself, have 12 dogs, 3 cats, 3 horses and 1 donkey. I used to show horses, but now I just like to watch them and love on them! Maybe the occasional trail ride…… I love all dogs, but I really love little dogs. The tinier and feistier the better 😊 I have worked on horses only, cows, dogs, cats, developed drugs for animals, run clinical trials for companies, worked on the occasional wild bird, racoon and opossum, a camel, an orx…….If it needs help, I will probably try! Lately, I have a mission to help all the stray dogs and cats around me. I live in a very poor rural part of Mississippi, and it is begging for help. "To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived—that is to have succeeded." Emerson

Melinda was easy to talk to and very friendly. She was very thorough and wanted to hear all the details. She did great at guiding me through everything I needed to do to provide care to my dog

Dr. Poole was super nice and detailed. She helped us decide to go ahead and take our cat to the emergency vet to be checked out. I liked that she knows the area well and recommended emergency care that is less crowded. She was a good bridge to help us decide to bring him and to explain what may be happening.
