Cross Timbers Veterinary Hospital

Dear Participant,

We offer a summer externship program through the ARV. After you have been selected to participate, you will have to apply by going to their website at http://www.ruralvets.com or by contacting Dr. Steve McDonald in Henrietta, Texas.

Our practice is located in Bowie, Texas. Bowie is a town with a population of about 5,000 people. It is a very rural area. Cross timbers Veterinary Hospital, Inc. has an approximate ratio of 50/50 mix of large and small animals.

We are a progressive and very busy practice. We have three full-time veterinarians and are in search of another. Our complex includes three buildings, one is the small animal facility, one is the bovine only and one is equine only. Our bovine is mostly beef cattle, but occasionally we have a call from some of the dairies in the area. Our equine work includes ranch horses, cutting horses and a few "show" horses. We are the only large animal clinic in the county, so we cover a wide area. Our small animal facility includes:

 lasercyte cbc, vetest chem analyzer, vetlyte electrolyte machine, sevoflourane, 

isoflourane, video endoscope, otoscope, arthoscope, and laproscope.

We perform a fair amount of orthopedic surgeries, as well as all other surgeries.

I hope this information is helpful.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
