Prairie Ridge Veterinary Clinic cares for Havana area large animals, too. Whether pet livestock or herd animals, we work with our clients to develop a quality preventive health care plan that will address parasite control, disease prevention, and reproductive calendars. We will be happy to come to your farm, talk with you, and together determine what the needs of your animals are.
Pet Livestock
Pet livestock, such as llamas and alpacas, require individualized wellness programs that include nutrition, vaccinations, parasite control, dental care, and reproductive health.
- Wellness exams—During our comprehensive wellness exams, we will examine hoof care, vaccinations, deworming, supplements, and herd health management. Routine exams will allow us to monitor and score body conditions, such as obesity. We can help with reproductive management and pre- and post-natal care.
- Sickness exams—While routine wellness exams help prevent serious illness, animals can become ill and require more specific health care services.
- Surgeries—When your pet requires surgery, you want only the best. Talk with our veterinarians about routine surgical procedures, such as castrations, C-sections, dental care, and microchipping.
- Grooming—Toenails should be clipped when they begin to curl
Livestock Herd Health: Cattle, Sheep, and Goats
We can customize a herd health plan tailored specifically to meet the needs of your farm. Our services include parasite control, vaccination programs, reproductive management, pregnancy checking, nutrition, and herd surgical procedures, such as castration and dehorning.

“I began to bring in my labs into PRVC when I started working there, and was happy to have such a caring and knowledgeable doctor to take care of two of my best friends. It always amazes me just how much care goes into each and every animal, let alone the perseverance of Dr. Yetter and staff (I should call them family) in working out how to treat each and every problem.”
