Mitchell Veterinary Clinic is NOT a 24-hour emergency clinic for the El Dorado Springs area.

We offer after-hours emergency care for our established, regular patients. Please call 417-876-5717 and leave a message for the doctor on call.

NOTE: The doctor does not receive calls between the hours of 10 pm and 6 am.

After-hours non-emergency calls will be returned during regular business hours only.

Things That Slow Down Emergency Care:

• Not leaving your name and phone number
• Please set your phone to accept calls from unknown callers
• Calling multiple times and leaving more than one voicemail
• Having friends and family call for the same emergency

Large Animal Emergency:

Please move the animal to a small pen of a half-acre or less.
When you call, please already complete a brief exam so you can give an accurate description of the situation.
Be prepared to haul in whenever possible.

We can work-in emergencies at our office much quicker than we can get a veterinarian out to a farm when they have a full schedule of appointments.
