 Thanks for checking this video out. Your mountaintop news video is coming up in just a minute. Did you know that it's going to be watched thousands of times, shared a bunch of times, likes, comments, you name it, it's going to be there. Why is it your ad here? Call me. In just a few short weeks, a new animal clinic will be opening its doors right here in Floyd County. In just a few short weeks, the Floyd County Veterinary Clinic will open its doors for the first time. For its grand opening, Mountaintop spoke with Dr. Rachel Lawson about the new facility. So I have been working in the tri-state region now for about six years. My husband is a Floyd County native and we know that there has been some unfortunate, a previous practice owner passed away a couple of years ago, Dr. Usley, and seemed to be a bit of a gap in the local area and we were looking to try to make the move back to Floyd County. So it seemed like a pretty opportune time to go ahead and open up our own practice. Located right off US-23 near the Bull Creek Trade Center, the facility will offer a variety of services for your cat or dog. I mean my main goal is to provide just a local private practice, general practice. So vaccines, wellness, any sick animals doing routine surgeries like spays, neuters, but also some of our more serious procedures, you know, for sick pets like foreign bodies or tumor removals, those sorts of things, and of course emergencies, just like any of our other general practices in the area. We won't be providing after-hours emergency services, though we will be referring those similar to most of the other practices in the region. While the goal of the clinic is to open September 6th, Lawson says that date is dependent on their equipment arriving on time. Our goal and our expectation is still September 6th. That's still a little dependent on us getting in all of our inventory America's supply chains, not exactly working at full speed or function, so pending the next two weeks me being able to get in all of the supplies I need, although we do plan for more of a soft opening for a week or two, so probably only seeing wellness appointments, vaccines for the first week or two until we really jump into actually being able to provide some of those more serious cases or doing some of our routine surgical procedures just to make sure that we're running smoothly and that we have all the equipment we need. If you would like to contact the Floyd County Veterinary Clinic, you can call them at 606-506-4265. Reporting from Floyd County, Kentucky, for Mountain Top News, I'm Joel Korgel.
