02/01/2023 - As many of our clients are aware, Thompson Veterinary Clinic currently shares a weekend emergency call rotation with Escanaba Veterinary Clinic. This alliance has worked well to be able to offer emergency care to our clients as both facilities search for additional Veterinarians to join their teams. To continue to be able to offer emergency care it has been decided to share weekday emergency call rotation as well as the weekend rotation. This will go into effect February 1st, 2023 and continue until further notice. When calling your regular facility, you will be notified of the location that is on call. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our clients and continue to search for a remedy for the shortage of veterinary emergency care in the Upper Peninsula.
