Emergency Contact Information

Phone:  434-591-1260
If you hear a recorded message, listen carefully to the message to provide you with the emergency phone number of the doctor on emergency duty at that time.  This message is changed daily to reflect the scheduled doctor for that day.  Please do not send an email or call Dr. Shane's cell phone for emergencies as he may not be the one on call at that time. Always call 434-591-1260 first to find the doctor on emergency duty.

Emergency Procedure Information

If you have an emergency or a situation that you think may not wait until business hours, always call 434-591-1260 to find the doctor on emergency duty.  Leave a message with a call back number where you can be reached so the doctor on emergency duty will be able to call you directly and get directions and advise you on what to do until he/she arrives.  If you cannot wait by the phone, station someone else to wait by the phone who knows how to get to your farm.
