Eastern Prairie Veterinary Service is a mobile, large animal veterinary practice specializing in camelids (alpacas, llamas, etc.) and small ruminants (sheep and goats) that provides both preventative and emergency medicine.
Headquartered in east central Illinois and licensed in both Illinois and Indiana travels are not necessarily limited to a particular radius.
While on the farm, vaccinations for dogs and cats can be provided if scheduled in advance.

Eastern Prairie Veterinary Service is the result of my lifelong dream of being a veterinarian. After 20 years in agricultural sales and marketing with Dow AgroSciences, I retired to attend vet school at the University of Illinois.
In the Spring of 2013, my practice was opened to provide independent, mobile large animal veterinary care.
Having grown up with horses and beef cattle in Mississippi myself, my husband, Marc, and I now have our own small livestock farm which include a sheep flock, working Border Collies, llamas, alpacas and Clydesdale horses in rural St. Joseph, IL. When not doing veterinary things, I herd with my Border Collies, hitch my Clydesdale team, knit, and spend time with my husband on our own little piece of heaven.
Experience has taught me with the challenges that producers face. My goal is to provide you with excellent veterinary care, tailored to your performance & production goals. While treating all large animals, I have a particular interest in camelid medicine.
Professional memberships include AVMA, AASRP and AAEP; as well as being a CameliDYNAMICS Consultant.
Calling ahead to book your appointment is paramount to ensure that enough time is scheduled to provide the best service possible for you and your animals' needs.
EMERGENCIES:
- Emergency service based upon availability for current, active clients (on-farm visit within the past 12 months) only.
- Emergencies always receive top priority, and, for this reason, an occasional delay to a previously scheduled appointment is possible.
FULL PAYMENT IS REQUIRED AT THE TIME OF SERVICE.
For your convenience cash, checks and major credit cards (Master Card, Visa) are accepted. (Credit cards will incur an additional 4% processing fee)
