The Western Aquatic Animal Veterinary Service began 15 years ago as
an outreach service, for clients who were unable to present their
aquatic pets to the veterinary clinic. A house-call to a pond site
is recommended because sometimes owners do not recognize multiple
fish involvement, especially if they are focused on one individual
fish that is apparently ill. Over the years it has grown to provide
veterinary medical services to private individuals as well as corporate
aquascapes.
