College of Veterinary Medicine

It would be unwise to trust your pet with anyone who has gotten degree from this institution. They really just let anyone become a vet.

wish i could give 0 starts. do not recommend applying to this school. a good friend of mine was so excited about being accepted and having her interview. keep in mind, she has been waiting almost a year to hear back from schools. when on the phone for her interview, they basically tried to get her to admit that she was a racist and didn’t even talk about school. why would she apply for a school in alabama if she was racist? this is absolutely unacceptable. very immature and childish for a veterinary college.

Our German Shepherd Bella required surgery (cranial cruciate rupture) and the care she received from everyone she came in contact with was absolutely superb. In particular, Dr. Howard King, Clint Martin took great care of her as if she was there own. We are so grateful to all she came in contact with at your superb facility." Thank you so much.

Tuskegee University Small Animal Hospital is the best. My Snoopy has been ill for over a year and after so many test, ultrasounds, x-rays and false diagnosis I was given a referral to have Snoppy be seen by Dr. Martin and her staff in April of this year. After our second drive from Atlanta Snoopy was finally diagnosed by her and her team. (After trying to get the same results for 11 months from his hospital in Atlanta he's been a patient of for 10 plus years. ) Dr. Mendoza was our first Doctor that helped take care of my baby when he had to stay a few nights to Catlin who on Ranks Supreme. Everyone that knows me knows how much I Love My Baby Snoopy and how I hate to leaving him in the hospital, but Catlin calms my soul. She called everyday for a week sometimes twice a day to give me an update on Snoopy. She always made me feel at ease after every conversation. Snoopy was discharged over a week ago and she still called after his discharge almost everyday checking on my baby and offering me solutions. Unfortunately Snoopy is back but with the help form Catlin and Dr. Martin I think this time around the procedure they have suggested for Snoopy will get him on the road to Recovery. I've yet to meet Catlin but I hear that today September 13th is her birthday. Have a great one and I hope you will stop in to check on Snoopy. I hope the new person Morgan stepping in to fill your shoes will carry the same torch you did! PS Morgan will as soon I submitted this post. A few minutes later Morgan called to give me an update on Snoopy now I can rest a little easier tonight.

I wish I could post 4 stars, but I cannot. My experience was anything but pleasant. My Miniature Pinscher was misdiagnosed by Dr. Vigg which caused her a major relapse and a 1 week stay at Auburn University Small Animal Hospital. My Min Pin has a neurological condition and was under the care of the Neuro Team from UGA. 3 weeks before she was seen by Dr. Vigg, she was on the lowest dose of Predinisolone and being weaned off. I had travel to work a project in Maryland and my Aunt was watching her. My fur baby was not eating and drinking and showed signs of neck pain. She was taken to TU Vet school and Dr. Vigg was made aware of her MUE condition. 1 week later, Mahogany could no longer walk and had to be rushed to the ER. The Neuro at Auburn University called me and inquired about her visit with Dr. Vigg and after talking with my Aunt about her med management, it was discovered he made my Aunt take her off the meds and this was why she had the severe relapse . He advised my Aunt to take her off the prescribed Prednisolone by her Neurologist, stating it was making her sick and to keep her crated for 90 days. Mahogany's meds tripled and her re-checks which were every 3 months changed to monthly. I could not get TU to call me back and had to almost harrass them before I was able to speak with Dr. Bellamy who refused to address any wrong doing and stated, "what do you want me to do about it! She's a dog!" Dr. Bellamy was unprofessional and I questioned why she wanted to be a Vet. If these animals are only "animals" to her and not a life worth protecting, why is she in the field to care for them? Dr. Bellamy nor Dr. David McKenize have replied to emails, although they promised they would. Please make sure you think throughly before taking your pet to this Hospital. I know mistakes happen, however; as a Medical entity, there is a duty to make sure you are licensed to practice in a specialty and Dr. Vigg was not. Dr. Bellamy told me he did not have to be but that is not true and the Neurologists at Auburn and UGA confirmed this. They said you NEVER pull a canine off a steroid suddenly as their system will go into shock and if he were a Neuro, he would know this. A lot of progress was made to get Mahogany back on track and Dr. Vigg's negligence caused the Neuros to go back to the drawing board which upset them. They told me he never should have treated her for a Neuro condition as he is not a licensed Neurologist. Please think twice before coming to Tuskegee University Vet Hospital. Auburn is far more rounded and the professionalism/bed-side manner exercised along with certified Medical Professionals who treat your pet with care is reasonating. It gives you peace of mind to know your pet will be given the utmost care. TU, on the other hand, views them as 4-legged property with no regard to the level of care amd treatment they are given.

They took excellent care of our horse. Dr Allred and her team is the best!

Tuskegee posted on their site today that they were being attacked by activist groups. In fact, a lot of people are up in arms because they use live animals that they acquire from the county pound. They say they only take animals that are scheduled for euthanasia. That is not a true statement either. All of the animals they have taken for LIVE experimentation and suffer terminal surgery. They claim they take very good care of the animals. In fact, every animal there whether small or large are fed the exact same amount of food once a day - 1 cup of food. They claim that this practice is done by every other vet university when, in fact, it is not. This practice is only done by three schools total in the US and Tuskegee is the lowest rated school. There are other ways to train future vets without inhumane extreme cruelty to animals. We would not do this to our children. Then why are they allowed to do this. All animals are part of someone’’s family. Those animals would have been taken to shelters, no kill shelters, etc, so that they can find homes and not be tortured to death. Wake up people. This should not be the kind of people we are. Ever.

I went to the large animal clinic for my goat, and they were amazing. Doctor Copedge was very knowledgeable and the students were great too. Everyone was very caring and did all they could to help.

My pets have been customers of the vet clinic for years now. I love the treatment my dogs get as well as how professional the students and staff are. The clinic is always clean they also board animals. Go Skegee!

I had a calf that was down that was an emergency and the lady on the phone was rude saying who told you that you could come up here and all which my calf was almost dead and the redirect me to someone else and he told me that they won’t see my calf both of them told me that I needed an appointment but I know of you can’t predict an emergency but auburn university they were treated the emergency just like it should have been taken care of the folks out there are wonderful ppl that will do whatever they can to save the animal unlike Tuskegee I always thought vets are vets because they care about the well being of animals but clearly they don’t at Tuskegee they only get one star because you can’t give em 0
