The current case-load is comprised of approximately 70 % horses, 30 % food animal (principally dairy cattle) and a small number of camelids and other farm animal species. Approximately 650 large animal medicine patients are evaluated annually with a growing caseload in all species over the last several years. A predominance of cases are in-patients, with a significant number of critical care patients.
