School of Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital Small Animal Hospital Specialty Care Oncology About Our Service The Oncology staff consists of veterinarians who are board-certified in oncology and oncology residents in training, as well as veterinary technicians who specialize in oncology nursing. The Oncology Service generally sees new cases, rechecks, and oncologist emergencies Monday-Thursday 8-5, with some appointments on Fridays, as well as some limited after-hours services in special, pre-arranged circumstances. Emergencies before 8 or after 5 are taken by veterinary interns, and then transferred to oncology. Please call (765)494-1107 to make an appointment. New appointments should include a referral from a local veterinarian.
