Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital

Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital Our vision is to advance medicine by integrating world-class patient care with leadership in education & scientific discovery at Colorado State University.

Established in 1907, the Veterinary Hospital cared for local horses and cattle. In 1913 Aggie University started to offer its four-year program and began to teach future veterinarians. Since the beginning our medical standards have always been high. "We owe our excellence to those visionary founders, who through persistence and determination, laid the for all that was to come."
-Lance E. Perryman, Former CVMBS Dean

Our goal is to offer you comprehensive veterinary medical care while providing instruction for our veterinary students, interns, and residents.

Our cardiologists are advancing the future of care for dogs with mitral valve disease 🫀

Drs. Scansen and Orton are collaborating with experts at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus to adapt a minimally invasive human heart procedure, mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER), for canine patients.

Using advanced imaging and specialized interventional techniques, the team is expanding treatment options for dogs with mitral valve disease and improving the quality of life for patients with heart failure.

He was 8 weeks old with a broken jaw. Today, Kane is thriving. 🐶🦷

Kane, a puppy rescued by A Friend of Jack Rescue, came to our hospital after being attacked by another dog and was in significant pain. A trauma CT revealed multiple facial fractures, so that first night, our team anesthetized him, realigned his jaw, and repaired the soft tissue. Because he was still growing, we used a medically supervised tape muzzle to stabilize the fractures while they healed. He also got a feeding tube to ensure he received proper nutrition and pain control.

Two weeks later, he had formed a strong bony callus, and the muzzle was removed. 👏

As often happens with puppy facial trauma, his developing adult teeth were affected. Several months later, Kane returned for ongoing care. Imaging showed several unerupted and malformed teeth, which were extracted to prevent future pain and infection. He went home the same day and recovered beautifully.

Kane’s story is a reminder that veterinary dentistry is more than just keeping their teeth cleaned. It is compassionate care, innovative approaches, and team-based care. During Pet Dental Health Month, we are celebrating patients like Kane and the full scope of care that helps them live their best lives. 💙

Ever noticed the texture on a dog’s nose? 🐶

Just like fingerprints, every nose print is unique. That natural pattern inspired the custom frit on the glass of our new building.

The frit, a ceramic pattern baked into the glass, does more than look beautiful. It boosts energy efficiency and helps protect our local bird community by making the glass more visible and reducing collisions.

Think that sounds interesting? You can learn more about the frit at https://cvmbs.source.colostate.edu/millions-and-millions-of-frit

This CSU Founders Day, we’re celebrating what’s next for veterinary care at CSU.

The new Veterinary Hospital and Education Complex (VHEC) will soon expand our primary care services, offering routine and emergency care in a modern, thoughtfully designed space. By bringing hospital teams and students together, the VHEC supports hands-on learning while maintaining the high-quality care our clients trust.

Rooster isn’t a bird—he’s a Maine C**n cat with a rare condition that called for a team effort. 🐾🦷

Diagnosed with hemangiomatous gingivitis, Rooster was experiencing oral bleeding that surgery alone just couldn’t resolve. That’s when our Dentistry and Oral Surgery team partnered with Radiation Oncology, working together under one roof to find the best path forward.

The team used strontium therapy, a highly localized radiation treatment placed directly over the lesion to control bleeding and reduce its size while protecting deeper tissues.

During Pet Dental Health Month, Rooster’s case is a powerful reminder of how collaborative specialty care can lead to innovative solutions for our patients. We're thrilled to offer this type of collaboration and to see Rooster back to playing in water and watching birds at the bird feeder (as a good Maine C**n should). 😻

🚨 New research on FIP treatment from our clinicians

For years, feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) meant heartbreak for cats, families, and veterinary teams. New findings show that the antiviral molnupiravir was 77% effective, supporting its use as an important secondary treatment option.

We break down what FIP is, key study findings, when veterinarians may consider this therapy, and potential side effects. Because every cat deserves more time, we’re pushing FIP research forward through ongoing clinical trials.
