Referrals via Veterinarian/Clinic Login vs. Guest Referral: What’s the difference?
By submitting referrals via the ‘Referring Veterinarian’ link, veterinary clinics enjoy a smoother experience, with the ability to track past referrals, get result notifications, and share and access patient records directly with/from the patient chart.
Veterinary clinics that use the ‘Guest Referral’ link won’t have access to their patients’ information and may not receive digital follow-ups or timely updates on the cases they refer to the VMTH.
Radiographic Interpretation
**Effective November 12, 2025, referral radiographic interpretation services will be temporarily paused.**
Radiographic interpretation services are provided during normal weekday business hours.
No after-hours, weekend or STAT radiographic interpretation is currently available.
It’s strongly recommended that all images be submitted in the original DICOM format.
Veterinary Nutrition
The Veterinary Nutrition Service at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) and its VMTH is led by a board-certified veterinary nutritionist and a licensed veterinary nurse specializing in nutrition.
Submit a completed nutrition referral form (below) via email to: vetnutrition@tamu.edu.
- Nutrition Referral Form – Referral forms should be completed by the referring veterinarian or veterinary team, while the diet history and telemedicine form are to be completed by the owner. Additionally, we request a complete blood count (CBC), chemistry panel, and urinalysis performed within the past six months, along with any other relevant diagnostics or laboratory results pertinent to the patient.
- At this time, we are accepting referred patients exclusively for gastrointestinal and critical care cases. We anticipate expanding our scope in the near future; however, for now, external case submissions remain limited.
