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.
