Consult Service

At the Colorado State University Flint Animal Cancer Center we offer a consult service. This service is free of charge. Pet owners and referring veterinarians are welcome to submit their questions to obtain general information regarding cancer in animals or clinical trials available. Please fill out either the pet owner or veterinarian consulting form. Your consult will then be directed to an appropriate oncology clinician. Requests are typically returned within 2 business days.

We are happy to review any diagnostic tests including x-rays, blood tests, pathology tests, etc that are associated with your pet/patient you are requesting a consult about. Please email them to: consult_file@colostate.edu as soon as possible after submitting the consult request. These tests/reports will be linked to the consult you have already submitted. So that we may link the tests/report to your consult enter the following information into the subject line of the email: last name consult was submitted under and pet name separated by a dash. (Example: Last Name-Pets Name).

Pet owners as well as veterinarians can make appointments. Pet owners do not need a referral from their regular veterinarian to make the appointment.

The Consult Service at the Flint Animal Cancer Center is an important outreach effort to help both pet owners and veterinarians all over the US and sometimes from other countries as well. In fact, we answer approximately 3000 such calls on an annual basis! We do not charge for this service but are appreciative of the donations that help to sustain this valuable program. In 2010, Linda and Brian Pardo, wanted to make a gift to help support this service as it helped several of their personal dogs and dogs who are housed at their rescue in Texas called Happy Endings Dog Rescue. This gift has established Carmen’s Fund in memory of Carmen, one of their dogs who was helped by the consult service initially and then came to CSU for treatment for her cancer.
