Dr Buckmaster never shows up on time over 3 hrs late every time. You would think his dumb ride along could make a simple call !!! Over priced when he does show...

We have 4 mini-donkeys among other animals. My vet was not available when I needed him for a hoof absess in the youngest mini. I called Dr. Buckmaster, and even though they had a long day, they came that afternoon. They told me they would be here after 1PM. At 2PM, I received a call stating they would be there about 3:30 as they were attending animals whose problems took longer than expected. That is not uncommon in the field of veterinary medicine. You never know until you examine an animal how long you will be in attendance.

They showed up about 4PM, worked on the little guy for almost an hour, gave him two injections, provided me with the iodine we can't buy any more, gave me surgical cotton because all I had were plain cotton balls, looked at all our minerals, examined our other donkeys, gave me some good advice and the charge was minimal compared to other vets in the area. The following day, we received a follow up call to make sure our little one was doing OK and that we weren't having problems administering aid to him.

After the fact, I spoke with approximately 6 other people who also utilized Dr Buckmaster and they spoke VERY highly about him at two of the feed stores. We have heard many positive statements over the years and that's why I called him in this emergency. We have made the decision he will be our large animal vet from now on. We like our other vet, who is very good, but Buckmaster is closer and imparts more knowledge than others.
