Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Purdue University in 1969

Dr. Gaddy's career in medicine actually began in 1979, when at the age of 8, she found a lizard with a large wound on his head. After 2 weeks of careful doctoring and love she released him into the wilds of her back yard and became hooked on making sick things well.
Dr. Gaddy takes an extra special interest in dermatology with a focus on allergic skin disease. Given our geographic location this is very fortunate for many of our client's pets. Dr. Gaddy also practices Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation (VOM), a branch of animal chiropracty that locates and reduces neuronal subluxations at nerve roots in the spine which can result not only in pain and lameness but also in organ and metabolic dysfunction. Another of Dr. Gaddy's special interests is in proper nutrition and weight management for your pet. Keeping your pet at its optimal weight can be a difficult task for sure but with your help we are almost certain to be successful. Your pet's healthy weight maintained with a high quality diet can not only extend the life of your loved one but also has the potential to save you 50% per year in veterinary costs.
