Contact Dr. Hines

I am not available to you at this time. You can click on this image to learn why:  

I have given advice to dog, cat and exotic pet owners for over forty years. During that time, I learned many things. An important one is that veterinarians like myself do not have a solution for all of your pet’s health problems.

I am not allowed to offer you advice based on my veterinary experience because I do not physically touch or observe your pet. Texas extends that prohibition against me for pet owners and pets all over the world, not just American pet owners. There is no justification for that but it is the law. However human physicians based in Texas are allowed to do online telephone, video or online consultation with human patients that have never visited their offices. In 2023, a federal judge affirmed the Texas Veterinary Board’s right to do so.  However, in 2024, that decision was reversed by a panel of federal judges in New Orleans.  If you wish, read those judges decision here  

Sincerely,

Dr. Ron Hines, veterinarian
