When Dr. Lagasse was 10 or 11 years old growing up on a small farm northeast of Rolla, ND, his father had to call the local veterinarian to do a caesarian on a heifer.
Dr. Helen Knutt came out to their farm and did the surgery in the barn.
His mother who knew that her son did not like the sight of blood (as it turns out, only human blood), did not want him to watch.
But he was fascinated and watched the whole procedure.
Ever since that night, he has wanted to be a veterinarian.
Dr. Lagasse attended North Dakota State University for his undergraduate work and eventually graduated from Iowa State University College of Veterinary medicine in 1992.

Blood Transfusions: It occasionally becomes important to perform blood transfusions on patients in emergency situations when they have lost blood from some sort of wound (hit by car, shot, and fight with another animal).
Other time this treatment may become important is when your pet has a chronic condition that causes levels of blood cells to drop dangerously low.
This can happen because of infections, parasites, or ingestion of some poisons.
We have the ability to find your pet's blood type, and with the assistance of volunteer animals (who happen to live with our staff members), are able to perform this life-saving procedure in house.
