Despite the disaster of ice, snow, and cold weather, all three of the major veterinary clinics in Central Kentucky are up and running, although Hagyard-Davidson-McGee is on emergency power. Dr. Doug Byars, head of the medicine clinic at Hagyard-Davidson-McGee in Lexington, said generators are keeping services going for the horses, but surgery is on an emergency basis for the moment.

Byars said he contacted Kentucky Utilities, the major electricity supplier in the area, so the hospital would be put on the priority list. He doesn’t know when power will be restored
