What Happens After Your Appointment?
After your consultation, you'll have a clear understanding of what's going on with your animal, a step-by-step treatment plan, and any prescriptions that are appropriate.
If your animal's condition requires an in-person visit, Dr. McMillen will let you know clearly — including how urgent it is and what to communicate to a local vet. You'll never leave a Stockyard consultation without a clear next step.

For emergencies or conditions requiring hands-on treatment, in-person care may be necessary. Dr. McMillen will always advise you honestly.
Pricing FAQs
Common questions about how payment and billing work.
Is the $60 fee really all-inclusive?
Yes. $60 covers your complete video consultation with Dr. McMillen, including the exam, diagnoses, and treatment plan. There are no add-on fees, no platform charges, and no billing surprises.
Does the $60 cover prescriptions?
The consultation fee covers everything including prescriptions when they are medically appropriate and legally permitted via telemedicine. You will need to fill prescriptions at your own pharmacy — that cost is separate.
When am I charged?
Payment is collected securely at the time of booking to confirm your appointment slot. We accept all major credit and debit cards through our secure payment processor.
What if I need to cancel?
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please do so through your dashboard as early as possible. We understand that farming and animal emergencies don't follow schedules — reach out and we'll work with you.
Is this covered by pet insurance?
Some pet insurance plans do cover telemedicine consultations. We recommend checking with your provider. We can provide documentation of your consultation to submit for reimbursement.
Can I consult about multiple animals in one session?
Consultations are booked per animal. If you have concerns about multiple animals, we recommend booking separate appointments to ensure each animal gets the focused attention they deserve.
