Meet the Doctors

Dr. Thomas Turcotte

I grew up in north Georgia and completed my undergraduate degree in Biology at ABAC (Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College) in Georgia. I then went to Auburn University to complete my Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. I have a great love for all things nature and outdoors. In high school and college, I was involved in FFA, agriculture and veterinary medicine. I am an avid outdoorsman and enjoy hunting and fishing as much as I can. I also enjoy scuba diving when I can make it to the coast. While I did not grow up in this area, I am from a small town and love it here. I am very happy to be a part of this community and to be able to care for you and your animals.

Dr. Alex Turcotte

I was born and raised in northern Kentucky. I completed my undergraduate degree in Agriculture at EKU. I then went to Auburn University to complete my Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian and while I grew up in the suburbs, I always managed to have animals around. I enjoy hiking, fishing, and boating. When I am not outside, I am a big book worm. I am so excited to be here and to get to know all of you and your animals and help provide the best quality of life for them and you.

We met in vet school at Auburn University and were inseparable after the first week. After vet school, we got married and moved to Georgia to a small town, rural, mixed-animal practice. We loved it there and worked at this great practice for 3 years. After having our first son, Sam, and then getting pregnant with our second, Chris, we decided to move closer to family. We were very blessed to find a new home and practice at Harrodsburg Animal Hospital. We are so excited to see our family, clinic and community grow in the coming years. We hope that all of you and your animals will be a part of that.

Assistant

Hi there! I’m McKenzie, one of the Veterinary Assistants here at HAH. I joined the team in February of 2023, and I'm very lucky to be a part of such a loving and supportive family. This job has given me the opportunity to learn a lot about vet med, form friendships that will last forever and meet some awesome clients and animals. I grew up spending lots of time on my family farm in Gravel Switch where I developed a deep love for animals and nature, so working in this field was a given. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my son and pets, traveling and reading. I’m very excited to see you all and work with you and your furry babes!

Allyson Yarra

Sincerely the most thorough and kind veterinary staff I've ever encountered. I am so happy we are close by and can be regular patients. When my cat was having urinary issues, they scheduled us to be seen within the hour. You can tell that the well-being of the animals is their number one priority.

Amanda/JamesDunc Roark

The whole staff is nice, great with my more skiddish cat, explains everything in detail and answers any questions or concerns I have. They're all amazing.

I can't say enough about how friendly the entire staff is. Im always greeted with such hospitality. I recently had to make the decision to help my senior cat of 20 years cross the rainbow 🌈 Bridge. Dr. alex never left my side and comforted me during the whole difficult process. She will never know how much that meant to me. Thank you Harrodsburg Animal Hospital for being such a wonderful facility.

Dr. Alex was so gentle and kind to my dog during our first visit. She was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything very well. The entire staff was wonderful and caring. A great visit to the Harrodsburg Animal Hospital!

Jody & Marshall Simpson

Dr Thomas was very caring with Mikey my dog. He Prescribed him some medication to see if it would help his cough/breathing. They got him in within 24 hours when I called to say that he wasn’t any better.

Heat stroke

This is a common term used to describe when an animal’s body temperature becomes too high causing disease or damage. Dogs and cats can have a normal body temperature of up to ~103F. However, any body temperature over 106F will start causing multiple organ failure and can lead to death. Heat stroke is most common in animals left in vehicles on warm or hot days. However, heat stroke can happen when animals are left outside without proper shade or water. Some predisposed animals can have heat stroke even with proper conditions on hot days. Predisposed animals are the young, old, brachiocephalic (short nose), overweight, or animals with ongoing illness.

Signs of heat stroke include increased respirations, very dark or light gum color, lethargy, unresponsiveness, and seizures. This is one of the true animal emergencies. On your way to the vet you can use cool towels to help bring down the temperature, DO NOT use cold water or ice as this may cause more injury. Once at the vet, IV fluids and supportive treatment will be started. How high and for how long the temperature is increased determines the outcome. In some cases, even if the animal makes it through the initial insult there can be on going issues that can take days to present. If there is ever any concern that it is too hot, then bring your pets inside
