Dr. Meggan Graves grew up riding Hunter Jumper horses and showing Suffolk sheep with 4-H in Cookeville, Tennessee. Upon graduation from veterinary school in 2001, Dr. Graves went into equine practice treating both ambulatory and hospital cases. Upon starting a family, Dr. Graves transitioned to emergency-only to allow her to be home with her young children during the day. She created her own mobile practice in 2008, On-Call Equine Emergency Services, providing emergency relief services for several large animal practices in western North Carolina. In 2013, the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine adopted that business model where Dr. Graves now offers emergency relief services for large animal practitioners in the Knoxville area, while teaching and mentoring veterinary students and house officers. For more than 20 years, Dr. Graves has been operating as an after-hours, field-based emergency clinician which has allowed her to improve the quality of life of other practitioners, enjoy exciting cases, and have more time with family.
