Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia

Dr. McKune is board-certified veterinary anesthesiologist and received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from Michigan State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. After a year of private practice, Dr. McKune followed her husband to Washington State University to instruct students on common soft tissue procedures. The need for structured perioperative patient advocacy incited Dr. McKune to learn more; she went on to complete an internship at Washington State University and a residency in Anesthesia and Critical Patient Care at UC Davis. In 2009, she became a boarded Diplomate of the American College of Anesthesia and Analgesia.

After spending nearly three years as anesthesia faculty at the University of Florida, Dr. McKune launched her own independent veterinary anesthesia consultancy, Mythos Veterinary LLC. That experience provided her the opportunity to work at universities and veterinary centers all over the globe. While she took a brief hiatus of six years to serve as Chief Anesthesiologist and Medical Director for a local specialty practice, she missed the best boss she ever had: herself. She has returned to work full time at Mythos Veterinary—veterinary anesthesia that keeps climbing—providing both physical and virtual anesthesia services.

The American College of Anesthesia and Analgesia board-certified specialists in veterinary anesthesia and analgesia are experts at assessment and mitigation of anesthetic risks, delivery of anesthetic and analgesic drugs, maintaining and monitoring physiologic well-being of the anesthetized patient, and providing the highest levels of perioperative patient care including pain management.
