About Us

Dr. Kathy Skalko

Dr. Kathy earned her DVM at the University of Minnesota School of Veterinary Medicine, and came to MLVC soon after.  She enjoys seeing all types of patients, but especially enjoys orthopedic surgery and small animal dentistry. 

Dr. Frank Skalko

Dr. Frank started Moose Lake Vet Clinic in 1977.  He now works only one day a week, but still enjoys seeing patients and their owners!

Dr. Melissa Minkkinen

 Dr. Melissa joined MLVC in 2017 after graduating from the University of Minnesota.  She enjoys variety and likes to work with all species. She splits her time between appointments in the clinic and on the farm. Her small animal focus is preventative medicine and wellness appointments, and has special interest in food animal medicine. She absolutely loves what she does every day, and her favorite things about this clinic are the clients and the staff. When she is not attending to her patients, she enjoys roofing, playing various musical instruments, needlework, woodworking, and spending time outdoors. She has two young children, Bruce and George, and her family shares their home with her "menagerie", including horses, cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, bees, cattle, chickens, and a bearded dragon.

Dr. Kristina Delaney

 Dr. Kristina graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2017, and then spent a year as an intern veterinarian at Stillwater Equine.  She joined the MLVC team in 2018, and is mostly found out in the country seeing equine patients.  Her largest interest is in equine medicine and theriogenology. Her favorite thing about this practice is the dedication of our clients. When she is not attending to her patients, she enjoys horse camping, trail riding, backpacking, sustainable farming, and gardening.  She has a fiancée, Bobby; and shares her home with multiple farm animals; two dogs, Chloe and Finnegan;  and a cat named Murphy.

Clara Carlson, CVT

 Clara always wanted to work with animals, so started tech school in 2018 at Eastern Wyoming College. She joined us here at MLVC in 2018/2019 for a couple of externships and, after graduating, continued on with us full time as a CVT.  Her biggest interests are monitoring anesthesia during surgeries and performing dental cleanings. She also believes that "nothing beats draining a good abscess!" Her favorite thing about working at our clinic is the camaraderie between our team and the fact that everyone is here to improve and learn more about animal welfare while having a fun time. When she is not helping patients, she enjoys working on her family ranch; riding her two horses, Callie and Calamity; hanging out with friends; and seeing new places. She currently lives in Sandstone with her dogs, Rainee and Bowie.
