Her professional interests include canine and feline internal medicine, dentistry, and pocket pets with a specific focus on ferrets.  She cherishes being a veterinarian of a small community as it allows her to foster friendships and see many pets through all life stages. 

Dr. McKinney is a breast cancer survivor.  In 2015 at the age of 36 she was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer.  After surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy she is now CANCER FREE.  She is happy to discuss her experiences with anybody as she knows first-hand how scary it can be to be diagnosed with cancer.
