A Colorado Springs veterinarian, Kelsey Moses, has chosen to surrender her license after having it suspended for the third time since 2023. Documents state that Moses was ordered to follow strict guidelines from the state during each suspension but allegedly continually broke them.

Background

In February 2023, state documents say she was placed on probation after consuming alcohol while reviewing patient files. They also say a urinalysis returned evidence of the use of an illegal substance. The documents go on to say she failed to comply with the probation terms by continuing to drink alcohol. Her license was suspended in December that same year.

The following March, she was again placed on probation and permitted to work, provided she submitted urine tests. However, the documents outline more instances of her drinking in violation of her probation. According to the documents, the cycle of non-compliance continued, leading to the State Board of Veterinary Medicine asking Moses to voluntarily cease practice in February of this year.

The documents say she continued to practice after this, and the state suspended her license in April of this year, after multiple urine samples tested positive for methamphetamine. KRDO13 was told by High Country Veterinary Hospital that while Moses still owns the business, she is not practicing, and all of her patients have been taken over by other providers.

On July 20, Moses agreed to give up her license in Colorado for two years but explicitly does not admit guilt or wrongdoing and denies that allegation against her. According to records, Moses can continue to work as the clinic’s owner but cannot practice veterinary medicine.
