Welcome
The Companion Animal Orthopedic and
Neurosurgical Service at LSU aims to work closely with your veterinarian
to offer you the highest quality of surgical care possible for your pet.
We provide state-of-the-art veterinary medicine and surgery, while
teaching future veterinarians and veterinary surgeons.
We are different from a private veterinary specialty practice. Teaching
veterinary students, veterinary interns and surgical residents is one of
our primary tasks, so it is essential that they be involved diagnosing and
treating your pet under the direct guidance of an
ACVS-boarded
veterinary surgeon. Consequently, an appointment at the LSU-VTH may take
more time than one with your local veterinarian. You should be prepared to
spend at least 90 minutes at the LSU-VTH after your appointment begins,
and if extensive testing is required, it may be necessary to leave your
pet for a full day with us.
Our orthopedic team is utterly committed to excellent veterinary care and
we believe that, ultimately, both you and your pet benefit from our
expertise, specialized training and state of the art equipment. We look
forward to working with you and your pet.
