The mission of the Companion Animal Orthopedic and Neurosurgical Service
at LSU is 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 will probably be more time
consuming 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 this extra attention.
