Appointments

How Do I Schedule an Appointment?

Appointments can be scheduled by referral or directly.

Referral
Your veterinarian calls and after consultation with someone on our staff, makes arrangements for your horse to be examined.

Direct Appointment
You may call the Large Animal Office and schedule an appointment directly without a referring veterinarian.

To schedule an appointment, call 225-578-9500 during our regular office hours, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Our receptionist will inquire about the nature of your horse's problem in order to route you to the appropriate clinician.

In case of EMERGENCY when the office is closed, call 225-578-9500 and our answering service will contact the on-duty clinician who will assist you.

When Are We Open?
The Equine Clinic Office is open and a receptionist is on duty between 7:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Horses are seen BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Appointments are generally scheduled between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Call the Equine Clinic Office at 225-578-9500 during regular business hours to schedule an appointment.

We provide 24-hour 7-day-a-week EMERGENCY care. If you have an emergency outside of regular business hours, call 225-578-9500 and our answering service will contact the clinician on duty who will assist you.

Please note that our answering service cannot schedule regular appointments nor can they handle information calls of a non-emergency nature. Please call during regular business hours for this type of assistance.

Outpatient and Inpatient Services
Both outpatient and inpatient services are offered. Hospitalization may be required for diagnosis and treatment of some conditions. Hospitalized horses can be visited by appointment.
