Nothing wrong with my cat, but I have been meaning to ask for input/recommendations. Seems like all the vets operate on a 7am-6pmish schedule. Just wanted to ask in case something ever happens in the middle of the night or something. TIA

I think I heard there's one on Sherwood maybe?

The one on Sherwood is the only one I know of. Prepare your wallet though, they aren't cheap

Sherwood is the best known, but I believe there is an animal hospital on Jefferson Highway, across from Towne Center near City Pork.

A lot of vet clinics refer after hours cases to Sherwood Animal Hospital. My 20lb baby cat ate a Hershey's candy bar and the wrapper. Wife took him there and while in the waiting room he pooped out the candy bar wrapper.

It's around $100 just to see the vet there which is not that bad. They also have specialist at this clinic during the day.

LSU is 24/7 as well. Be aware it's $450 to walk in the door.

My understanding is that they aren't a 24/7 place. Most Animal Hospitals aren't.

LSU vet clinic has on call. And like mentioned, they are not cheap, but still cheaper than here in Houston (minus the Chinatown 'vets')

Years ago,2005 to be exact, the LSU Vet school saved my dog one weekend night after she had been shot by drunk neighbor....not sure if they are still an option or not but I owe them a lot for saving her yes not cheap cost $1600 dollars but it was either that or she bleed out. The neighbor on the other hand.........

As others have mentioned, Sherwood does have a 24 hour clinic, however the LSU vet school has a 24/7/365 emergency clinic that is much more capable than the Sherwood hospital.

We once brought our dog to Sherwood in the middle of the night only to be told that they didn't even have the medication our dog needed. So they sent us to LSU and still made us pay the emergency fee. And the cost is the same at LSU so it's pointless to go to Sherwood considering the inadequacy of service they provide as compared to LSU.

Plus, LSU faculty and staff get a 10% discount at the LSU vet, which was another benefit for me.

The emergency fee is only $100 as of last month when I brought my dog in. It's the same cost as Sherwood.

sherwood animal hospital might not be 24/7(?), but it's where i've taken mine there outside of my vet's regular hours.

LSU is the only for sure 24/7, that i know of.
