I am retired and live on a fixed income. That being said, my dog is now 7 and has never been to a Veterinarian other than when I first got them home to get checked and wormed. I cannot afford annual Vet. visit. I take my dog , every year, to a mobile Vet. for shots only. My sweet Allie had developed a growth behind her ear and it needed to come off.

I was skeptical and nervous for my dog. This place is truly special!! My dog had a little area to as she's super skittish around people that she doesn't regularly see. They made her feel at ease, which surprised me. As of late , they take strict precautions as far as Covid is concerned. They come get your pooch from your car and offer payment options while in your vehicle. I can't say enough about how much Hickory Knoll has changed my perception of Veterinarians. They even call , twice in fact , to check up on your animal after the visit. They do this every time and it means a lot to me.

The veterinarian working the ER last year told me nothing was wrong with my dog. I brought her in…read morefor breathing concerns because I had just left MedVet who did a sedated evaluation and determined she had an elongated soft palate and laryngeal paralysis . The ER vet told me if she's never turns blue or sounded like she was struggling to breathe she was fine, totally dismissing the reason I was at the ER with her in the first place. I still had to pay for the visit, of course. I had actually already scheduled the surgery through Metairie Small animal Hospital for the next week, but cancelled the next day based on his diagnosis. It's now months later, and my poor girl is still struggling to breathe. She chokes on her water when she tries to drink, overheats during exercise, wakes up multiple times during the night because she stops breathing. Why did he have to make me think I was crazy? He didn't observe her throat under sedation to really know anything. I went to the ER for a serious concern that night, and was turned away and told I was crazy. It really makes you second guess surgery for your pup. But, after much more research and observation, I know she needs the surgery. Problem now is she needs to be evaluated under sedation again, which costs more money, and she may have damaged more parts of her throat that can't be repaired. Why would I want to go back again?

The first thing doctor Connor O'Brien said to me was that we "need to have a quality of life…read morediscussion," as though it was a possibility that we might put my dog down. She was not that ill. Days earlier, she was playing and enjoying long walks. She was only dehydrated more than likely from a bad tooth. I told Dr. O'Brien that she had several times in the past refused to eat and got dehydrated and bounced back after a few days of rest. This time lasted a day longer and she needed fluids. That's all she needed - fluids and perhaps an anti-nausea med to give her the strength to get up and have something to eat or drink. He gave her an opioid sedative which is terrible for dogs, I learned later. But the thought behind the decision to give her a sedative is inherently flawed. How was she supposed to get up to drink or eat while on a sedative? It was sure death and that is what Dr. O'Brien did to my dog. When I brought my dog in she was lifting up her head and responsive to my voice. When we left she was all but brain dead. I was told the opioid would wear off in a few hours, but 12 hours later, and she never regained any meaningful consciousness. She then died, more than likely due to the last 12 hours with nothing to eat or drink, severely dehydrated and with opioids in her system, which was entirely unnecessary. I told Dr. O'Brien that, in the past, a little cortisone usually did the trick and had her eating and drinking and living fully again, but I left the decision up to him. I should not have. From that very first sentence about "quality of life" I should have been wary that Dr. O'Brien wanted to put my dog down. And die she did. A few days earlier she was running and playing, enjoying snack and walks and cuddles. She only needed some hydration. Instead she got a lethal dose of pain medicine that she did not even need. I should have stood my ground and made it *my* choice. People, STAND UP AND ADVOCATE for your loved ones. Some doctors are sh----.

Chateau Veterinary Hospital was absolutely amazing--especially if you're traveling internationally…read morewith a pet, or honestly, if you just need an exceptional vet. They handled our international health certificate for our dog, Chester, and our cat, Muscade, and made what is usually a very stressful process feel completely manageable. Summer Stein was our main point of contact, and she is truly an expert when it comes to international travel paperwork. Dr. Fraser completed the health screening, and the entire process was seamless. One huge bonus that not many people realize: if you're traveling with two pets, they can be listed on one health certificate. That alone saved us time, money, and unnecessary stress. Before finding Chateau, I had reached out to several clinics and felt overwhelmed and unsure. The moment Summer answered my call, I felt confident we were in the right hands--and I was right. We arrived in France with zero issues. One very important tip for anyone traveling internationally with pets: yes, the health certificate must be validated within 10 days of travel, but your vet appointment should be scheduled at least one month before your departure. This allows enough time for the USDA to process, endorse, and mail everything back to you. Summer guided us through this timing perfectly. I also really appreciated that they had us test anti-anxiety medication before travel to ensure the correct dosage. Best advice ever. It made a world of difference knowing exactly what Chester needed--and to be clear, these are not tranquilizers, which are forbidden for international travel. We even had to recheck Chester in Paris for our connecting flight to Nice. He refused additional medication at that point but still did very well. There were no issues--no barking, no complaints from airline staff, and he remained calm throughout the entire process. He was understandably nervous by the time we picked him up in Nice, but he was completely okay. I was nervous about giving him medication in the first place, but testing it ahead of time and following their guidance truly paid off. Another thing worth mentioning: Chester is an anxious dog when it comes to vet visits. He's sweet--not aggressive--just scared. The team handled his exam and vaccinations with patience, calm, and confidence. They clearly know how to work thoughtfully with nervous animals, and that meant a lot to us. I also really appreciated that they offer happy visits, where you can stop in without an appointment just to help your pet feel comfortable with the vet and environment--no exam, no stress, just positive exposure. Beyond all of that, this is simply an outstanding veterinary office. Everyone is incredibly kind, organized, professional, welcoming, and knowledgeable--what more could you ask for? It's clearly a locally owned practice, not a corporate chain, and that shows in every interaction. I had a terrible experience at a corporate vet prior to this, and honestly, I'm grateful for it because it led me to Chateau Veterinary Hospital. Thank you so much to the entire team at Chateau Veterinary Hospital. We truly couldn't have done this without you. We're now happily settled and enjoying our life in France.

Who else has had a traumatic experience with Med Vet on Causeway?…read more https://www.medvet.com/location/new-orleans/ I was referred to this emergency vet after calling Pet Center on David Dr. around 10:49 PM regarding a severely injured baby possum I found still alive with traumatic injuries and exposed organs. I was shocked and deeply upset by my experience. The hospital refused not only to examine the possum, but also declined to provide humane euthanasia. Instead, I was told to drive approximately an hour to Baton Rouge (which was closed) or begin calling wildlife rehabilitators myself--after 11 PM at night. What made this experience even more upsetting was that no veterinarian came out to speak with me directly. I was told they did not handle wildlife, but this was a tiny, fatally injured baby animal clearly suffering and in obvious distress. I understand clinics have at discretion policies and limitations, but I left feeling helpless, frustrated, and heartbroken. I took a chance driving there late at night, even with a brand-new trailer attached and no lights, because I was trying to do the right thing and prevent suffering. Sadly, the baby possum died later that night. That reality has stayed with me. Part of me wants to share the photos so people can understand the severity of the situation and why I was desperately seeking help. Compassion matters in emergency situations. I was not looking for specialized wildlife treatment--I was simply trying to find humane help for a suffering animal and left feeling dismissed during a heartbreaking emergency.
