Please call 979-845-3541 to schedule an appointment. We’ll do our best to answer your questions and may have some questions for you so that we can schedule an appointment at a time that is both convenient for you and allows enough time for the necessary exam. You can expect to receive a phone call to confirm your appointment as it approaches.
No! We accept referral and non-referral appointments. If you’re scheduling an appointment based on a recommendation from your regular veterinarian, we would like to talk to them. Please have them call—or let them know they should expect a call from us.
*If your veterinarian has called to schedule your appointment, our front desk staff will call to confirm the details with you.
Please park in the marked trailer spaces and check-in at the front desk. A fourth-year veterinary student and technician will help you unload and come into the hospital. The rest of your veterinary care team will meet you in the hospital.
*If you have concerns about walking your animals in from the parking lot, please let us know. We can help you unload closer, or inside the hospital, when necessary.
If your animal develops an urgent need for after-hours care, one of the on-call doctors from our Field Service team can be reached for consultation by calling the LATH front desk at 979-845-3541. Over the telephone, the doctor can assess your animal’s situation and discuss various options for care.
If immediate emergency treatment is indicated, we have transitioned to a “haul-in” system for equine emergencies; you will need to transport your animal to the Large Animal Teaching Hospital for after-hours treatment by our Emergency/Critical Care Service team. Overall, this will improve efficiency for after-hours emergencies and provide access to our specialized instrumentation and monitoring, otherwise unavailable at your location. Our equine care team realizes that disease conditions or injuries can occur that prevent the transport of an animal needing urgent care. An emergency service call will be performed if this happens.
