Treating Animals
The LSU School of Veterinary Medicine offers the largest concentration
of board-certified animal specialists in the state. Radiologists, cardiologists,
oncologists, reproduction specialists, dermatologists, ophthalmologists,
anesthesiologists, surgeons, and avian and bovine specialists are on call
to meet every animal emergency in Louisiana. They treat animals ranging
from family pets to the campus mascot, a Bengal tiger named Mike. The
school’s teaching hospital treats more than 27,000 animals a year,
but expects an even sharper increase in case load when its three new facilities—the
Cancer Treatment Center, the Wildlife Hospital of Louisiana, and the Equine
Intensive Care Unit—are opened.
