About Vet

Susan’s love for animals is apparent in her 12 years of collegiate coursework. Initially, Susan planned to impact animals by studying their genomes to discover disease-causing variants, but she couldn’t imagine her life without a daily dose of animals and decided to leave the lab with a Master’s degree in Integrative Genetics and Genomics upon acceptance to LSU’s School of Veterinary Medicine.

Susan lives on a small ranch with 6 dogs, 4 cats, a box turtle, a bearded dragon, 11 chickens, and 2 horses. She rescued all of her animals except the chickens, who she raised from birth. She loves senior animals and regularly fosters the oldest small dogs from shelters in her area. Medically, Susan prefers wellness visits and management of chronic diseases, as well as nutrition, behavior, allergies, and dermatology.

In the future, Susan hopes to open a rescue facility for senior pets, pets with disabilities, and pets with chronic diseases. She loves the "underdog" and is passionate about making sure every pet has access to appropriate healthcare.

I do not prescribe medications to CVS pharmacies.

Dr Susan was very helpful and knew exactly what my bearded dragon needed for his condition. Despite Dr Susan sendjng the prescriptions the same day , the place I had the prescriptions filled failed to process the order at a reasonable pace and as a result my bearded dragon passed away the second day. the prescriptions were delivered . Overall I would highly recommend Dr.Susan..
