    We had a emergency and our Vet in Deridder sent us to Bayou south to have our Momma goat, who was having trouble giving birth to her babies. She was super stressed and just wore out from it, we showed up late in the afternoon. They took her back quickly, assessed her situation, Dr. Watkins came out to let us know what needed to be done to help her, we were expecting that we lost both kids ( babies) but no we now have to gorgeous kids, boy and girl, momma goat is recovering, and all went amazing!!!! I cannot thank the staff that stayed late, and Dr. Watkins for saving our precious Nixie girl and her babes. We are so grateful! Thank you all again so much!

    While passing through town, I felt like I had a very much emergency with my molly mule. I called around found this location called them, and when I pulled in, they immediately went to work. I am so grateful for this clinic and their staff. Very reasonable prices.

    I've brought my dogs here for years. Although my pups don't like going, the staff is patient with them and take great care of them. Not too mention, the prices are affordable.
