Urgent Care Veterinarian
About The Position
UrgentVet provides after-hours urgent care for canine and feline patients in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area, bridging the gap between daytime general practice and emergency or overnight care. The clinics treat common urgent cases such as wounds, ear infections, vomiting and diarrhea, and euthanasia, without additional emergency-clinic fees. This is urgent care only, with no wellness appointments and no abdominal surgeries. Veterinarians work single-doctor shifts and manage a varying caseload of surgeries and appointments during clinic hours. The paperless, modern clinics are equipped with cloud-based EMR, digital X-ray, and IDEXX in-house laboratory equipment. The practice describes its approach as Fear Free and feline friendly, with a strong technical team and support. The schedule is flexible and limited to swing/second shifts. The role includes mentorship, collaboration with veterinarians and clinical leadership, and support-staff development through the internal LevelUp training program.
