Gulf Coast Veterinary Emergency Hospital

I don't even know where to begin. I took my cat there (I was not a cat person but I am now) so broken I didn't believe she would make it to the clinic. Dr. Sarah Burke took X-Rays and then explained the battle we were fighting. Dr. Burke and the entire staff kept her alive through the night (an amazing accomplishment) then contacted me in the morning with updates. After four days in the hospital Ford came home. She is not back to 100% yet, she may never be, but she is alive and very happy thanks to the amazing crew at the Gulf Coast Veterinary Emergency Hospital. Every day she improves and that is all thanks to the work Dr. Sarah Burke and her staff did. I thank them all more than words could ever say. They are the epitome of compassion, understanding, knowledge, and professionalism.

We took our 15 1/2 year old dachshund to the hospital with breathing difficulties. We are in MS during the winter months and her regular vet is back home. Dr. Jeff Sutton was so very compassionate in explaining to us the options. The veterinary assistant (I don’t remember her name) was also so wonderful and caring. We had to make a hard decision and they let us spend as much time as we wanted with our little girl to say good-bye. We had her cremated so we can take her home with us. The crematory did beautifully and she is in a cedar box with her name plate, a plaster disc with her footprints, and a special poem.

I went there last night after I noticed my 7 year old shih tzu had lost her sight suddenly. Of course I expected emergency fees, what I didnt expect was them doing procedures without explaining the proces first. Then after I cried and cried about how I was even goin to afford the 400 dollars, which I didnt have... I learn of an option they never explained to me. A care credit card. I would of opted for more treatment and left her over night for observation. This was never explained to me at all as even being an option. I called there today and the lady that answered the phone was #1 rude and uncompassionate and told me oh yeah we take that and u can apply online and bring her back for the rest of the treatment!!!!! I'm furious!!!! 🤬🤬🤬

Even tho it isn’t where we wanted to spend Christmas Eve at we are so thankful for the staff here and Miranda was such a great tech and took such good care of our River. They were willing to work with us and everything with money and different treatments. If you are ever in a bind this is the place to take your fur baby. We are so thankful and blessed they took care of our boy. Thank you!!

I belong to a cat lover's group on Facebook. One of our members had an emergency, her cat had a urinary blockage. He needed to be hospitalized for the weekend. She did not have the money so we all pitched in to help. Even though we didn't have the total amount needed by the time she was leaving, the vet agreed to keep her cat because he would certainly die if he didn't stay overnight. The staff here cares more about the animals than the do the money and that's hard to find these days. We ended up raising all the money needed and they let us call in the donations since we live all over America. Ellen was working the desk and was super kind and understanding as we all called in with our payments. If I ever end up in MS I will be taking my cats here. What an incredible staff! The cat, Simon ended up needing to stay several days and they took excellent care of him. They made sure he was ok to go home before releasing him, not because they wanted more money but because they care about Simon. The rates were super reasonable compared to other ER vets I've worked with in this group but the most remarkable thing was how much they cared for Simon's well being. I highly recommend Gulf Coast!
