Our Veterinary Support Staff in Metairie, LA
Ginger, Office Manager
I don't remember a day in my life that I have not had an interest in animals from 4 legged to feathered to scales to hard shells. I was born addicted to horses, I met my first best friend at the age of 6 while I was riding my stick horse down the sidewalk. Although I do not currently own a horse, I did own them for a good portion of my life. As an adult in my 40's I became interested in the discipline of Dressage and loved attending shows with a beautiful Appaloosa gelding I had at that time. Currently I have one dog that is 14 and a cat that adopted me. My greatest accomplishment and pride and joy is my son, Brian Morvant. He is an actor and stuntman on stage, screen and television. He lives in New York. I am very proud of his accomplishments.
