With heavy rain expected across much of south Louisiana this week, the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine is encouraging pet owners and residents to prepare for the possibility of displaced wildlife and hazardous conditions for animals. Periods of heavy rainfall can quickly create hazardous conditions for pets while also forcing wildlife from flooded habitats into neighborhoods, parks, roadways, and backyards.
