Southern Veterinary Hospital

Preventive Care

Dental Care
When was the last time you had your pet’s teeth cleaned? According to the AVMA, pets who have never had a teeth cleaning have signs of dental disease by the time they are three years old. For that reason, Southern Veterinary Hospital recommends that all pets have a yearly oral examination, and scheduled dental procedure upon recommendation.
Vaccination
If you wish to have your pet microchipped, simply ask about it at your next appointment. The procedure is simple. Your pet’s vet will inject the microchip using a sterile syringe into your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. The procedure is quick and causes minimal discomfort, just like a vaccination.
Behavioral Counseling
Nutritional Counseling
Comprehensive Examination
Blood testing is commonly used to help diagnose disease or pinpoint injury in animals. It can also help determine the state of your pet’s health during regular physical exam visits. Although a CBC or a chemistry profile can be performed separately, these tests are frequently done at the same time; when the results are interpreted together, they provide a good overview of many of the body’s functions. As with any other diagnostic test, results of a CBC and chemistry profile are not interpreted in a vacuum. Dr. Martin will combine this information with physical exam findings, medical history, and other information to assess your pet’s health status and determine if additional testing should be recommended.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Fleas and ticks are more than just a nuisance. They can make your pet extremely uncomfortable and cause several different types of illnesses, like flea allergy dermatitis and tapeworm infestations. Southern Veterinary Hospital can evaluate your pet to determine the best type of flea prevention medication.
Behavioral Disorder Treatment
Your pet needs “core” vaccines and may need “non-core” vaccines. Core vaccines for dogs include canine parvovirus, canine distemper, infectious canine hepatitis and rabies. Core inoculations for cats include feline panleukopenia, feline calicivirus, feline rhinotracheitis and rabies.
Pain Management
Before the surgery, we use the conclusions from the pre-surgery exam and the accompanying lab work to determine which methods to use during the operation. After the surgery, we design pain management strategies specific to your pet's size, breed, and condition. It's Southern Veterinary Hospital’s goal to give you all the advice you need to properly care for your pet from the moment they come home from the surgery. Taking an all-around approach to surgical care is the best path to achieving better pet health, and we want our clients to feel as empowered as we do to help.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
We examine and treat pets for a wide range of medical conditions ranging from skin problems, to major trauma and illness.

Infection Treatment

Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Southern Veterinary Hospital offers a complete puppy wellness plan, designed to ensure immunization against common canine viruses (Distemper, Parvovirus, Rabies, Kennel Cough, etc.). Vaccinations can begin as early as 6 weeks of age and continue every 3 to 4 weeks until your puppy is 4 months old. Puppies are not fully protected against these common viruses until 3 weeks following their final vaccines.
Feline Retro Virus Treatment
In-house blood work including: complete blood count, chemistry, electrolytes, activated clotting time, canine and feline heartworm testing, feline immunodeficiency virus and feline leukemia testing.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
A CBC and chemistry profile is an important component of wellness blood work. Dr. Martin may recommend wellness blood work during your pet’s regular exams. Even if your pet is young and healthy, performing this testing periodically helps establish “normal” values for your pet. The next time blood work is performed, Dr. Martin can compare the results with previous results to see if anything has changed. Depending on your pet’s age and health history, additional tests (such as thyroid testing or urinalysis) may also be recommended as part of wellness testing. For seniors or chronically ill pets, it may be recommended to perform blood work more frequently. Wellness blood work screens for many medical conditions, including diabetes and kidney disease. In many cases, early diagnosis and management can improve quality of life and the long-term prognosis for pets with chronic illnesses.
Heart Disease Treatment
Kidney Disease Treatment
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Dogs and cats are prone to developing the same types of dental diseases and problems as humans, including gingivitis, periodontal disease, tooth decay, staining and cavities. The process of dental decay and disease starts every time your pet eats. When your pet eats, food particles get on their teeth and gums. This fuels the bacteria in your pet’s mouth, causing an acid attack on the enamel of their teeth and creating a sticky, clear substance called plaque. If the plaque is left on teeth, it hardens into tartar. When plaque and tartar are left on your pet’s teeth for an extended period of time, it can lead to gingivitis, periodontal disease, cavities and oral infections.

Wound and Fracture Care

Veterinary Surgery
You can expect our staff's complete attention when your pet is in the surgical room. Veterinary surgery often requires multiple professionals working together, which is why we make sure your pet's temperature, IV fluids, and anesthesia are constantly monitored and adjusted by a trained technician or assistant. Our team works together to communicate any potential anomalies that may compromise the efficacy of the surgery. We've found this strategy to be the best possible way to ensure favorable outcomes.
Spaying and Neutering
When your pet needs surgery, you need to find a practice that can administer both gentle and effective treatment to your beloved companion. From routine procedures, such as spaying or neutering, to more advanced operations, your pet may need to undergo surgery for any number of reasons. Our staff at Southern Veterinary Hospital is trained to give your pet the care and compassion they need to not only successfully make it through the operation but to lead a healthier and happier life when they return from our facilities.

Laboratory Services
Blood tests are an essential part of diagnosing what is ailing your pet, just as they are in human medicine and are helpful in diagnosing illnesses or injuries.
X-Ray
As pets age, their need for diagnostic testing beyond a physical exam increases. These diagnostic tests (blood pressure checks, blood work, urine tests, thyroid tests) can help detect diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes and kidney disease, before signs of illness develop. We offer a Senior Wellness Package for all dogs over 7 years old and all cats over 8-9 years old. For dogs, the package includes a complete blood count, blood chemistry panel, EKG, urinalysis, and blood pressure check. For cats, the package includes all the above, plus a thyroid hormone level test. Other testing, such as chest x-rays may be added based on you pets' needs. Please call our office for prices or to schedule an appointment.
Dental Radiology
Dental procedures include an examination of your pet’s head, neck, face, ears and mouth in order to check for signs of health problems. Once the basic examination is complete, your pet will be anesthetized and monitored as your veterinary technician cleans all the plaque and tartar from your pet’s teeth and below the gum line. In some cases, dental x-rays are required to assess problem areas found during cleanings. Your veterinarian will then examine and evaluate all areas of concern addressed during the cleaning procedure and make decisions concerning necessary extractions for teeth that are sources of pain or infection. Once your pet’s teeth are clean, our staff can give you tips and tricks to help you remove food particles and plaque at home between professional pet dental cleanings, like pet-safe toothpaste and toothbrushes, as well as dental chews.
Microchipping
It only takes a moment for your pet to bolt out the door or break away from his leash, and many lost pets never find their way home because they have no form of identification when they get away. Tags on collars are great, but pets often break or lose their collars in their attempt at freedom. Microchipping is a way to ensure your pet can find his way home, with permanent identification always in place. Here is a closer look at how you can use a microchip to keep your pet safe.

General Pet Care

Boarding
Veterinary pet boarding offers many benefits over traditional pet boarding, and the biggest benefit is that we have a veterinarian and veterinary technicians and assistants that are experienced and trained in the handling and care of all types of dogs and cats. We also have the ability to examine and provide medical care for your pet if he or she becomes ill, and the ability to administer daily medications for pets with chronic illnesses.
