Coastal Carolina Animal Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes. Our exams include a nose-to-tail assessment of body condition, eyes, ears, mouth, internal organs, and skin to detect early signs of illness and maintain overall health. We also discuss personalized care plans, including recommended diagnostics or treatments.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to ensure a healthy start for your new pet. Our packages include physical exams, tailored vaccination schedules (core and lifestyle vaccines), parasite prevention plans, and guidance on nutrition, spay/neuter timing, and microchipping. We prioritize early socialization and health education for a smooth transition into pet ownership.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on proactive health management for aging pets. We recommend more frequent exams to monitor age-related conditions, adjust diets/exercise routines, and address subtle signs of pain or discomfort (e.g., mobility issues, behavioral changes). Early detection allows us to tailor treatments to extend your senior pet’s quality of life.

We provide essential Core Vaccinations for dogs (Rabies, Distemper, Parvo via DAPP) and cats (Rabies, FVRCP). These vaccines protect against highly contagious and often fatal diseases. Our team creates customized schedules based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and exposure risks, ensuring optimal immunity while addressing any concerns about side effects.

As part of our parasite prevention program, we provide Heartworm Testing & Prevention through annual blood tests and year-round preventive medications (oral, topical, or injectable). Early detection and prevention are critical, as heartworm disease can be severe. We’ll help you choose the most effective option based on your pet’s lifestyle and discuss monitoring protocols.

We offer Flea & Tick Prevention with year-round solutions, including oral medications, topical treatments, and injectable options. Our team evaluates your pet’s risk factors (e.g., outdoor access, local pests) and recommends a personalized plan to protect against infestations, diseases (like Lyme), and allergic reactions. Regular exams include checks for parasites.

We provide Microchipping & Registration services to ensure your pet can be identified if lost. Our team implants a permanent microchip during routine visits (often combined with vaccinations or spay/neuter) and registers the chip with a national database. We also educate pet owners on keeping contact information updated for maximum effectiveness.

We offer Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management to address dietary needs at every life stage, from puppies to senior pets. Our team assesses your pet’s weight, activity level, and health conditions to recommend balanced diets, portion control, or therapeutic foods. We also provide guidance on treats, supplements, and homemade meal options for optimal health.

During annual exams, we perform Parasite Deworming (Intestinal) through fecal testing and targeted treatments to eliminate worms (e.g., roundworms, hookworms). Even pets on prevention may need deworming, as some parasites are resistant to over-the-counter products. We tailor deworming protocols to your pet’s lifestyle and health status.

We conduct In-House Bloodwork (CBC and Chemistry Panels) to screen for underlying conditions like anemia, organ dysfunction, or metabolic disorders. These tests are especially valuable for senior pets, those with chronic illnesses, or pre-surgical evaluations. Our team interprets results promptly and discusses findings with you to create a treatment plan.

As part of our parasite prevention program, we offer Fecal Testing during annual exams to detect intestinal parasites (e.g., giardia, coccidia) before they cause symptoms. Early detection allows us to prescribe effective deworming treatments and prevent zoonotic risks to your family. We recommend testing even for pets on prevention.

We provide Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose issues like fractures, arthritis, heart/lung conditions, or foreign objects. Our state-of-the-art equipment delivers quick, painless imaging, and our veterinarians use results to guide treatments, from medications to surgery. X-rays are often recommended during wellness exams or when symptoms like limping or coughing arise.

We use Dental X-Rays to assess hidden dental issues like root infections, fractured teeth, or bone loss beneath the gumline. These images guide decisions for extractions, treatments, or cleanings. Dental X-rays are often recommended during oral exams, especially for pets showing signs of pain or advanced dental disease.

We perform Tooth Extractions when necessary to relieve pain from infected, broken, or severely decayed teeth. Our team uses advanced techniques and provides detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Extractions are recommended only after thorough oral exams and X-rays to determine the best course of action.

We provide Spay & Neuter Surgery as a routine preventive service to reduce health risks (e.g., cancers, infections) and control pet overpopulation. Our surgeries are performed with customized anesthetic plans and state-of-the-art monitoring to ensure safety. We also offer pre-surgical consultations to address any concerns and provide post-operative care guidance.

During urgent care hours, we provide Emergency Stabilization for acute issues like trauma, poisoning, or severe illness. Our team assesses and treats life-threatening conditions (e.g., IV fluids, oxygen therapy) to stabilize your pet before further diagnostics or referral. We prioritize same-day appointments for critical cases within our hospital hours.

We offer Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring for pets requiring intensive care, such as post-surgery recovery, chronic conditions, or advanced diagnostics. Our team provides round-the-clock observation, medication administration, and adjustments to treatment plans based on your pet’s response. We keep you updated on their progress throughout their stay.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy to treat dehydration, shock, or kidney disease, or to support pets undergoing anesthesia or surgery. Our fluids are tailored to your pet’s specific needs (e.g., electrolyte balance, blood pressure support) and delivered under close monitoring. This therapy is often part of our emergency and hospitalization services.

We provide Pain Management for pets recovering from surgery, chronic conditions (e.g., arthritis), or injuries. Our team offers a range of options, from oral medications to injectables, and monitors your pet’s response to ensure comfort and safety. Pain management is a key component of our post-operative and chronic care plans.

In cases of Poison & Toxin Treatment, we offer immediate care for ingestions (e.g., chocolate, lilies, human medications) or exposures to chemicals. Our team may induce vomiting, administer activated charcoal, or provide IV fluids to flush toxins. For severe cases, we coordinate with emergency clinics or poison control centers (e.g., ASPCA) for advanced support.

We provide Medical Grooming services for pets with skin conditions, mobility issues, or post-surgical needs. This includes Sanitary Shave (for urinary/anal gland support), Nail Trimming & Dremeling, and Anal Gland Expression. Our grooming is performed with care to avoid stress and is often recommended during wellness exams or chronic condition management.

We offer Anal Gland Expression to relieve discomfort or infections in your pet’s anal glands, which can cause scooting, licking, or pain. This service is performed during routine exams or as needed, and we provide guidance on home care or dietary adjustments to prevent future issues.

We offer Telemedicine Consultations for minor concerns, prescription refills, or follow-up care when an in-person visit isn’t necessary. These virtual visits allow you to discuss your pet’s health with our team, receive medical advice, or adjust treatment plans conveniently. Appointments are scheduled via our online platform.
