Southern Paws Animal Medical Center

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams during every wellness visit, including evaluations for deformities, growths, pain, mobility issues, and overall health. Our veterinarians assess your pet’s condition to detect early signs of illness or discomfort while discussing any concerns you may have about their behavior or lifestyle.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages tailored to young pets, including early health assessments (starting at ~6 weeks), vaccinations, parasite prevention, and guidance on care practices like tooth brushing and nutrition. These packages establish a baseline for lifelong health monitoring.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on aging pets (7+ years), addressing age-related issues such as mobility challenges, appetite changes, and failing eyesight. We provide routine blood work, adjusted treatment plans, and personalized care to ensure a high quality of life during their golden years.

We administer Core Vaccinations like Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo as part of our preventive care programs. These vaccines are essential for protecting pets from serious, often life-threatening diseases and are typically included in wellness visits or vaccination appointments.

We provide Heartworm Testing & Prevention services, including annual screenings and year-round preventive medications. Even indoor cats are at risk, so we recommend consistent protection to safeguard your pet from this potentially fatal parasitic disease.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention programs include evaluations to determine the best medication (oral tablets, spot-on treatments, collars, or sprays) for your pet’s lifestyle. We also advise on home flea control and address infestations to protect pets from allergies, tapeworms, and tick-borne diseases like Lyme.

We offer Microchipping & Registration as a permanent form of pet identification. The quick procedure involves injecting a tiny chip under the skin (between shoulder blades), and we provide guidance on registering the microchip with your contact information to ensure lost pets can be reunited with you.

Our Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management services help pet owners select appropriate diets for all life stages (growth, pregnancy, senior years) and medical conditions like kidney disease or diabetes. We assist with interpreting pet food labels, calorie needs, and weight goals to optimize your pet’s health.

While not explicitly detailed on the page, we infer that Parasite Deworming is part of our preventive care, including treatments for intestinal parasites like tapeworms (often transmitted by fleas). We recommend deworming as part of routine wellness or parasite prevention programs.

We perform In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, to monitor your pet’s health during wellness visits or diagnostic evaluations. These tests help detect early signs of disease, assess organ function, and guide treatment plans for senior pets or those with chronic conditions.

Our clinic provides Digital X-Rays as part of our in-house diagnostics. These imaging services help diagnose issues like fractures, dental disease, heart/lung conditions, and abdominal abnormalities, ensuring accurate and timely treatment for your pet.

As part of our dental services, we perform Dental X-Rays to detect hidden issues like root infections, tooth fractures, or oral tumors. These radiographs are essential for comprehensive dental evaluations and treatment planning.

We provide Spay & Neuter Surgery as routine procedures to prevent unwanted litters, reduce health risks (e.g., mammary cancer in females or testicular cancer in males), and manage behavioral issues. Our surgical team ensures safe anesthesia, monitoring, and post-operative care for a smooth recovery.

We provide Emergency Stabilization services for critical cases, including trauma, poisoning, or severe illness. Our goal is to quickly assess and treat life-threatening conditions (e.g., IV fluids, oxygen therapy) before further diagnostic testing or hospitalization.

For pets requiring intensive care, we offer Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring. Our team provides round-the-clock observation, IV fluids, pain management, and specialized treatments to ensure stability during recovery from surgery or illness.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy for dehydration, shock, kidney disease, or post-surgical support. Fluids are tailored to your pet’s condition, with continuous monitoring to maintain hydration and organ function during treatment.

Our Pain Management services include pre- and post-operative pain control, chronic condition management (e.g., arthritis), and personalized medication plans. We prioritize your pet’s comfort while minimizing side effects to ensure a smooth recovery.

We treat Poison & Toxin exposures with emergency protocols, including induced vomiting (when safe), IV fluids, and supportive care. Early intervention is critical, so we advise pet owners on common household toxins (e.g., chocolate, lilies) and first-aid steps.

We provide Medical Grooming services such as sanitary shaves, nail trimming, and medicated baths for pets with skin conditions or mobility issues. These procedures are performed with care to ensure comfort and address specific health needs.

As part of our preventive and medical grooming services, we offer Anal Gland Expression to relieve discomfort or infections in pets prone to impacted anal glands. This procedure is typically performed during wellness exams or when symptoms like scooting or licking are observed.
