Coal Mountain Animal Hospital, Inc. offers complete veterinary services including

We recommend yearly exams and vaccine boosters for both our feline and canine patients. Yearly exams can alert owners to ear, dental, heart, or other problems previously unrecognized.

Yearly screenings for heartworm and internal parasite infestations are also performed on our canine patients.

We believe all dogs should be receiving monthly heartworm preventative since heartworm disease is so prevalent in Georgia.

Heartworms are long, thin worms that grow in the heart and eventually cause heart failure. Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes so no dog is safe. Please remember your companion's monthly preventative!

Heartworm prevention is also available for cats. Cats have a greater natural resistance to heartworm disease. Compared to dogs, we diagnose heartworm in cats much less frequently. However, heartworm disease in cats is nearly always fatal and there is no treatment as there is in dogs. My cats Maney, Wiggles, Brandy, and Salt always get their monthly prevention.

We use all non-adjuvanted feline vaccines for the safety of our feline patients. These vaccines have a much lower chance of side effects.

We use Isoflurane anesthesia (gas anesthesia) which is considered the safest form of general anesthesia. Recovery is much quicker from Isoflurane than from injectable anesthesia. We recommend pre-anesthesia blood screening to assure your pet is in good health prior to any surgery.

We perform dental cleanings using ultrasonic water jet equipment. Dental cleanings require the use of anesthesia. For older pets we require pre-anesthesia blood tests to assure your pet is in healthy condition prior to anesthesia.
