Services
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams at Fulton County Veterinary Clinic establish health baselines through physical assessments, lab work, and tailored care recommendations. These visits focus on preventative care, vaccination updates, and early detection of potential issues like dental disease or diabetes. Our team helps pet owners understand nutrition, behavior, and age-specific needs to maintain long-term health and vitality.
Laser Surgery
Our CO2 surgical laser offers minimally invasive options for procedures like soft palate corrections, mass removals, and spay/neuter operations. This technology reduces bleeding, swelling, and post-op pain while improving recovery times for dogs, cats, and small mammals. We specialize in treating brachycephalic breeds and complex cases requiring precision.
Exotic Pet Care
Fulton County Veterinary Clinic treats exotic pets including birds, reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals like hedgehogs. Services cover wellness checks, diagnostic testing, surgical interventions, and species-specific nutrition counseling. Our team addresses unique health concerns for pocket pets through tailored care plans and preventive strategies.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services for dogs and cats include oral exams, scaling, polishing, and extractions performed under anesthesia. We use digital imaging to detect hidden periodontal issues affecting heart and kidney health. Rabbit and guinea pig owners receive teeth-trimming services to prevent overgrowth and related complications.
Urgent Care
Urgent care addresses non-life-threatening conditions like ear infections, allergies, and minor injuries. We prioritize same-day visits for pets needing prompt attention while maintaining a calm environment to reduce stress. Our staff communicates clear treatment plans and follow-up care instructions during these critical situations.
