The Animal Medical Center of the Lowcountry's Surgical Difference
At the Animal Medical Center of the Lowcountry, we are leaders in the field of veterinary surgery. Our surgeons and staff strive to provide your family members with a level of care that far exceeds the “generally acceptable level of care”. Dr Guilloud has been using the laser for over 10 years which results in a much better outcome for your pet. We strive to reduce the possible negative outcomes through advanced monitoring equipment, highly trained surgical nurses, pre-anesthetic bloodwork, human grade sutures and surgical supplies, IV fluids and pain management. Our doctors and staff have been trained on managing a patients level of pain.
When it comes time for your pets’ surgery their medical history and the pre-anesthetic bloodwork performed can be invaluable to the Veterinarian. We do not practice “one size fits all” anesthesia. Anesthesia is catered to and around your pets’ specific needs, problems or breed characteristics. We look at the whole animal and try to consider what other problems we can address to reduce the likelihood of having to undergo further procedures.
Anesthetic records and blood work become an invaluable part of your pets’ medical history. The base line bloodwork will be used to compare against future diagnostics as they age or develop sicknesses. Their response to anesthetic medications will assist in the planning of further treatment protocols.
General Medicine and Services
Examinations – At Animal Medical Center of the Lowcountry, we offer comprehensive examinations that help evaluate the overall health of your pet. Regular physical examinations can detect problems in their early stages, before they become serious illnesses requiring prolonged treatment. Preventative medicine is the easiest, least expensive and most important way to keep your pet healthy. Early detection ensures prompt action that may solve the problem before serious consequences occur.
Vaccines – Immunizations are a crucial part of your pet’s health care. Some immunizations are recommended yearly while others are given every three years. Usually administered during an annual exam, we work with you to develop an individual vaccine protocol that best suits your pet’s needs.
Microchip Identification – This unique form of identification is an easy, yet permanent way to bring your pet home quickly should he / she become lost. The microchip is a tiny electronic device, about the size and shape of a grain of rice. It is implanted beneath your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades, and stays there for his / her entire life. This procedure is as easy and as painless as a vaccination.
Each microchip has a unique number. This number, along with information about the owner and pet, are added to a national pet registry. Most veterinary hospitals and animal shelters have electronic scanners for detecting and reading these implanted microchips. If a lost pet is found and a microchip is scanned it is easy for you to be contacted.
Nutritional Counseling – Proper diet is an important part of your pet’s health. Should your pet need a new diet due to health concerns or you are just looking for a healthy alternative to your current brand, we offer individual consultations and nutritional plans to help keep your pet healthy.
Behavior Counseling – Pets often show illness or anxiety through improper or changed behavior. Let our staff help you determine what is appropriate behavior and what you can do to change inappropriate behavior.
Dermatology – Hair loss and constant scratching can indicate fleas, food allergies or other more serious skin conditions. We provide specialized dermatological services to all of our patients including allergy testing and desensitization treatments.
Dentistry – Clean teeth and healthy gums are essential to your pet’s health. Infections are more common in the mouth because they can go undetected for long periods of time. Our veterinary staff regularly performs oral exams, cleanings and periodontal care as part of our comprehensive health care goals.
Bad breath – one of the first signs of dental disease is a yellowish-brown crust of plaque on the teeth near the gum line
Red and swollen gums. Pain or bleeding when your pet eats or when the mouth or gums are touched. Decreased appetite or difficulty eating. Loose or missing teeth
Dental problems, if left untreated, can often lead to larger systemic problems in your pet due to oral bacteria entering the blood stream and damaging the kidneys, heart and liver.
Baths and Nail Trims – Hygiene is important. We gladly offer baths and nail trims to our patients. We do not provide complete grooming services.
