Animal Hospitals near Blountville

“I brought my cat to Airport Pet Emergency Clinic due to a urinary obstruction that developed after sedation at a general practice. Dr. Dolan was truly outstanding.

He clearly explained two treatment options and thoughtfully considered that my cat is older and had been recently sedated. I initially chose the more conservative option, but when my cat needed to return for catheterization under sedation, Dr. Dolan was excellent during both procedures. His communication was clear, calm, and honest, and I genuinely felt that his recommendations were centered on my cat’s welfare.

After stabilization, my cat—while catheterized—was transferred to a 24-hour emergency clinic in Asheville, where he was hospitalized for three days. I’m incredibly grateful to this practice for stabilizing him and setting him up for the care he needed next.

For an emergency hospital, the cost was also very reasonable. I sincerely hope I won’t need emergency services again, but if I do, I would absolutely return here.“

“They removed a mass from my American Bulldog. They have taken good care of him so far. They gave him enough medicine to keep him asleep today and antibiotics & pain medicine for several days. Im glad I brought him to East Tennessee Veterinary hospital. They seem to truly care and not just looking to bill you for whatever they can. Im very grateful for the care they provided for my dog. He goes back in 2 weeks.“

“I have a cat with chronic urinary issues and they always take good care of him. I've never had an issue getting a same day appointment which is huge for us since his issues are often suddenly emergent. When we do go, the veterinarian sees us within a few minutes of arrival. They really listen and take into consideration the owner's judgment and the animal's medical history. We commute almost 40 minutes to come here from Johnson City and its well worth it. Their pricing is reasonable and they accept care credit which often offers no interest financing for more expensive bills which is another big plus.“

“In honor of National French Bulldog Day, I wanted to share my baby’s story.

August entailed a limp. What felt small at first quickly became overwhelming. Zeus was taken to the vet and diagnosed with luxating patella, and surgery was scheduled about a month out. During that waiting period, his condition continued to worsen.

September entailed devastating clarity. At his scheduled surgical appointment, it was discovered that Zeus did not have luxating patellas after all. We were then referred to the University of Tennessee Veterinary Medical Center, where they performed extensive testing and still couldn’t find a definitive cause. During this time, Zeus lost the ability to walk entirely and began army crawling everywhere he went. He was placed on strict cage rest, was hardly active, and had to be hand-fed.

October entailed cautious hope. UT started Zeus on a new medication that showed promising results for the first couple of weeks. However, after his recheck, the medication was stopped so additional testing could be done, and he quickly went downhill again.

November entailed desperation turning into determination. Zeus was once again unable to walk at all. That’s when we began seeing a veterinarian for acupuncture and laser therapy—truly one of the best decisions we could have ever made for him.

December entailed small victories. We began to see improvements—Zeus was able to stand and take short, inconsistent steps. It wasn’t much, but it was progress, and it gave us hope that we were finally on the right path.

January entailed answered prayers. Zeus is now walking on his own, standing the majority of the time, and able to lift himself up independently. He still has a long road ahead, but we are so grateful for the amazing Dr. Stone and vet technicians at Appalachian Animal Hospital who have supported us, listen to us, and made us feel like family from our first visit in November.“
