Dr. Patrick Hitchcock opened Lavonia Animal Hospital on August 12, 1974, and he has continued to practice veterinary medicine in the same location for over 42 years. While established as a predominantly large animal hospital, over the years the practice has evolved, and we are now a predominantly small animal hospital. We continue to do routine regulatory work for our large animal clients, although we no longer go out on farm calls. We also see a mixture of exotic animals (snakes, rabbits, rodents, and birds), and we are licensed to rehabilitate wild animals.
