🐾Exciting News for Canine Health in Upstate SC🐾

We are proud to be the only veterinary internal medicine service in the upstate SC and western NC to offer percutaneous ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation of parathyroid nodules to treat canine hyperparathyroidism. This cutting edge, minimally invasive procedure targets the overactive parathyroid gland, offering a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgery with less recovery time. Research shows that ethanol ablation of parathyroid nodules achieved successful resolution of hypercalcemia in 95% of dogs with primary hyperparathyroidism.

Here, Dr. Aldridge can be seen treating “Tater” at River Oak Vet. 🐾🐕‍🦺

Please contact us via phone or email to determine if your patient is a good candidate for ethanol ablation of the parathyroid gland.

Meet Dr. Aldridge! Our owner and Small Animal Internal Medicine Specialist.

Dr. Aldridge obtained his veterinary degree from the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!), graduating with honors. He then completed a rotating internship at LSU (Geaux Tigers!), followed by a dual residency and masters program at Auburn University (War Eagle!). He has been board certified in internal medicine for over a decade and practicing in the Upstate area for the last six years. During his career he has developed a love of ultrasounds and working with the veterinarians and people of our community–both of which have driven him to start Sojourn Vet.
He and his wife, Dr. Mollie Mesman (local veterinary dermatologist) share four children, two dogs, two cats, and six chickens. In his spare time you can find him enjoying everything this wonderful area has to offer and trying to make time for yoga, gardening, and that last unfinished project around the house.
