Dr. Pat Hitchcock opened Lavonia Animal Hospital on August 12, 1974, and he has continued to practice veterinary medicine in the same location for over 39 years. While begun as a predominantly large animal practice, over the years the practice has undergone growth and change, and we are now a predominantly small animal hospital. We continue to do routine regulatory large animal work here at the cl
inic, although we no longer travel out on farm calls. We also see a mixture of exotic animals (snakes, rabbits, rodents, and birds), and are licensed to rehabilitate wild animals. Each year we treat a large number of injured and/or orphaned wildlife, including raptors (hawks, owls, and other birds of prey), squirrels, rabbits, and deer. About Our Staff
Dr. Hitchcock continues to practice, and in 1998, Dr. Jason Macomson joined the practice as an associate veterinarian. Our reception staff includes Kim Watson and Mary Michel Ferguson.
