We asked Dr. Lannon about a case that’s stuck with her, and her answer was.... a completely routine wellness visit! A pup came in for a regular checkup, nothing out of the ordinary, until the bloodwork came back positive for leptospirosis. What made it stand out was how early it was caught. This pup wasn’t showing any symptoms yet, which is rare with leptospirosis.

Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection pets can pick up from from water (lakes, ponds - even dew drops in the back yard!) contaminated by wildlife urine. It can cause serious liver and kidney problems for our pets, and it can also be spread to people, too. That’s why the leptospirosis vaccine is part of our Wellness Care Plans. Keeping your pup protected is also one more way to keep your whole household healthy!

If you have questions about leptospirosis or what’s included in our Care Plans, ask us about it at your next visit! 🐾

Winston was so ready to play during his stay at Pet Quarters that he couldn’t keep all four paws on the ground! Seeing guests this happy to be here is the best part of our day. Our team loves getting to know each guest’s personality during their stay, and Winston made his crystal clear: he’s here to have fun! 🐾

Our Statesville and South Main lobbies have been full of some very festive visitors this week, and every costume made our day!

We want to see your festive pets too! If your pet is dressing up for Halloween today, share a picture in the comments so we can see. We’ll be watching for every pumpkin, superhero, and spooky bandana wearer in the Animal Hospital family! 🐾

Puppy wellness visits go a lot smoother with a little cheese involved! 🧀 Bo kept busy with his lick mat while Dr. Gaither and Bethy checked him over, and he couldn’t have been sweeter about it.

The first few months of having a puppy come with a handful of check-ins, and our Puppy Care Plan keeps all of your puppy's wellness milestones manageable with a simple monthly payment. Ask us about it at your pup’s next visit!

Today we’re highlighting Autumn, who just officially passed her boards and is now a Registered Veterinary Technician! She’s Fear Free certified, and surgery is one of her favorite areas to work in. She loves the challenge, excitement, and growth that come with hands-on patient care.

Autumn joined our team in 2024 as a Certified Veterinary Assistant, and this year she graduated from Gaston College and became an RVT. Before she was part of our team, Autumn was one of our clients. She and her parents trusted the Animal Hospital with their pets growing up, and that care is part of what inspired her to pursue veterinary medicine herself!

Outside of work, Autumn rides horses, hikes, and goes line dancing. Her crew at home includes four Australian Shepherds (Oscar, Oakley, Bella, and Bentley), an English Bulldog named Maggie, her Quarter Horse Levi, and a crested gecko named Squishy.

From client to RVT, we’re so proud to have you on the team Autumn!🐾

If your pet has come in for a technician appointment at our Statesville hospital, there’s a good chance Jess was the one taking care of them!

Jess has a true passion for helping patients feel at ease, and her patience shows in every visit. She also manages our technician appointment schedule, juggling a lot of moving pieces with an attention to detail that keeps everything running smoothly.

Jess earned her veterinary technician degree from Argosy University and is also certified as a Registered Lab Animal Technologist. She joined the AHS family in 2023 because of the quality of care we provide and the way our doctors and technicians communicate every day.

At home, Jess enjoys reading and time with her family, along with a small zoo of her own: four dogs, Mary, Woody, Kona, and Loger, who are all Huskies or German Shepherds, plus a cat named Spazzy Henry.

We’re so glad you're on our team, Jess! 🐾

Today we’re highlighting Jesse, who has a gift for making a visit feel a little lighter! Her humor shows up at the most unexpected moments, and her storytelling has made her a favorite with a lot of our clients.

Jesse always has her patients’ best interests at heart, and she loves connecting with families and helping them understand how to give their pets the best care at every stage of life. She is incredibly talented with connecting with pets and people, and providing the best care to the patients that come through our doors.

Jesse has been part of the Animal Hospital family since 2007. Like many on our team, she interned with us while in college and joined as an RVT after graduating from Gaston College.

Outside of work, Jesse enjoys reading, hiking, gardening, and time with her family. She has three dogs, Gus, Little Red, and Mate, a cat named Zena, and a flock of chickens.

Thank you for 19 years of hard work and good stories, Jesse! We're lucky to have you. 🐾

In 1986, Diane joined the Animal Hospital as an RVT. Forty years later, she’s the longest-serving member of our technician team!

Diane interned with us while studying at Central Carolina Technical College, where she was a member of the Alpha Theta Tau Honor Society, and joined the team after graduation because she loved “everything about veterinary medicine.”

Today, a big part of Diane’s work is paying it forward. She mentors the technician and assistant students who come through our hospital, making sure they get the training they need, and she’s a steady source of encouragement for our newer team members. She’s also our "Cytology Queen" when it comes to reading slides under the microscope, and she’s PennHIP certified.

Diane is a horse girl at heart and loves singing, dancing, and performing (and yes, sometimes that happens at work too). At home she has two dogs, Ripley and Stella, and two cats, Pandora and Hope.

Thank you for everything you’ve given this hospital, Diane! We're so lucky to have you on our team. 🐾

When your pet comes in for surgery, Austin is with them from check-in to discharge.

As our Lead Surgery Technician, Austin handles patient prep, anesthesia, assisting our doctors during procedures, recovery, and discharges. She’s known as the queen of dental radiographs, getting clear x-rays in record time so patients spend less time under anesthesia. She’s also PennHIP certified, which means she’s trained to perform the PennHIP diagnostic x-ray procedure!

Austin graduated with High Honors from Gaston College and chose the Animal Hospital because she wanted to use her degree and training at a higher level. She understands the trust families place in us when their pet has a procedure, and she wants every client to feel reassured in the care their pet is getting.

When she’s not in surgery, Austin is a mom who loves mud runs and 5Ks. She has two dogs, Sully and Maverick, plus an outdoor kitty named Annie.

We’re so grateful for you, Austin! 🐾
