Lineberger Veterinary Hospital partners with you to keep your furry family happy & healthy. Our Gastonia veterinarians have served the community since 1989. Here, we treat pets like family. We understand how important your companion is to you - because they're there for you through the thick and thin of life, with a wagging tail or a happy purr, and unconditional love.
Our goal is to be your partner in taking care of your pet's physical and mental wellbeing, so you can enjoy many happy years together. So, whether your pet needs a checkup with a doctor. My name is Edward M. Lineberger, DVM and I am the Owner and Veterinarian at Lineberger Veterinary Hospital. I graduated from North Carolina State University with a B.S. in Animal Science and then obtained my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1988 also from NCSU.
I have worked here since 1988 with Dr. Reed in the old hospital, then I bought the clinic in 1990, and built the new building in 2000. I enjoy being the veterinarian at LVH because I am able to help people and their family members.

For that reason, diagnostic tests may be recommended for both well pets, and for pets who are ill.
For ill pets, diagnostic tests can help get to the root of the problem more quickly - and thus, get your pet treated and back to normal health faster and more efficiently.
The thing about sick pets is, they often have "non-specific" symptoms.
That means that something like vomiting could be caused by dozens of different factors, including: eating something that upset their stomach, eating something poisonous, a parasite, an infection, a hormonal condition, or a problem with the liver or kidneys.

Often, it can be surprisingly tricky to tell whether or not your furry family member is in pain.
That's because dogs and cats tend to not complain like humans do, and instead, try to mask their pain (at least until it gets worse).
Adding non-slip surfaces - this is especially helpful for dogs whose legs slide out from under them on wood or tile floors.
Installing steps or ramps - to help arthritic pets get onto the bed or other furniture, or into the car.
Adding a cushy pet bed or mattress - this may be more comfortable for pets with sore joints to sleep on.

If your furry best friend gets a wound - such as a bite, scrape, cut, or burn - you'll want them to be healed as quickly as possible, and comfortable during the healing process.
For more routine wounds - like minor cuts and scrapes, broken toenails, or hot spots, for example - you'll still want to seek care as soon as possible.
That helps to ensure your pet won't make the wound worse - or get an infection - by licking or scratching it.
If it's not possible to bring your pet in right away, ask us what to do in the meantime, to help keep the wound clean and guarded until your appointment.
