Pet theme 2
At East Point Animal Clinic, we understand that sheep and goats are more than just livestock—they’re companions, fiber producers, and essential members of your small farm or homestead. Whether you raise them for milk, wool, or as pets, our veterinary team is dedicated to keeping your herd healthy with expert, compassionate care. We specialize in working with small-scale keepers, offering tailored services to meet the unique needs of backyard and hobby farm flocks.


Wellness Exams & Preventive Care
Routine check-ups are key to maintaining a healthy herd. Our wellness exams include full-body assessments, parasite screenings, hoof evaluations, and nutritional consultations. We also provide vaccination programs and deworming strategies to protect against common diseases such as caseous lymphadenitis (CL), enterotoxemia, and respiratory infections.

Parasite Management & Hoof Care
Internal and external parasites can be a major concern for sheep and goats. We offer comprehensive parasite control programs, including fecal testing, targeted deworming plans, and management strategies to reduce parasite resistance. Proper hoof care is also essential for preventing lameness, and we provide hoof trimming services, as well as treatment for common issues like foot rot and abscesses.

Reproductive & Neonatal Care
Whether you're breeding for milk production or expanding your flock, we offer reproductive health services, including pregnancy checks, kidding and lambing support, and care for newborns. We also diagnose and treat reproductive complications such as dystocia (difficult birth) and metabolic disorders like pregnancy toxemia.

Sick Animal Diagnosis & Treatment
Goats and sheep are naturally hardy but can become seriously ill if health concerns aren’t addressed early. We diagnose and treat a range of conditions, including respiratory diseases, urinary blockages, nutritional deficiencies, and joint issues. Our team is skilled in providing supportive care, pain management, and treatment plans to help your animals recover.

Nutritional Guidance & Herd Management
Proper nutrition is vital for preventing illness and ensuring optimal growth, milk production, and fiber quality. We offer dietary consultations to help balance forage, grain, and mineral intake for all life stages. We also advise on herd management practices, including shelter design, biosecurity, and rotational grazing to improve overall herd health.

Emergency & End-of-Life Care
When unexpected health concerns arise, we are here to provide prompt emergency care for injuries, illness, and difficult births. We also offer compassionate end-of-life care and euthanasia services when needed, ensuring your animals are treated with dignity and kindness.

At East Point Animal Clinic, we are dedicated to helping small-scale goat and sheep owners provide the best possible care for their herds. Whether you need routine check-ups, health advice, or urgent veterinary attention, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
