  The doctors and staff are practical down-to-earth people striving to solve any problem you might experience with your pet.  The doctors strive to spend the time to get to know you and your pet(s) because we know the better we know you the better we'll solve the problem.  The veterinarians are experts at discovering your needs and limitations, integrating your needs into the big picture and finding a solution to solve your difficulties with your friend in a manner you'll find pleasing.   We don't make our trade by price-cutting, but it has to be said in the same breath that we are far from the most expensive.  We are a double bargain however, because the experience and skill we bring to bear, eliminates a lot of unnecessary testing in the sick animal.  (Unnecessary testing has become the big cash cow for many veterinary establishments [see the link to "Uncle Doc "]).  Experience and uncommon skill eliminates the need for many referrals to "specialists".  The doctors at County Line insist on maintaining a full in-house diagnostic laboratory so that testing may be completed in a matter of hours instead of overnight or days as is the case when outside laboratory services are utilized.  To assure the accuracy of the tests, three med techs are employed to perform the testing.  Further, County Line Animal Hospital is one of only a handful of veterinary hospitals in the world, which participates in an outside quality assurance program provided by the Veterinary Laboratory Association (of which Dr. Kilburn has been a charter member, vice president and member of the board of directors since the inception of the organization). This sort of quality assurance program is mandatory in human medicine, but voluntary in veterinary medicine.  We believe it is mandatory for our first rate animal hospital to assure us that the test results we get are always accurate.

  We are highly skilled in diagnostics and are proficient with x-rays and ultrasonography as well as echocardiography. We are very skilled soft tissue surgeons, orthopedic surgeons -a special love (including arthroscopy and the new state of the art repair for the torn anterior cruciate ligament of the knee, the TPLO  procedure, as well as certification to perform the superior PennHip x-ray procedure for the prediction of hip dysplasia.).  We're fond of minimally invasive surgery employing endoscopy whenever feasible for surgical procedures and advanced diagnostics.  We are proficient animal dentists, including endodontics (such as root canals) to preserve and save injured and fractured teeth.

  The list of our skills is, indeed, quite long.  If you've a question of our capabilities, we'll be tickled to share with you anything you'd like to know.
