Sheila Palmer DVM manages veterinary services at Westside Veterinary Hospital in Mobile by juggling medical priorities with caregiver stamina to support Alabama communities. Staff members begin each visit by examining pacing patterns, vocal sounds, bodily postures, and eye movements to determine their approach. Physical evaluations involve checking hydration status along with coat condition, oral health, core stability, limb movement, and balance control. Through structured conversation owners record their observations by examining recent social behavior alongside appetite changes and noise sensitivity while also noting sleep disruptions. Westside Veterinary Hospital: Palmer Sheila Dvm delivers an extensive range of services including diagnostics and preventive screenings alongside dental work minor procedures post-op support and chronic condition tracking. The adjustment of staging depends on the number of pets in the home combined with the caregiver's available time while also considering the need for emotional processing after difficult visits. Families can perform at-home follow-ups with reduced confusion through the use of detailed instructions and visual diagrams. Schedules are fluid. Animal caretakers receive recommendations to alter their strategies based on the pet's adaptation progress. The implementation of optional check-ins combined with asynchronous updates effectively reduces unnecessary stress while maintaining healthcare progress. Support consists of printed summaries communication tiering and pain behavior maps which help determine subsequent actions. Westside Veterinary Hospital: Palmer Sheila Dvm delivers veterinary care throughout Mobile and Alabama that aligns with household capacities by respecting animal cues alongside caregiver circumstances in each encounter.

We absolutely love Dr. Palmer and everyone who works at Westside. Over the weekend, our dog Willow got very sick and we had to take her to Medvet late at night to be seen. They kept Willow overnight and we brought her home yesterday. This morning before I had the chance to call and schedule a followup appointment, they called to check on Willow and to get an update on her. I am so grateful for them, their love of animals, the attention that they give to our Willow, and the sincerity they show when they are concerned. It is very rare these days! Read Less

I am beyond impressed with this veterinary hospital! We are new to the area and our canine son's health is of the utmost importance! We have utilized veterinary services in Denver and Southwest Montana, both experiences were average with above average costs. Our dog has major skin allergies and it has been quite a journey trying to find a solution that is effective. We have spent a lot of money in this endeavor and nothing ever seems to work...UNTIL NOW! The Veterinarian at Westside was super knowledgeable about the topic, and she was able to solve the issue quickly and in a very cost-effective manner! She was also up to date on the latest treatments and medications - we were so impressed. It's worth noting that we also scheduled an appointment to have our dog's teeth cleaned in which he is put under. We do this every few years so he will live longer (the breed is known for teeth problems). At Westside, the procedure is half the price we have paid in the past! Not only that, but on the day of the appointment, the Veterinarian checked him out and told us that a teeth cleaning was not necessary at this time. This place rocks!! Bottom line: top notch care, knowledgeable staff and reasonable prices! Highly recommend! Read Less

I took him to Auburn University and was told he is perfectly healthy and was only a carrier of the virus. So glad I didn't listen and let them kill my Garebear!!! Read Less
