Services
A native of Louisville, KY, Dr. Fulkerson completed her Bachelor of Science in Zoology and Biology at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She continued at The University of Tennessee to complete her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. After returning to Louisville, Dr. Fulkerson has practiced as both an associate and as a relief veterinarian.
At Stony Brook Animal Hospital, a thorough physical exam is one of the most important things we can do for your pet. We offer half-hour appointments so that we can establish a strong relationship with our patients and clients. Routine check-ups help our veterinarians get to know your pet; these visits are useful in helping spot potential medical problems before they become serious or life-threatening.
A healthy mouth is indicative of your pet's overall health. We offer standard dental cleanings for your pet, and encourage clients to take an active role in keeping their pet's teeth sparkling and healthy. Proper dental care can help prevent periodontal disease and other illnesses, which, left untreated, could cause more serious health problems.
Caring for a pet after surgery is sometimes intimidating for an owner. Stony Brook Animal Hospital can aid in the rehabilitation process by making sure the surgical site stays clean, instructing you on how to properly move your pet, assist you with nursing care, and discussing any limitations your pet may need during this critical time.
Having an exotic pet (like a ferret or rabbit) is a huge responsibility. These pets have specific requirements with respect to nutrition, housing and emotional needs. Stony Brook Animal Hospital can evaluate your pet's environment and make recommendations on how you can improve the quality of life for your exotic friend.

Requested I be consulted before anything done to my dog. Vet Agreed. Next thing I immediately hear dog screaming begging wailing in pain 10 minutes long. Sounded like my dog. It was. Vet had scraped infected ear excruciatingly painful traumatized dog and owner. Also was way $80 was 2x that. Dr Siegwald. Don't trust her judgment or reasoning. Vet was on wrong track til I explained dog had been swimming. Vet wanted to scrape BOTH ears and charge for both when only one was infected. Now that I think she must be scraped both ears WITHOUT CONSULTING ME. Also I asked to see specimen of bacteria instead

Dr. S takes the best care of my Pitbull babies and Dr. F is just as great-- amazing prices, great staff. The tech Megan is phenomenal-- front desk staff are really second to none and their office dog, Lemon, is pretty dang cute as well! Office is very clean and in a great location! Always prompt on responses when I have questions, as well! We absolutely love being apart of the SBAH family-- upon becoming a patient we even received a HAND WRITTEN card... Fabulous!

Amazing vet hospital and so kind. I came here for a second opinion on my 14 year old Golden, Otis.
He had a nasty fatty tumor on his chest that my regular vet had said was inoperable.
Dr. Fulkerson was so kind and caring. She did everything she could for us without suggesting anything unnecessary or any procedures that wouldn't be in our best interest.
Unfortunately Otis lost his battle ultimately, but Stony Brook did everything they could to make his last weeks comfortable.
I greatly appreciated all the time Dr. Fulkerson took to explain every going on and what options we had.

Great service, friendly staff. Dr. Fulkerson is very patient and extremely willing to answer any questions, no matter how basic. I've spent 40+ minutes on one call just getting answers and feedback, never felt rushed or urged off the call. Super nice staff. Curb side care right now, but that doesn't diminish the level of service and thought.

Every animal friend of ours has been very well taken care of at Stony Brook Animal Hospital for over a decade (cats, dogs, even a hedgehog). Dr. Fulkerson, Dr. Siegwald, and the entire vet tech team have been professional, thorough, and so caring towards all of our fur family. If you're looking for a vet for life, you've found it. Trust your babies to Stony Brook Animal Hospital, and you can have the peace of mind that your family will receive the best treatment and preventative veterinary care that Louisville has to offer!

An incredible vet. Dr. Fulkerson is understanding and compassionate. It’s pricy for xrays and tests, but its so so worth it. I had an awful experience at Vet Associates Stonefield and this hospital was so reassuring. My snake ended up passing at absolutely no fault of the vet, he had an incurable disease and passed naturally. They sent me a card, hand signed by all staff that, if I’m being completely honest, made me cry. I’ll absolutely come back again

My daughter brought her bearded dragon in because it was having some issues. The vet acted like she was very knowledgeable about Beardies but she didn't even know she was a HE!! My daughter paid quite a bit of money and learned nothing she didn't already know. We were given a print out to tell us how to take care of the dragon...things that we told her we knew. She didn't listen and basically tortured the poor thing by doing things that weren't necessary. We took him to another vet and found out the problem was pinworms. Paid an enormous amount for a minimum of knowledge. BE WARY !!!!

We were pleased with our visit. They were very gentle with my boy. Yes they do require a deposit if you’ve never been there before. That was off putting at first but I understand why they do it. The amount is applied to your bill so it’s not like they keep it.
Office was clean and quiet
Staff was friendly and understanding
Prices are pretty standard
We will be back for sure!
