Preventive Care

Dental Care
Vaccination
Millions of pets are lost each year. Some are found and unfortunately, some are lost forever. You can protect your dog or cat from this fate by having a permanent microchip id implanted in your pet. The microchip is a tiny form of computerized identification about the size of a grain of rice that can be permanently placed under a pet’s skin. It is a painless procedure and is as easy as a vaccination, but for convenience, it can be implanted while your pet is under anesthesia for his/her neuter/spay. The microchip is a small, sterile transponder that contains a unique id code capable of being read by a compatible scanner. Scanners are used by animal agencies, humane societies and veterinarians throughout the United States. Our scanner will provide Avid Microchip id numbers, The microchip’s biocompatible material is extremely safe for your pet. The microchip is a passive device. It requires no battery and remains inactive until it is scanned. How do recoveries take place? Once the microchip is in place, it can be read by a scanner that will identify the chip number, thereby revealing the necessary information to contact the owner and bring your pet home safely, provided you have registered with the recovery service. The database is maintained and accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and you are notified as soon as your pet’s id is called into the 24 hour recovery service. For more information talk to your veterinarian or www. Homeagain.com
Comprehensive Examination
Alton Main Animal Hospital requires all surgical patients be placed on IV (intravenous) fluids during their anesthetic procedure. This helps maintain their blood pressure, since each individual is affected differently by different anesthesia types. It also helps to minimize any compromise to your pet’s liver and kidneys, since they are the two organs that process the anesthesia. Your pet must have had a physical exam with our veterinarian within the last 6 months, or we can do same day physicals. If your pet is less than 7 years old we recommend pre-anesthetic labwork testing. This will inform us of your pet’s kidney and liver functions. It could change our anesthetic protocols or even delay the surgery, if necessary. If they are 7 years or older, we require a more comprehensive labwork, which should be done a minimum of 2 days to a maximum of 6 months before the surgical procedure. All of our surgical patients should have food withheld from 10 pm the night before the surgery. It is okay to allow your pet to have water until he/she is brought to Alton Main Animal Hospital the morning of the surgery. We request your pet be admitted between 7 am and 8 am, allowing us time to prep for surgery (i.e. give preanesthetic injections to calm them and control pain, and prepping the surgical site), perform the surgery, and for the patient to be fully recovered for when you pick up, typically between 3 pm and 5:30 pm

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Beginning around age 7 your pet enters his/her senior years. Health care for your older pet goes beyond regular vaccinations, parasite control, dental cleanings, regular exercise and good nutrition. We recommend that you bring your pet in for physical exams and labwork more often now. Your dog and cat ages 5 to 7 years for every one of yours. This suggests that health problems can progress 5 to 7 times faster. Our senior health care program seeks to promote health and prevent, or at least slow, disease in older pets by focusing on the body systems that are most affected by aging. We have developed several low cost senior wellness programs to help you with the necessary information. With appropriate care and nutrition your pet’s senior years can be a healthy and happy time
Pain Management

Chronic Condition Treatment

Kidney Disease Treatment
Dr Shim is now the only Vet in Orange Cnty that I'd trust with the care of my animals. He is knowledgable, gentle, caring, and concerned with not only the health of my cats but also with the cost of caring for them. He and his team are excellent practictioners. I now take my pets to Alton Main for their annual shot regimens, their baths, flea treatments, food, and emergency care. Recently, one of my older cats was suffering from the lingering effects of a kidney disease. Dr Shim ran a series of tests that uncovered an additional problem - and the animal is now receiving treatment for a thyroid condition that had gone undetected by their former Vet. The prognosis for her recovery is good. I am very grateful for Dr Shim's attention to details and his insistence on thoroughness.

Wound and Fracture Care

Veterinary Surgery
We offer surgical services for soft tissue procedures such as ovariohysterectomy (spay), orchidectomy (neuter), mass/growth excisions, abscess/wound debridement, urolithiasis (bladder stone removal), and exploratory surgeries (such as foreign body blockage). We use the safest most recently available anesthetics. During surgery and procedures requiring anesthesia, your pet’s heart rate, pulse, respiration and oxygen levels are monitored closely by a pulse oximeter monitor which notifies us immediately of anything unusual. It’s our job to ensure that your pet can properly process and then eliminate the anesthetic he or she is given. Before we perform any procedure requiring anesthesia, we run tests to confirm that your pet’s organs are functioning properly and to reveal any hidden health conditions that could put your pet at risk.

Laboratory Services
Our on-site laboratory includes a Vetscan which allows us to perform blood chemistries (such as liver and kidney functions) for immediate reviewing. We also have a CBC machine which will provide us with a CBC (complete blood count) providing us information on red blood cell counts, white blood cell counts and platelets.

General Pet Care

Senior Pet Care
Since 1986, Santa Ana, California area has known Alton Main Animal Hospital as the place for dedicated care for the other family memeber. We try to approach every case with every patient as if that patient were our own pet. We also believe that prevention of disease is far better than treatment of a disease that could have been prevented. Therefore, we emphasize puppy and kitten care programs, annual exams, wellness blood profiles, and appropriately scheduled vaccines and parasite control. We have a well-equipped surgery suite for general, orthopedic, and cosmetic procedures, with emphasis on pain prevention and control. We offer reasonably priced spays and neuters that include multi-system anesthetic monitoring, absorbable sutures, and post operative pain management. We also Emphasize good dental health for middle-aged and senior pets.
