Preventive Care

Dental Care
The best way to ensure your pet's oral health is to have regular cleanings at our office. Discuss how often you ought to come in as well as a home hygiene regimen with your vet. This will also prevent dental issues from progressing to larger (and potentially deadly) internal issues, such as dysfunction or disease in the heart, kidneys, liver, or lungs.
Vaccination
Regular vaccinations and examinations will help keep your pet healthy and happy. Your veterinarian will be able to advise you of the frequency that your pet should be examined, but most recommend either annual or six-monthly visits. This is because pets age an average of 7 times faster than humans and so by the time they reach 6/7 years old they are considered middle-aged. Larger breeds of dogs are often considered to be seniors by the time they reach 8.
Veterinary Ophthalmology
Dr. Sandra Kim has been practicing veterinary medicine since June 1999 and is the medical director of Lomita Pet Hospital. She graduated from the University of Minnesota, College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduation, she completed a one year rotating internship at Animal Specialty Group in Los Angeles, California. During her internship she was able to work with veterinary specialists in the fields of internal medicine, surgery, oncology, neurology and ophthalmology. She studied Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine at the Chi Institute in Reddick, Florida. It was through the Institute that she received her certification as a veterinary acupuncturist and veterinary food therapist. In April of 2013, she was fortunate to have been invited to visit the Humane Center for Animal Welfare in Amman, Jordan, where she took part in a training veterinarians and veterinary students. Because of her training in both western and eastern medicine, she feels that she can provide her clients and their pets even better care.
Behavioral Counseling
Temperament: American bulldogs make extremely loyal pets which display strong protective instincts towards their families. Highly alert and great with children, they are sociable animals that need to know their place in the family hierarchy. A firm pack leader, good socialization from a young age and obedience training will make them easier to handle.
Nutritional Counseling
Some of the typical emotional grief responses you may experience include intense tearfulness, insomnia, failure to accept loss, denial, shock, loss of appetite, disorientation, anger, guilt, isolation, nausea, thinking that you can see/hear your pet, emotional numbness, depression and reliving your final moments with your pet.
Comprehensive Examination
Physical examination You will also be asked to provide a comprehensive history of the health of your pet and the progression of any symptoms that they have displayed. You may also be asked to provide samples of other bodily fluids.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Fecal testing. This allows the veterinarian to check for the presence of internal parasites such as hookworms, roundworms and whipworms.
Behavioral Disorder Treatment
Also known as CDV, Canine Distemper is a highly contagious viral illness that can be debilitating and even fatal. It not only affects dogs but can also be seen in certain species of wildlife including foxes, skunks and wolves. Puppies and non-immunized dogs are most commonly affected, but pets on immune-suppressants may also be vulnerable.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
A bacteria-based disease usually spread by infected water. It causes fever, lethargy, vomiting, bloody diarrhea and jaundice in your pet. Severe infections can cause organ failure and death. It can be treated by antibiotics but the bacteria can be carried for months afterwards and their urine will remain a health hazard to both other animals and humans. Leptospirosis in humans can be fatal.
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
It is not uncommon to be able to spot fleas jumping off and on your pet’s body, but they are very small and very fast. They are flat-bodied, dark brown or black in color (unless they are full of blood in which case they can be lighter) and usually less than an eighth of an inch big. However, typical behavioral symptoms include restlessness, and chewing, scratching or licking certain parts of his body more often than usual. If you suspect that your dog or cat has fleas, you can check his skin and coat for signs of them or ‘flea dirt’ which looks like regular dirt but is actually flea faeces. If you aren’t sure if it is actual dirt rather than flea dirt, put some on a paper towel and add some water. If it is flea dirt, then it will turn a reddish brown as it will contain blood that the flea has ingested and then excreted.
Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
The CDV virus is mainly transmitted through direct contact with an infected animal via bodily fluids such as saliva from coughs or sneezes. Inhalation is the most common way it enters a new dogs system. It attacks the respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system.
Injury Treatment

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
Leptospirosis If your dog is going to spending time in kennels then you should also enquire about getting them vaccinated against kennel cough. The vaccine is usually given via the nostrils and protects against bordetella bronchiseptica and parainfluenza virus.
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
The CPV virus is mainly transmitted through direct contact with an infected animal, or indirectly through contact with the stools of an infected dog which contain a heavy concentration of the virus. This contact can include inhalation as well as touch. The virus can also live in the ground for up to a year where it can be brought into contact with a dog by way of shoes.
Feline Retro Virus Treatment
Feline leukemia virus (Current guidelines recommend that only ‘at risk’ cats are vaccinated against feline leukemia virus. Those deemed at risk include kittens and immune-compromised cats).
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
There is no cure for CDV itself, but instead treatment revolves around easing symptoms and ensuring that further problems such as bacterial infections do not take hold. This is usually done in a hospital environment and may involve intravenous fluid therapy, anti-sickness medications, antibiotics, anti-convulsion medications and glucocorticoid therapy.
Ear Infection Treatment
Health: The breed is unfortunately subject to a number of genetic conditions including poor eye health, allergies and skin conditions, bloating, hip dysplasia and ear infections.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
Hip Dysplasia Treatment
However, most importantly, a dog’s nails are a part of their anatomy and having nails that are too long can alter the way in which your dog moves and carries himself. The altered position causes the bones in his feet to sit at a different angle, which in turn puts pressure on the joints. Over time, this can cause significant joint pain and lead to arthritis.
Obesity Treatment
We are constantly being told that obesity levels are increasing and we should act now to ensure our long term health. However this problem does not just affect humans. A shocking statistic from the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention states that an estimated 54% of dogs and cats in the United States are overweight or obese.
Diabetes Treatment
Epilepsy Treatment
Heart Disease Treatment
Heartworm is a serious illness that can cause heart failure, lung disease, organ damage and even death in dogs, cats and ferrets. Heartworm is most prevalent in pets living along the Atlantic Gulf coasts from New Jersey to the Gulf of Mexico, and in those living alongside the Mississippi and its main tributaries. However it has been found in pets in all of the US States.
Kidney Disease Treatment
"Everyone is so caring. Special thanks to Patty and Kevin who have been so kind to Junebug and have taken the time to sit with me for a minute and offer moral support in dealing with his Kidney disease. I've been taking him in twice a week for sub q. Dr. Choi even called me this morning just to see how Junebug was doing and last but not least HUGE thanks to Dr. Kim as always for being the awesome doctor she is!! You are all the BEST!!!"
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Regular teeth brushing is the only way to help combat periodontal disease, and if your pet has bad breath then it is a sure sign of a dental problem. Your vet will be happy to recommend specialist pet toothbrushes and toothpaste – just ask!

Wound and Fracture Care
This disease is thought to require very close contact to infected cats to be spread, such as milk from mother to kitten or bite wounds. Much more common in city areas, and among un-neutered and stray cats. Multi-cat households also present a higher risk. The symptoms include poor body condition and coat, anorexia, diarrhea and jaundice. The virus attacks the bone marrow which results in leukemia and sometimes lymphoma.
Poisoning Treatment

Veterinary Surgery
Whilst a sick pet may require inpatient treatment in care in your veterinary surgery for days or even weeks, you will need to continue providing them with care and compassion to aid their recovery when they come home. This can include administering medication, supporting physical rehabilitation, emotional care, and fulfilling any special dietary requirements.
Spaying and Neutering
You should also speak to your veterinarian about spaying or neutering your pet. There are thousands of animals in shelters across the country that are desperate for loving homes. Limiting population growth further by having your pet spayed or neutered is a responsible course of action for any owner.

Laboratory Services
Dog suspected to be infected with heartworm are usually given an antigen test. This is a blood test that detects proteins that are released by adult female heartworms into the bloodstream of the host animal. However this test cannot usually detect infections that are less than 6/7 months old as before this time as any microfilariae may not be fully matured.
X-Ray
Dental Radiology
Microchipping
Most adoptable pets have already been given a microchip if they come from a rescue group or shelter. If your pet hasn't got one, whether it's a new one or one you adopted before chipping became prevalent, you should take this extra step for your pet. It doesn't matter if your pet lives exclusively indoors or if it loves the outdoors, microchipping is essential for the safety of your pet.

General Pet Care

Boarding
Grooming
While for many people the concept of grooming your pet conjures up notions of brushes and bows, it is in fact a vital element to their overall health and wellbeing. Regularly grooming your animal allows you to catch any underlying diseases or conditions early, meaning that they will be able to be treated quicker and more efficiently and will therefore be less likely to have any lasting effect on your pet.
Senior Pet Care
If you are unsure whether your pet needs vaccines, we recommend that you schedule an examination with the doctor first. During this visit, the doctor will examine your pet and discuss which vaccines are necessary based on your pet's age, medical condition and lifestyle. For older animals, we believe that a complete physical examination should be performed every 6 months. It is also recommended that complete bloodwork and a urinalysis should be performed every year as well. This is so that we can ensure that your senior pet is healthy. Bloodwork and a urinalysis can screen for early signs of diseases before your pet shows any symptoms. If we can detect this early, we have a better chance of treating the disease or delaying further progression of the disease. Vaccine titer testing may be a better option for your pet, especially if he or she is older, has a medical condition that he or she is being treated for, or has a history of allergic reactions to vaccines. This option can be discussed in detail with the doctor.
Dog Training
For more information on training your dog, speak to your veterinarian who may be able to direct you to local dog or puppy training classes.
