Stateline Animal Hospital: Dr. Jim Shively (Dr. Dog)

We provide thorough examinations for pets of all ages to assess overall health, detect early signs of illness, and ensure your companion receives personalized care tailored to their needs.

Our clinic administers essential core vaccinations to protect pets from common and life-threatening diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus, following veterinary guidelines for optimal immunity.

Our clinic offers comprehensive heartworm testing and prevention programs to protect your pet from this serious and potentially fatal disease. We provide guidance on monthly preventive medications and follow-up screenings.

We recommend and administer flea and tick preventatives tailored to your pet’s lifestyle, ensuring year-round protection against parasites that can cause discomfort or transmit diseases.

We provide permanent identification through microchipping and assist with registration in national databases to increase the chances of reuniting you with your pet if they ever get lost.

Using digital radiography, we capture detailed images of your pet’s teeth and jaw to diagnose hidden dental issues like root infections or fractures before they become painful problems.

We safely remove damaged or diseased teeth under anesthesia, using advanced techniques to minimize discomfort and promote quick healing for your pet.

We perform routine spay and neuter procedures to help control pet populations, reduce health risks like certain cancers, and promote overall well-being for your pets.

In cases of acute illness or injury, we offer immediate stabilization and emergency care to address critical needs before further treatment or hospitalization.

For pets requiring intensive care, we provide round-the-clock monitoring, IV fluids, pain management, and specialized treatments in our comfortable and well-equipped hospital ward.

We administer intravenous fluid therapy to treat dehydration, support organ function, or aid recovery from surgery or illness, ensuring your pet stays hydrated and stable.

Our clinic offers tailored pain management solutions for pets undergoing surgery, recovering from injuries, or suffering from chronic conditions to ensure their comfort and quality of life.

If your pet ingests a toxic substance, we provide immediate treatment, including induced vomiting (when safe), activated charcoal, IV fluids, and supportive care to minimize damage.

We work closely with pet owners to evaluate their companion’s quality of life, especially in senior pets or those with chronic illnesses, to provide compassionate guidance on care options.
