Age isn’t a disease, but with age comes an increased chance for your pet to develop one or more diseases. For this reason, we recommend exams for our senior patients every 6 months. As pets age much faster than we do, staying on top of their medical needs is extremely important.
With our experienced pets, we pay attention to the possibilities of arthritis, kidney and liver disease, diabetes, thyroid issues, elevation in blood pressure, oral disease, and dementia. Although these diseases cannot be cured, control of these disease processes is usually achievable.
Let us help you help your pet as they enter their geriatric years.
