SENIOR PETS
Beginning at around age 7, your pet enters the senior years.
Often, senior pets begin to develop diseases common to
humans in their senior years, such as diabetes, heart disease,
endocrine disease, cancer, and arthritis. These diseases can
go unnoticed in the early stages, so preventive health care is
very important. For this reason, the staff at RedStone
Animal Hospital recommends physical examinations twice
yearly for pets 7 years and older.
Early detection can help in disease prevention and can minimize
suffering. The best approach to caring for your senior pet
includes preventive diagnostics such as:
* Establishing baseline bloodwork
* Identifying existing health problems
* Monitoring progress during treatment
Working together, we can help your pet live a long and healthy life. You know your pet better than anyone else and can alert our medical staff to any changes before they become serious. We can help you understand
the common conditions that your senior pet faces and discuss a regular monitoring plan.
