Our pets age at a much faster rate than humans. As such, special attention must be paid to our elderly patients to ensure they live a long, happy, healthy life.
Pets age very quickly and require specific attention to:
- Nutrition
- Gait (walking)
- Vision
- Digestion
- Hormones
- Skeletal abnormalities
- Lumps and bumps
- Coughing, sneezing
- Exercise intolerance
- Urination/defecation
- Behaviour
- Attention span
- Hearing
- Current/concurrent conditions requiring specific treatments
