Ailments in Elderly Pets
In our older companions, there are ailments and disease that can be supported and treated by your vets. It is always a good thing to understand what is happening to their bodies and mind so that you can increase the quality of life for them, for as long as possible, with your vets support.
The Clinical Exam
When we were at vet school, it became clear that the very best test you can do for a patient is a complete and thorough clinical exam.
Without this and the knowledge of clinical conditions, the next step doesn't yeild as much value. This is what vets are trained for and why it is so important to have regular checkups for your pets.
Conditions can then be spotted before they are a problem.
We have put below some common clinical conditions of elderly pets so you can explore what might be happening and arrange with your vets to be supported in the treatment for your animals.
