Our geriatric pets age at a much faster rate and need to be examined every 6 months. A comprehensive examination is a thorough check of all body systems. Detection and early intervention of diseases will ensure a healthier pet. We may need to collect and analyze lab work (blood, urine, and stools) to further evaluate overall health status. Geriatric issues like arthritis, kidney, liver, and heart disease will be covered. We will discuss current trends and medical issues that pertain to your pet’s breed and age. Your questions and discussions are encouraged. Let us help your pet have a long and quality life.
