Senior health care:
The veterinarians at Triadelphia
Veterinary Clinic are trained to diagnose a variety of health
problems that affect our pets, both young and old. Thanks to better
health care, more and more pets are living longer lives. As a
result, an increased number of older pets, just like people, are
coping with multiple disease states that can be difficult to manage.
A healthy-appearing
pet may be hiding symptoms of disease or ailment. Therefore,
the preventative care of a geriatric pet greatly differs from that
of a younger one.
For senior pets, it is recommended
that exams, blood work and/or urinalysis be performed more
frequently.
This testing helps us evaluate your pet’s health
more
regularly, so that we can initiate treatment and take
preventative measures to
stop or slow any
disease states
as quickly as possible.
If any abnormalities
are identified, we’ll
take
the time to discuss options, formulate plans and
follow
through - together.
We are also prepared to care for
older pets that may be facing multiple problems,
and are committed to your pet’s continued health and comfort.
