Elderly Pets
As pets get older, unfortunately more problems can occur.
Over the age of 7 we advise switching to a senior diet to ensure they get the most optimal nutrition and try and prevent problems such as weight gain as the metabolism slows down.
Early detection of a problem is often the best time to start any treatment, so we offer 6 monthly check ups and a range of blood and urine tests to check for problems such as osteoarthritis, diabetes, liver or kidney disease.
Common symptoms of a number of conditions include:
- More reluctant to excercise or tiring on excercise more easily
- Increased drinking
- Weight loss
- Increased panting
- Change in appetite
- Behaviour changes
- vomiting and diarrhoea
