- Large breed
dogs are considered seniors when they are 6 years old.
- Small breed
dogs & cats are not considered seniors until they reach 8
to 10 years of age.
Recent advances
in veterinary medicine have made it possible for us to detect certain
age-related conditions before they start to affect your pet's quality
of life. In fact, early detection and prompt attention can actually
add years of quality life for your friend to enjoy with you.
Here at Portage
Park Animal Hospital, we have developed a complete Senior Moments
Health Care Program. This enables us to tell you how your pet is
doing and to recommend the appropriate care to keep your pet in
good health and young at heart.
The Senior
Moments Health Program includes:
- Complete
physical exam: The doctor will check the eyes, ears,
nose, teeth, skin, heart and lungs, weight and general body conditions.
- Blood
tests: The doctor will run tests to check for anemia,
immunity, thyroid, liver and kidney functions, and other major
organ values.
- X-rays:
Chest and abdominal X-rays will be performed to check for abnormalities
of the heart, lungs, and abdominal organs. X-rays will also tell
us if your pet has arthritis.
- Urine
analysis: This test will check for overall urinary health,
evidence of kidney disease, diabetes or other abnormalities.
- ECG:
This test will tell us how well the heart is working.
