DYK? Undetected glaucoma can lead to irreversible blindness in your senior #pet. Bring your furry friend in for a test today!

Tweet

When your older pet comes in for a regular retinal exam, your veterinarian can look for signs of bleeding, degeneration, inflammation or detachment and recommend treatment before it turns into a larger health issue.

Want to soothe your aging #pet? Regular massage, joint manipulation or gentle grooming can help decrease anxiety.

Tweet

According to Dr. Karen Overall, disorientation is one of the most common behavioral changes clients notice in their aging pets. If your dog or cat starts getting lost and confused in your house or outside, it could be a sign of age-related cognitive dysfunction.

Playing regularly with senior #pets, even if they're slowing down with age, stimulates animals' brains and keeps them acting younger.

Tweet

Is your senior dog or cat pacing and vocalizing in the middle of the night, leaving you sleepless and helpless? Make an appointment with us so we can discuss this common issue for older pets, find a solution and put and end to the late-night ruckus.

If your geriatric #pet has lost interest in food and is losing weight, come see us for a diagnostic test to rule out underlying health problems.

Tweet

As with humans, many senior pets start to lose hearing as they age. If your pet is hearing impaired, try tapping on the floor loudly upon entering a room to prevent startling the animal, since this can lead to fear biting.

Don't let your #pet suffer with arthritis pain. Noticing changes in walking or jumping? It might be time for a #veterinary clinic visit.
