Senior Health Program

You may not be aware of the fact that animals mature faster than people; in fact on average pets age seven times faster than people.  Because animals age so rapidly, significant health changes can occur in a very short period of time.  The risks involved with these changes increase with age.

Our Senior Health Program includes the following:
A Comprehensive Physical Examination - allows the veterinarian to assess any abnormalities.
A Complete Blood Panel - Suppies us with a baseline of the various organ functions, and includes a Complete Blood Count that will help indicate if your pet has an infection or is anemic.
T-4 - will test Thyroid Function.  Thyroid disease is a common problem for senior pets
Urinalysis - to screen for urinary tract infections and kidney function.
Tonometry - permits us to check the pressures of the eyes and can help detect glaucoma.
Blood Pressure Measurement - used to check for hypertension. High blood pressure can lead to problems with the kidneys, heart disease, and even blindness.
X-rays - the first set of X-rays are included in our senior health program.  X-rays of the chest will be used to assess the heart and lungs, but further x-rays may be used to determine if your pet has a problem with arthritis, or another condition.
Ultrasound Examination - Will allow the doctor to visualize the internal organs in a non-invasive manner.

By offering these services in packages we are able to offer them at a discounted price.
