𝙲𝚊𝚗 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚙𝚘𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚒𝚐𝚗𝚜 𝚘𝚏 𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚊𝚐𝚎?

As our pets age it's important to keep an eye out for signs that their old age may be catching up with them!

Joints - has your pet lost that spring in their step? Do they still jump up on their favourite chair? If you've noticed either of these it's likely that the once well oiled machine has become a little creaky. Sadly we can't reverse these changes but we can definitely make our pets feel better and slow any further arthritis.

Eyes - are your pet's eyes looking a little milky? If you notice any change in your pet's eyes it is very important to see a vet as soon as possible! A common change in older pet's eyes is Nuclear sclerosis. This is similar to cataracts and results in thickening of the lens over time leading to the white milky appearance. Nuclear sclerosis is a normal age related change and most dogs maintain great vision however, if the changes are severe enough vision can be impaired.

Teeth - do you find yourself avoiding your pet's mouth? Has your pet lost their pearly white smile? Are they slower to eat their food? Chances are your pet probably needs a dental. All those years of stealing sausages off the barbie, those bits of delicious chicken under the table and maybe even a puppuccino or two has likely led to dental issues. The only way to fix this is a dental scale and polish under general anaesthetic. As our pets age their anaesthetic risk increases so it's important to get this checked sooner rather than later.

Ears - do find yourself calling your pet's name a little louder? Just like humans, animal's hearing worsens as they age and although this doesn't often worry them it does mean they are less aware of their surroundings. This might mean they may not hear that car or bike next time they walk out on the road!

If you have any concerns about your pet's old age, please don't hesitate to book a health check on 4779 0233 and speak to one of our vets! An aging pet can still have a wonderful life with the right support.

Well as much as your dog may still love the exact same food they've been eating for the last 7 years it may be time to think about a food more specifically suited to seniors. Many of the major pet food brands produce seniors specific diets which aim to better support your pet's nutritional needs later in life. This tends to be lower carbohydrates and increased protein but may have other additives that help with joint mobility, heart disease, kidney disease and other more specific conditions depending on the product.

If you're wondering what the best diet for your senior pet is, feel free to book a consult or bring it up in your next check up!

If you’ve noticed your horse starting to hobble around like an old man, it’s quite likely they have developed some degree of osteoarthritis over time. This is a degenerative condition of the joints that results in pain, inflammation and reduced mobility. It is extremely common and often the result of years of “wear and tear.” Although unfortunately irreversible, we can manage this condition with less strenuous activity, supplements and medications. We have many options available to help keep your horse pain-free and comfortable and are always happy to have a chat about what would work best for you and your horse.

For any assessment of lameness and advice, please call the clinic on 4779 0233.

For any animal emergencies during this time, please call the clinic on 4779 0233 and follow the prompts to speak to an on-call veterinarian.

Did you know that cats and small dogs are regarded as seniors by around 8 years of age and large breed dogs by 6 years of age?

Give your “Golden Oldies” the best pet care with these quick tips:
1. Veterinary Checkups every 6 months: Checkups allow for early detection of serious senior pet problems, like Cancer, UTIs, Heart problems, or Dementia.

2. Practice Good Nutrition & Dental Care: Maintain your pet’s teeth to prevent dental disease, and keep up with the daily walks - even when it’s getting colder outside.

3. Provide your Pet with a stable environment & accommodations: New changes may be stressful to your senior pet. Keep a calm and friendly, relaxed household.

Call 4779 0233 to book your senior pet in for their 6 month checkup and take the step towards a healthier pet!

Look at them sitting there, looking like butter wouldn't melt in their mouths (maybe we did teach them something after all !) 😂
