I had my annual little old man doctor visit. Can you even believe I've been in the ownership and care of these old dog gurus at SHRR for one year? I didn't even get any prezzies.
What I did get was vaccinations, my p*e stolen, my blood pressure checked and an extensive senior dog exam.
I came into the ownership of SHRR from my friends at Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh. I had and still have A LOT of ongoing health issues. I have chronic urinary tract infections, high blood pressure, stage 2 kidney disease, and protein losing nethropathy, protein loss through my kidneys.
SHRR's geriatric dog guru Partner Vets have worked hard to get all of my chronic diseases manageable. It requires seeing the doctor regularly, getting testing done regularly, and taking medications. I promise I'm a good boy for all of that.
Thank you to the good doctors and their team at Rivers Veterinary Urgent Care for taking exemplary care of me and managing all of my chronic diseases.
