Keep Your Senior Pet Healthy with All Pet Center

As our pets age, it’s important to be aware of their health and any potential problems. Unfortunately, some senior pet issues can go unnoticed in the early stages.

To ensure your pet stays healthy, All Pet Center offers diagnostic tests, including a complete blood panel, complete blood count, thyroid levels, urinalysis, thoracic and abdominal radiographs, or ultrasound to evaluate your pet’s health.

Signs of Possible Problems

It’s crucial to watch out for any possible health issues in your aging pet. Some of the signs that could indicate a problem include:

  • Unusual behavior
  • Difficulty climbing stairs or jumping up
  • Changes in sleep patterns
  • Increased stiffness or limping
  • Weight gain or loss
  • Discoloration or tartar on teeth
  • Bad breath, red or swollen gums
  • Changes in hair coat or skin
  • New lumps or bumps or itching
  • Vocalization
  • Increased thirst and urination
  • Loss of housetraining
  • Less interaction with family
  • Coughing
  • Easily tired
  • Confusion or disorientation
  • Behavior changes such as aggression, fear, or shyness

Cats Hide Symptoms

Remember that cats often hide their symptoms and pain more than dogs, so it’s important to be extra vigilant when noticing changes in your aging cat’s behavior. If you notice any of the signs mentioned above in your pet, discuss them with your veterinary doctor.

Steps to Better Pet Health

As a pet owner, you’re the first line of defense in keeping your pet healthy. You can quickly catch potential health issues by monitoring your pet’s behavior and physical abilities.
