View all our treatments Senior health check As your friend gets older What is old age, what is disease? It's not easy to know, but it's important to have a veterinarian examine your elderly dog or cat. That is why we recommend senior checks . You can often find something that can be treated and in this way you can increase the animal's quality of life. With age, more age-related diseases can come. Through a senior health check , your veterinarian can find out how your friend is feeling and detect deficiencies or signs of aging at an early stage. This means a thorough examination, including listening to the heart and being able to take blood and urine samples to give a good picture of how, among other things, the liver, kidneys and thyroid gland work. The age of the dog The aging of a dog depends on the breed and size. In large dogs, it starts earlier. Over time, the dog can more easily suffer from various diseases that have to do with age. Osteoarthritis, for example, which makes many older dogs stiff and difficult to get up. Osteoarthritis can not be cured, but the condition can be treated so that the dog has a good quality of life and is not in pain. The older the dog is, the greater the risk that it has tooth loss and tartar. Remember that dogs usually eat, even though they are in pain. At a health check, the veterinarian also looks into the dog's mouth. The age of the cat Katter kan bli upp till 20 år gamla. Åldersprocessen börjar vi 7-8-års ålder. Kastrerade katter lever i genomsnitt längre än okastrerade. Ett vanligt ålderstecken är minskad rörlighet. Din katt kan verka stelare och undvika att hoppa upp och ner från olika ställen. Den kan bli skyggare, mindre intresserad av lek och kel och mer lättretad. Den sover mer än tidigare. Den kan få svårare att hitta och jamar högt utan anledning. Ett förändrat vattenintag kan bero på att inre organ får försämrad funktion.
