SENIOR WELLNESS PROGRAM |
| |
Your pet's health is very important
to us and that is why we have implemented a comprehensive wellness program
here at Dorr Veterinary Clinic. Between 10% and 15% of pets that seem
healthy by physical exam alone, actually have underlying problems that we
could detect by doing further testing. Early detection can help us treat or
manage them before they threaten your pet's well being. Pets age faster than
we do, so potential illnesses can sneak up on our pets before we're ready to
expect them. "Middle age" for our pets can be as young as four years old!
Imagine only visiting the doctor four times by the time you're 40 years old.
Your visit will start with a detailed physical
examination. This will include questions for you regarding your pet's health
and habits. The doctor will then check your pet's eyes, ears, skin, teeth,
heart, and abdomen. Next, the you and the doctor will go over a plan for
your pet's health, including dental disease, parasite prevention, arthritis
and nutrition. |

Our Senior Wellness Program includes
the
following:
|
| |
| Senior Wellness Physical Exam |
| Arthritis Disease Evaluation |
| Dental Disease Evaluation |
| |
| Senior Wellness Profile |
| The Senior Wellness Profile includes
detailed bloodwork to check your pet's liver, kidneys, and
thyroid, as well as their immune system. |
| |
|
Also included in the Senior Wellness Profile is a
Urinalysis. A urinalysis assesses the health and function of the urinary
system. This is especially important in older animals to help early
detection of kidney and liver disease. |
| |
| For our canine patients the Senior
Wellness Profile also includes a Heartworm Test. |
| |
| For our feline patients the Senior
Wellness Profile includes a Feline Leukemia and AIDS tests. |
| |
| After a complete physical exam is
completed the doctor will go
over all test results with the owner, and formulate a wellness plan for the pet.
The entire process takes about 30 minutes. Contact the Dorr Veterinary Clinic more
information. |
