In the golden years?
As your loved one ages, it's even more important that you have a good relationship with their veterinarian, and that they are seen more frequently. Correctly treating painful conditions and early detection of disease translate into an improved quality of life, and can often prolong the years you have together.
Generally, we recommend that every "senior" pet - those that are 7 years or older - are seen every 6 months. This is because their quality of life and body is changing so rapidly. Wildflower understands the impact that geriatric care can have on their lives, and is honored to be a part of that team.
At some point, many families will start to question the quality of life their pet is experiencing, and what options they have to keep them comfortable. During this process, we will walk along side you and help you determine what the best course of treatment is for your family.
Wildflower will also walk along side you with unique options for pain control and improved quality of life in your older animals. Many human patients will attest to improved pain control, and decrease in symptoms using complimentary therapies such as therapeutic laser and acupuncture. Dr. Poore is completing advanced training this fall, and both therapeutic laser and and acupuncture services will be offered shortly.
If you are facing geriatric care or pain control issues with your loved one, we recommend scheduling an appointment as soon as possible to see how we can help. Contact us below!
