‘Old age comes on suddenly and not gradually as is thought’

-Emily Dickinson

We too are seeing the graying of a population. Elderly pets are now accounting for a large part of our veterinary frequent flyers club. With your own pet check on the following list:

• Are they eating more or less?
• Have they lost weight or gained weight recently?
• Are they drinking any more than usual?
• Do they need to go to the toilet more frequently?
• How are their energy levels-used to be a 10/10 and now only a 5/10?
• Are there any changes in behaviour especially around sleeping habits?

Any changes give us subtle clues that it is time to take a closer look. Veterinary medicine used to be about the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff but these days with our ‘Grey Paws’ examination early detection of treatable or at least manageable disease is on offer to all pets.
