Senior Wellness

Most pets reach “middle age” around the age of 6. As in humans, more frequent checkups are recommended as pets age. Pets age at a rate of 3.5 human years every 6 months!

This mid-year exam focuses primarily on detecting abnormalities that occur at a greater
frequency in senior years, but commonly go undetected without medical testing. Identifying
abnormalities early can add YEARS to your pet’s life.

Age-related conditions we test for include: Diabetes, Heart Murmur, Abdominal Masses,
Splenic Masses, Urinary Issues (crystals, stones, UTI), and Kidney Disease.

Manchaca Village Veterinary Care’s 6-month senior visit includes an exam, and the following diagnostics for pets:

  • Chemical Urinalysis Strip
  • Five-Point Screening Ultrasound
  • Two Screening X-Rays
  • Toe Nail Trim
  • Complimentary Day Boarding

Ask about doing baseline labwork for your healthy pets to monitor for sub-clinical disease.
