One area that we have a special place in our hearts for is providing geriatric care for our elderly patients. As our cats and dogs are living longer than ever, we are seeing a number of patients who are having to cope with failing kidneys or liver, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction or cancer.
There are a number of diets, medications, and supplements that we use to provide conservative medical management of kidney and liver failure specifically. We will work with you to provide a reasonable care plan that combines our expertise with home care that you perform so that together we can provide a good quality of life for your geriatric pet. When his or her quality of life is not fair or unacceptable, we are available to help counsel you with difficult decisions as well.
