ANNUAL WELLNESS EXAMS

Annual exams play an important role in helping to keep your pet healthy. Early detection of disease or other disabling condition better enables you to treat, control, and possible even prevent serious or chronic illness in your pet. Your vet may recommend test that can discover early organ dysfunction or metabolic disorders like diabetes, thyroid disease, or Cushing's disease. Pets may have their blood  pressure checked and may have an ECG performed or an x-ray taken if certain heart conditions are detected. Symptoms mean there is damage already being done to the body. Catching a problem before there are any obvious  symptoms greatly improves the prognosis and the illness or condition may even be reversible. Be sure to discus any changes in water consumption, appetite, eliminations, and activity levels with the doctor.
