Senior Pet Care
As pets age, their needs evolve, and CareVet of Middletown understands the importance of providing proper care during their senior years. We strongly recommend more frequent wellness exams for pets over the age of 7 to proactively detect any issues before they progress. Our experienced team may suggest dietary adjustments, exercise modifications, and other healthcare interventions suitable for senior pets. Recognizing signs of pain in older pets can be challenging, but behaviors such as difficulty getting up, limping, decreased stamina on walks, reluctance to be groomed or touched, or urinary/fecal accidents may indicate discomfort. If you notice any of these signs, visit us to identify the source of pain and initiate appropriate treatment. With our expertise and guidance, you can help your senior pet enjoy an extended and happier life. Choose CareVet of Middletown for exceptional senior pet care.
Arthritis Care
Arthritis in pets, similar to humans, is the result of inflammation of the joints. Over time, pets can develop joint problems due to injury, age or genetics. As they age, many dogs and cats begin to demonstrate pain and stiffness, mobility issues and inability to jump or walk. Pets often hide the symptoms of arthritis, but it’s important to catch these signs because arthritis can lead to pain and inflammation in other areas of the body.
If you believe your pet is suffering from arthritis, our team may be able to help your pet regain mobility. We may recommend physical therapy or a special diet to keep your pet active. We might also recommend an x-ray to assess where their pain is originating. From there, we can administer pain medication and other recommendations.
Ophthalmology
The Veterinarians at CareVet of Middletown have years of experience treating eye conditions in pets, including glaucoma, removal of eyelid masses, treatment of eye infections and more. If you suspect your pet has an eye condition, if your pet is pawing and scratching at their eyes frequently, or if you notice a discharge from your pet’s eye, we’re happy to conduct an examination and develop a treatment plan based on our findings. If you feel your pet needs to see a specialist, we will make a recommendation.
