"Typically, once pets are 7 years or older, they're considered seniors."
~I am a small animal veterinarian that is new to this whole blogging thing. I was prompted to start this page by my friends, family and even the lady in the check out line asking the same question: "I have this dog/cat and they do this. Is that normal?" I thought a blog page might be a good way to share some of my stories and maybe in the process, educate people, about these wonderful things we call 'animals'.~

Signs of Illness in Your Older Dog
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I had a wonderful holiday season but I'm glad to be back in the normal swing of things. So I'm going to start with signs to watch for in your older dog or these even apply to cats. If you notice any of these symptoms I would strongly recommend a visit to your veterinarian to get things checked out. They will most likely want to do an exam and some diagnostics (blood work, x-rays, etc).
