As our furry companions grow older, they, like humans, experience a range of age-related changes that can affect their mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life. Rehabilitation, which encompasses various therapeutic exercises and treatments, plays a crucial role in ensuring that senior dogs continue to enjoy their golden years to the fullest. Has your precious pooch been slowing down lately or showing signs of discomfort with daily movements? Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) might be to blame. CHD is a condition of the hip joint, a ball-and-socket joint, in which the head of the femur (the “ball”) does not fit properly into the too-shallow acetabulum (the “socket”). Additionally, the ligaments that connect these two bony surfaces together are not as strong.
Like humans, as dogs age their nutritional needs change. When determining how much to feed your dog it is important to consider the number of calories that is right for your dog’s activity level and body condition. Very old dogs tend to be underweight and will need additional calories to gain weight. Quantifying pain: Do you ever wonder if your dog is in pain? PainTrace® has the answer. Traditional methods of assessing your pet’s pain have been based on subjective information, although this is valuable it is not typically able to pinpoint the location of the pain.
