Geriatric (Senior Animal) Care

We work to make this period more comfortable for your companion whom you have spent years with. At Anka Veterinary Clinic, we apply check-up screenings that help identify health risks early for senior pets.

Geriatric (Senior Animal) Care

Let's make the years spent together painless and peaceful.

- Golden Age Protocol

Early-Stage Organ Screening

Risks of kidney, liver, and heart failure may increase with age. We monitor organ functions using routine biochemical blood panels and SDMA tests.

"If your pet can't get onto the sofa they used to or avoids stairs, it's likely joint pain rather than 'unwillingness.'"

Joint Health & Pain Management

A companion 'slowing down' isn't just old age; it might be pain from joint issues. In cases like osteoarthritis and spondylosis, we follow up the process with medical and supportive approaches based on veterinary evaluation.

Cognitive Dysfunction (Pet Alzheimer's) Monitoring

Aimless nighttime crying, disorientation, or house-soiling can be signs of dementia. We aim to help manage this process with brain-supporting diets and veterinary-controlled applications.

Anesthesia & Surgery for Seniors

Age is not a disease. With detailed pre-operative screenings and 'liver-friendly' anesthesia protocols, we safely perform operations on elderly pets.
Clinic Note

Organ Reserve

In senior animals, organs only show symptoms after they exhaust their backup capacity. Our goal is to see this decline in advance through laboratory analysis and protect them.

Generally, pets enter the geriatric period after age 7. However, this threshold varies by breed size (earlier for giant breeds).

Since disease processes progress faster in old age, we recommend laboratory-supported clinical check-ups every 6 months.

Excessive sleep can be a symptom of heart failure or chronic joint pain rather than just age; a physical exam is needed to differentiate.

Conditions like cataracts are common, but some eye diseases can be managed with medication. Keeping the home layout consistent provides security if losses occur.

Using orthopedic beds, elevating food bowls, and placing non-slip mats on slippery floors can miraculously improve their quality of life.

Yes. Mass checks during physical exams and early-stage neoplasia screenings with radiological imaging are part of our geriatric protocol.
