GLENDALE IS CELEBRATING SENIORS!
|
For the months of November and December, we are once again offering a Senior Wellness Package for our loveable, more seasoned pets. It offers a full exam, nutritional consultation, chest and abdominal x-rays, complete blood work, urinalysis, blood pressure (cats) and ECG (dogs).
Wellness blood work & Urinalysis - Designed to dect early or hidden disease in pets that appear to be healthy. In older pets, it is also used to monitor stable, but ongoing health problems. Please click here for more details.
ECG - An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that is commonly used to assess the heart. When your pet's heart beats, an electrical impulse is generated within a region of the heart known as the pacemaker. This impulse passes through the heart in a predictable manner that can be traced on an ECG recording. Please click here for more details.
Blood Pressure - Refers to the pressure against the walls of arteries during the time the heart contracts and empties itself of blood as well as during the time the heart relaxes and fills with blood. When the heart contracts, this is known as systole, and the systolic pressure is the maximum pressure against the walls of the arteries. When the heart relaxes, it is known as diastole, and diastolic pressure is the minimum pressure against the walls of the arteries. Please click here for more details.
X-rays - We use x-rays to identify any structural abnormalities of the internal organs. The size and shape of the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and spleen can be assessed.
This wellness package is for our generally healthy senior patients. Please call us at 519-927-9229 or email us through our website www.glendalevethospital.com for more details and to book your pet in for their senior package. If you have an appointment with your pet, please fill out either the Senior Dog Wellness Form or Senior Cat Wellness Form ahead of the appointment.

FALL IS A TICK'S FAVOURITE SEASON!
|
Autumn 2023 has seen an increase in the tick population - and that's a problem for cats, dogs and people. This is prime weather for ticks with it being neither too hot nor too cold. With the overall Ontario population of ticks increasing due to climate change and migratory patterns of animals, we are recommending keeping a close eye on the thermometer as ticks are active at four degrees C and above. Ticks are more than just creepy; they can spread a number of different diseases that affect both pets and people. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, anaplasmosis, hepatozoonosis, and babesiosis. We are now recommending year round treatment for tick borne disease prevention.
