🐾 Gwen 🐾
This gorgeous girl has spent a few days with us and we are crossing fingers she continues to recover smoothly, now at home, with her amazing and loving family 🥰
Within the exams and checks that were done, Gwen had regular blood pressure checks!
Blood pressure checks become increasingly important as our pets get older as just like in people, dogs and cats can develop high blood pressure (hypertension), and it often causes no obvious signs at home…
The risk is higher when certain conditions are present, including chronic kidney disease, diabetes, heart disease and hyperthyroidism. High blood pressure can affect important organs such as the eyes, kidneys, heart and brain, so identifying it early can help us monitor and manage these changes before they cause more serious problems!
The good news? Measuring blood pressure is quick, non-invasive and usually well tolerated by our pawtients ❤️
For senior pawtients, particularly those with underlying health conditions, regular blood pressure is just another useful tool alongside other tests that will help us look after your pets just like if they were ours ❤️
Thank you Gwen for being a star patient with us these days 🤍🐶
