I had a lovely senior dog in for check-up; he is starting to show signs of a progressive illness. The owner and I had a long talk about quality of life, and how to ensure he is still happy. I find that determining quality of life for senior and sick pets is very important, but can be a real challenge. There is a great questionnaire that owners can use to evaluate and track their pet’s quality of life. You can find the questionnaire at: http://www.veterinarypracticenews.com/vet-practice-news-columns/bond-beyond/quality-of-life-scale.aspx
As always, if you have questions or concerns about your pet our vets are here to help. We all want your pets to be as happy and healthy as possible!
