WELLNESS EXAMS
We will perform a comprehensive evaluation of all organ function during your pet’s wellness exams at Modern Vet. Examples of more common findings are: dental disease, weight issues, ear/skin infections, heart murmurs, skin tumors, cataracts, painful joints, and flea/tick/tapeworm infestations. Many of the things listed above could potentially cause intense discomfort or if left untreated could be fatal. If detected early however, all of them could be managed or cured
LAB SCREENING
After the physical exam has been completed, your vet will discuss any screening lab work that may be indicated for your pet. The recommended tests will be determined by your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and physical exam results.
After evaluating physical and lab findings, your vet will discuss your pet’s lifestyle, diet, medication (if any), or vaccinations (if due). Your pet’s wellness exam is also a great time to talk about any behavioral issues that your pet may be struggling with, often it may be linked to undetected illness. If your pet is healthy, your vet will explain how best to approach modification of your pet’s behavioral issues.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD WELLNESS EXAMS BE PERFORMED?
This depends on your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, diet, and illness history. Generally, younger pets (less than 7 years of age) need annual wellness exams. Older pets (over the age of 7) should have a semiannual wellness exam (twice a year). Pets with potentially serious diseases may need exams more often.
Tests that may be recommended are:
CBC (complete blood count)
Chemistry panel (organ evaluation)
Urinalysis
Thyroid screening
FELV/FIV screen
Blood pressure reading
Cytology
X-rays
Glaucoma check
Fecal exam
