As the aging process escalates in the body you will notice a variety of behavior and physical changes begin to appear.
Animals begin to lose mobility, their immune system weakens, they develop a lower metabolism, and lose muscle and bone mass.
You can look for the following signs of aging in to appear in your dog or cat:
- joint aches and pains
- excessive panting after walks
- sleeping more
- difficulty hearing or less responsive when being called
- incontinence or bladder leaking
- weight loss
- difficulty seeing
- difficulty urinating
- increased thirst
- restless at night
- urinating more frequently
- eyes appear to have a slight blue or whitish haze over the pupils
Have you gotten your furry friend a sweater or coat to keep him or her warm this winter season? It may let him or her enjoy their walks with you a little bit more; remember the lower your dog is to the ground the more he/she feels the cold especially at the base of their spine near their tail. Also, if they are already experiencing arthritis for - bigger dogs as well.
