Radiographs are an effective diagnostic tool in both human and veterinary medicine. They enable us to visualize internal structures and diagnose abnormalities in bones and organs. Often, multiple views are necessary to fully evaluate a pet's condition.

These radiographs illustrate the importance of obtaining multiple views to gain a complete understanding of the situation. While the first image indicates that the cat's leg is broken, it does not reveal the extent of the displacement shown in the second image.

By analyzing both views, our veterinarians can make an informed decision regarding the best course of action for the pet’s recovery.

As November ends, we share our final senior pet tip.

Undiagnosed dental disease can cause significant pain and discomfort as our pets age. Bad breath or difficulty eating may be early warning signs that your pet needs to see a veterinarian. Regular examinations are essential for pets of all ages, as they help monitor age-related health issues and ensure your furry friend stays comfortable and happy.

Continuing with Senior Pet Month Dr. Moffett shares her tip for making life a little easier for your senior.

"Many senior pets have trouble with their vision, especially at night. It can be very helpful for them to turn on a light to help them navigate things like stairways and the backyard at night."

Our pets depend on us throughout their lives, from puppy to adult to senior. During their senior years, there are small steps we can take to make their days easier. To close out November, we thought we'd share a few of those steps.

This article from Purina lists signs of old age in our cats as well as common senior health problems. It's always important to have your senior pets examined by your veterinarian once a year for early diagnosis and treatment of any health issues.

As a cat ages, their nutritional and lifestyle needs will change. Learn at what age to start considering your cat senior and how you should care for them.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about the reality of su***de. The ongoing mental health crisis is all too real and we need to to support change.

Veterinarians are responsible for providing preventive care through vaccinations, medical surgeries, and preventive medications. Additionally, they are faced with challenging cases, delivering terminal diagnoses, and euthanasia. The veterinary field is experiencing a shortage of professionals due to burnout, financial concerns, retirement, and, regrettably, su***de.
