Our Senior Health Care Program at Mountain Shadows Pet Hospital
is designed to be a comprehensive and lifelong program focusing on prevention,
early detection and quality treatment of illness and disease in our older
pets. In general, any pet over the age of 6 years is considered to be
in their senior years and would be an excellent candidate for our Senior
Health Care Program.

- Canine or feline complete blood panel to assess your pet's internal organ function, blood cells and major electrolytes.
- Complete in-hospital urinalysis to assess your pet's urinary system (kidneys & urinary bladder) and to screen for sugar & protein in the urine.
- 2 chest x-rays to assess the l Éungs, heart, trachea (windpipe), lymph nodes of the chest and large veins and arteries of the chest.
- 2 abdominal x-rays to assess the organs in the abdomen including the liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys, intestines and urinary bladder.
- Blood pressure measurement to assess the cardiovascular system.
- In-hospital ECG screen (electrocardiogram) to help assess the rhythm, size and heart rate of your pet's heart.
