The Pet Doctor - Episode 236 Feline Fountain of Youth

The Pet Doctor - Episode 236 Feline Fountain of Youth

Author: Pet Life Radio August 9, 2016 Duration: 38:11
Cats are living longer than ever. Why? More of them living indoors, their owners are teaming with veterinarians to address health needs in a more proactive manner along with advances in medical research.

With their increased life span comes aging. Getting old isn’t a disease it is a process and it happens right in front of your eyes, day by day. It seems like yesterday that your cat was a kitten. Now your veterinarian is talking about senior issues. Pet parents try to slow the process by myriad techniques. It is not uncommon for an owner to rave about a new supplement or food that has turned their geriatric feline into a kitten during their cat’s wellness visit. Rather than being ecstatic about their discovery, I am often wary that their cats may be afflicted with a common hormonal condition, hyperthyroidism.

Dr. Hazel Carney, describes herself as “one of the oldest living cat-only doctors left in captivity”. She is also the Chair of the American Association of Feline Practitioners Guidelines Committee.
