Subtle Signs of Chronic Disease in Pets
|
- Persistent and recurrent "body odor"; needs frequent bathing
- Waxy ears that need cleaning more often than once a month
- Dark discharge on nailbed
- Red or pink line at gum-tooth junction
- Recurrent skin rash, itch or hot spots
- Must eat only one specific diet or will develop diarrhea or vomiting
- Stiff when arising after sleep or rest
- Tires easily when playing or exercised
- Recurrent or shifting leg lameness
- Increase in water consumption
- Recurrent anal gland impaction ("scooting")
- Fears that are exaggerated (example: thunder, loud noises, strangers, delivery persons)
- Sits with one leg out to the side
These are all signs that your pet is a good candidate for holistic or integrated veterinary care!
