And When Will My Vet Recommend Senior Blood Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"354\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gradyvet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/senior-blood-work-for-pets-2.png\" alt=\"Annual Blood Work: an Essential Element of Your Senior Dog or Cat's Health\" class=\"wp-image-141\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Geriatric blood work panels are important to monitor and catch problems. Pets age at a more rapid rate than humans, so veterinarians recommend blood work earlier than physicians do for people. Your veterinarian will suggest senior blood work considering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Your pet&#8217;s overall health<\/li><li>Your pet&#8217;s size<\/li><li>Your pet&#8217;s breed<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As a general rule, we consider cats and smaller dogs to be seniors at eight to ten years. Larger dogs and giant breeds become seniors between six and seven. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s Included in Senior Blood Work for Pets?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following several panels help veterinarians get a sense of your pet&#8217;s internal organ function and how their internal systems are working overall:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>CBC &#8211; Complete blood count<\/li><li>Major profile<\/li><li>Thyroid screening<\/li><li>Urinalysis (not blood work, but still important)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Do Senior Blood Work Results Mean for My Pet?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gradyvet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/senior-blood-work-for-pets-3.png\" alt=\"Annual Blood Work: an Essential Element of Your Senior Dog or Cat's Health\" class=\"wp-image-142\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Your veterinarian will give you a call with the results, and <strong>sometimes the results are definitive.<\/strong> In that case, treatment is recommended. This might include monitoring, change of diet or medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Or, the results might be indicative<\/strong>. They indicate there is a problem, but it might not be a specific diagnosis. There might be a range of issues that could explain the test results, so the veterinarian will recommend further diagnostics, such as X-rays or additional blood work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The best news is when blood work comes back with everything within normal range,<\/strong> indicating your pet is entering their senior years in good health. At that point, your veterinarian may recommend further senior blood work annually or twice a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your pet is approaching senior years, please ask us about senior blood work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch the Annual Blood Work for Senior Pets Video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q2OFAfE_lcU\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the video &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/q2OFAfE_lcU\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Annual Blood Work: an Essential Element of Your Senior Dog or Cat&#8217;s Health<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As your pet reaches a certain age, your veterinarian will [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":140,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,23,24],"tags":[73,76,75,74],"class_list":["post-137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-for-dogs","category-senior-pet-care","category-cats-meow","tag-senior-blood-work","tag-senior-cat-health","tag-senior-dog-health","tag-senior-pet-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Annual Blood Work: an Essential Element of Your Senior Dog or Cat&#039;s Health | Grady Veterinary Hospital<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"As your pet reaches a certain age, your veterinarian will recommend blood work to check on the status of their health and catch any early issues.
