There is a clear link between heart disease and periodontal disease. By keeping your dog or cat’s mouth clean can help save teeth and help you avoid any costly dental procedures and anesthesia to remove infected teeth.
Your pet’s skin is the largest organ on his body. Changes in appetite, the appearance of the coat and the appearance of allergies or lesions can all be an indicator of internal disease. Regular checkups can identify any problems before they occur.
Also, some diseases like heartworm, cancer, and heart disease are all treatable, and early detection often extends the life of your pet.
In most cases, a pet will need to stay overnight for additional monitoring by the vet before he can go home. If there are exposed stitches your pet can reach, he may also require a cone worn around the neck to prevent him from scratching or licking the injury.
Once home, your vet can provide you with a plan of action. It may take a few days for your pet to start acting normal. In the meantime, offer small amounts of food and water and keep him a quiet and comfortable place, like his crate, where he feels secure.
