Today is National Animal Hospice Day!

In addition, the entire month of November is National Pet Cancer Awareness Month!  Be sure to check your pet for any of these symptoms.  I advocate that you do a check of your pet at least 1-2 times per month.  The most important thing is to get a baseline and continue to monitor for any changes.  Possible signs to watch for include:

  • Unusual fatigue and/or weakness
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Discoloration in urine or stools
  • Bad breath
  • Lumps, bumps, masses
  • Excessive, unusual coughing or sneezing
  • Loss of appetite
  • Pain
  • Changes in quality of skin or coat
  • Blindness
  • Seizures

Please take some time in November to do a quick check of your pet.  Prevention and early detection are critical when it comes to cancer.
