About The Webinar
How often do we hear, or say, “this is just old age, there is nothing to do”? Of course, we cannot reverse the changes brought on by aging, but there are many things, often little, we can suggest, to make a big difference in the quality of life of our geriatric patients. In this presentation, I will talk about the changes related to age, mainly on the brain and musculoskeletal system, and discuss how we can assess and monitor quality of life. In the second part, we will discuss medical, nutritional and exercise management of old age, with a particular focus on pain management. We will see how complementary treatments can be incorporated in a tailored care plan, and eventually I will suggest simple tricks to help the pets in their own home. Because thinking about their daily needs will show your clients you care, which is a great way to strengthen the bond with them.
