Managing Chronic Illness

Chronic Diseases in Dogs & Cats
Caring for a pet with a chronic or long-term illness is an emotional journey. When you bring a pet into your home, you accept the responsibility to care for them not only in good times, but also in tough times.

In a perfect world, all illness and disease would be cured by a single dose of a medication or one course of antibiotics. While this is sometimes possible, chronic diseases often require multiple treatments and many require long-term management, sometimes for the rest of your pet’s life. Some of the most common chronic diseases in dogs and cats include:

  • Arthritis
  • Other orthopedic conditions
  • Chronic Kidney Disease
  • Hepatitis
  • Other liver diseases
  • Skin allergies
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Cushing’s and Addison’s Disease
  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease
  • Hyperthyroidism (cats)
  • hypothyroidism (dogs)

Studies show many chronic conditions have continued to increase in the USA, in some instances at alarming rates. Since 2007, obesity rates have increased by 74% in dogs and 179% in cats. This is associated with other serious diseases such as arthritis, diabetes mellitus, and heart and respiratory disease. Because of this, some insurance companies now offer “chronic disease” policies.

With chronic conditions like these, multiple appointments with the patient and caring staff at Veterinaire Pet Care Full Service Animal Hospital will likely be needed to make sure that your pet is responding well to treatment. Over time, your pet may need adjustments to their medications to help them feel their best. We may need to send for more lab work than an otherwise healthy pet since these conditions and their treatment can affect other organs in your pet’s body. Recheck appointments and lab work ensure that your pet is receiving optimal care.

Overall, it is important to realize with Chronic Diseases that there is no single simple cure, and that management of their condition will require long-term treatment and recheck visits with your veterinarian. But by getting your pet the appropriate care, they can still live a comfortable and happy life for as long as is possible even with their disease.
