If you have an elderly furry friend, you won鈥檛 want to miss the Atlantic Veterinary College鈥檚 community workshop, 鈥淐are of the Geriatric Pet,鈥� on Wednesday, March 5, in Lecture Theatre A, from 7 to 8:30 pm. With advances in veterinary medicine, proper nutrition, and increased awareness of pet owners, pets are living longer lives. How do owners prepare for, and provide the best care during, their pet鈥檚 senior years? At what age is a pet considered senior or geriatric? Dr. Peter Foley, assistant professor of small animal internal medicine, will discuss common diseases of older pets, how to spot symptoms of potential illnesses or problems, and how to handle their special needs. He will also present information on end of life issues and euthanasia. Everyone is welcome. Admission is free and refreshments will be served. Donations to the AVC Friends and Family are gratefully accepted. For information, call (902) 566-0589 or visit upei.ca/avc.
