The SENIOR CAT Checklist: Why 10 Years Old is a Critical Turning Point

Are you a concerned pet parent noticing your cat getting older and wondering what early warning signs to watch for? In this episode, Dr. Randy Aronson and his co-host, Olivia Sacci, address a question from a viewer in Scarsdale, NY, about identifying early signs of kidney disease and liver disease in cats as they enter their senior years. Learn why integrative veterinary medicine emphasizes proactive care and how a senior blood panel can catch life-threatening trends before they become clinical emergencies.

Dr. Randy and Olivia dive into the importance of biannual veterinary exams for feline health, explaining how one year for a cat equals five human years. The discussion covers essential diagnostics like the proBNP test for heart health, the Feline Grimace Scale for detecting hidden pain, and innovative supplements like Porus One and Azodyl to support kidney function. Whether you're dealing with feline osteoarthritis or painful resorptive lesions in the teeth, this guide helps pet owners navigate the "Year of the Cat" with expert, holistic advice.
