We welcome back Dr Wendy Baltzer to discuss geriatric and osteoarthritis management. Topics discussed include:

• When is a pet considered geriatric and what factors can affect this stage of life.
• Dr Baltzer regularly performs mid-life assessments in her patients. She explains what this involves and how her approach can differ between cats and dogs.
• Cats affected with osteoarthritis will display different symptoms to dogs. Wendy discussed what pet owners should be looking for.
• The impact that diet can have and how it needs to change as pets age.
• Once there's a diagnosis of OA, what does a personalised management plan look like?
• Dr Wendy talks about the different modalities that she uses to manage OA and what she is trying to achieve with these.
• How can supplements help and what part they play in managing OA?
• When is it appropriate to use NSAIDS?
• Wendy goes in depth on recognising the end-of-life stage in dogs and cats and how to navigate this with pet owners.
