Early Detection of Health Problems

🐾 Why Early Detection Matters

Pets are experts at hiding pain and discomfort.
They can’t tell us when something feels wrong — so by the time you notice symptoms, the condition may already be advanced.
Early detection allows our veterinarians to identify diseases in their initial stages, when treatment is easier, less expensive, and more effective.

Some common conditions that benefit from early detection include:

• 🩸 Diabetes and Kidney Disorders – Often silent in the beginning; regular blood tests can catch them early.
  
  
• 🦷 Dental Disease – Starts as mild plaque buildup but can lead to infection or tooth loss.
  
  
• 💓 Heart Disease – Detectable through routine checkups, before symptoms like coughing or fatigue appear.
  
  
• 🧫 Parasite Infections – Fleas, ticks, and worms can cause severe internal damage if not treated promptly.
  
  
• 🦴 Arthritis and Joint Issues – Subtle stiffness can progress into painful mobility problems.
  
  

🩺 How We Detect Health Issues Early

At Paws and Care Veterinary Clinic, Karimnagar, we use a combination of modern technology, clinical observation, and experience to spot early signs of illness.
Our preventive health assessments typically include:

1. Comprehensive Physical Exam:
   
   
   • Checking the eyes, ears, mouth, skin, and joints
     
     
   • Listening to the heart and lungs
     
     
   • Observing behavior, appetite, and mobility
     
     
2. Blood and Urine Tests:
   
   
   • Reveal hidden problems in organs like the liver, kidneys, or pancreas
     
     
   • Detect infections or inflammation
     
     
3. Weight and Body Condition Evaluation:
   
   
   • Identifies obesity or sudden weight loss that might signal metabolic issues
     
     
4. Dental and Oral Examination:
   
   
   • Looks for gum inflammation, broken teeth, or tartar buildup
     
     
5. Parasite Screening:
   
   
   • Tests for intestinal worms, fleas, or ticks that can spread diseases
     
     
6. Age-Specific Testing:
   
   
   • Puppies and kittens: growth, vaccines, and parasite control
     
     
   • Adults: nutrition, fitness, and reproductive health
     
     
   • Senior pets: arthritis checks, organ function tests, and blood pressure monitoring
