Plain-English summary
Vision and hearing checks are part of senior dog and cat care when owners notice age-related changes or sensory concerns.
What it is
Vision and hearing checks are part of a broader senior pet evaluation alongside teeth, ears, heart, mobility, behavior, pain, and quality of life. They can help guide discussion when owners notice bumping into objects, cloudiness, startle responses, or reduced response to sound.
Why it matters
Changes in vision or hearing can affect confidence, behavior, mobility, sleep, and safety at home. Owners may notice subtle changes before they are obvious during a clinic visit.
How mobile veterinary care helps
During a house call, Dr. Sergey can discuss the changes you see at home, examine your pet, and explain whether monitoring, treatment discussion, or referral may be recommended.
When to ask about it
Ask about vision and hearing if your pet bumps into objects, startles easily, does not respond normally, seems disoriented, hesitates on stairs, or shows behavior changes with age.
