Palliative Care

Palliative care is provided to a patient that has been diagnosed with a chronic or terminal disease and requires supportive therapies to improve quality of life. These pets may suffer from conditions such as kidney failure, chronic arthritis, cancer, or dementia. The focus is no longer on a cure but for their care and comfort. HousePaws creates an individual treatment plan designed to meet the pet’s medical needs and provides educational and emotional support to caregivers. This protocol is designed to be an active plan that will be modified as the pet’s condition changes. In-home Pet Palliative Care is available in The Woodlands.

Palliative Care Services might Include:

  • Fluid Therapy
  • Pain Management
  • Nutritional Counseling
  • Environmental Modification
  • Wound Care
  • Injectable and Oral Medications
  • Owner Education and Support

  • Our featured pets this week are Sweet Pea and Cabby. These sweet kitties are housemates and both seniors at 15 and 17 years old! Just like most senior pets, these girls have some arthritis, along with a few other medical conditions that we closely monitor and treat. Sweet Pea and Cabby have amazing moms who take such great care of them and stay on top of all their medical needs. A large part of our practice is geriatric/ senior pet care of both dogs and cats. We recommend seeing all senior pets at least twice a year or more frequently if they are on medications. Senior pets also love us coming to their homes, less stressful for sure, especially for our kitty patients! #housecallvet #seniorpetcare #weloveseniorpets #mobilevet #seniorkitties
  • Happy Halloween from all of us at HousePaws! #housecallveterinarian #mobilevet #halloweenfun🎃
  • This week we have a special girl as our featured pet! This is Beth! Beth is about 10 and was found as a stray wandering the streets alone in August. She was taken in by a wonderful local rescue where she was found to have a back condition known as IVDD. Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) is a condition where the cushioning discs between the vertebrae of the spinal column either bulge or burst (herniate) into the spinal cord space. This was a condition she had for a wile we suspect and was not treated. She was weak and a bit uncoordinated with her hind legs and had a small bulge in her lower back. We began seeing Beth in September where we started doing acupuncture and laser therapy, the shelter staff have been diligent with her physical therapy and she has improved! We all feel like she is now ready for a family of her own. She is so sweet, small, housebroke, gets along fine with other dogs and cats (a few staff members have taken her home for the weekends), she loves to sit on your lap and will make a wonderful companion! She will always have a little imperfection in her back and the way she walks but none of us are perfect 😉. If you are interested in adopting Beth or know someone that is please contact us or the shelter she is at, abandon animal rescue in Tomball! #abandonanimalrescuetomball #welovebeth #adopt #rescuedog #seniorpets #mobilevet #housecallvet #dogacupuncture #ivddindogs
