When the Glassboro–Camden Line light rail system projected for completion in 2019, actually starts to run services connecting Sewell to other parts of the locality, there will probably be an upswing in people choosing to relocate their homes there. This, in turn, is likely to lead to an increase in the number of domestic pets inhabiting Sewell – and they will all require the services of a vet from time to time.
Warm Blooded Pets
The majority of pets in Sewell are likely to be of the warm blooded mammalian type – probably cats, dogs or horses, which their owners will usually adopt into the family circle. When people buy pets like white mice, gerbils, etc, they tend to keep them more for novelty, amusement or, even, educational purposes without being fully integrated them into their families.
Pet Anatomy
Apart from the obvious differences in size and basic “layout”, our mammalian pets are basically much the same us – their “owners”. We all have heads, eyes, mouths, limbs and internal organs, etc. The debate is ongoing over similarities between human and pet intelligence, although both do possess brains.
Pet Health
Because of this similarity, our pets can be prone to much the same health problems as ourselves. Few of us would ever disregard our health condition to a point where something life threatening was almost impossible to resolve. The sensible amongst us take care of our bodies through dietary and exercise programs and back this up with regular health checks. We try to ensure that all members of our human family follow similar healthy regimes.
Heart Attacks
It is a myth that these only occur unexpectedly “out of the blue”. Nearly all fatal heart attacks follow on from a series of warning signals. If these signals are detected in time, it is more than likely that a fatal heart attack can be avoided.
This is why we humans have blood samples taken at a diagnostic clinic to check for enzyme markers and things like cholesterols and triglycerides (lipid panel) to warn us if our hearts are in danger. If so, our doctor will advise us on how to reverse the problems.
The head of a family may well insist that everyone take these precautions. But, if our pets are part of our family, shouldn’t they also be included in such preventative procedures? The answer is that they can be if their owners so choose. All that is required is to arrange a check up at the nearest veterinarian clinic that maintains the services of a Pet Cardiologist For Sewell area.
