Senior Years: Understanding Your Dog’s Aging Process

Anyone with an ageing dog will welcome a book in an area devoid of research. Dogs, like people, are living longer, the oldest is documented to have lived to 29. Much is written about how to comfort the ageing dog once body systems fail, yet there is nothing written about how things get that way, or what people can do to stop or slow the process. This book presents information about the ageing phenomena, the physiological principles involved in the conditions of ageing, and the kinds of diagnoses

Do you have any training for physical care for an elderly person? Such as an LPN? How much “care” are you talking about?

If you are not into diaper changing, then don’t allow the person hiring you to assume that. That is, do not advertise “care”.

As well, you are not interested in being their “buddy” either. You want a job, and you are willing to help, and expect to be paid for it.

What you appear to wish to be is a Personal Assistant to a senior living alone or even a senior couple living alone, who just need a little help. Right? You must as well, have some references….. people who have used your services:

In your place, I’d advertise in places like Craigslist or other free circulars in your area. The below idea assumes that you can be creative in the kitchen, make for them a big batch, say of beef/barley stew, and then freeze portions in individual containers, as well as spaghetti sauces etc.. Often seniors don’t know what they want, so before you run to the store and spend their money get yourself a few cook books or go to Epicurious.com, and search for recipes…. or watch Rachel Raye or other cooks. Lots of seniors have a hard time standing for long periods of time to cook things that are then easy for them to fix themselves on the microwave. As well, lots of seniors don’t eat well, because they have no idea what they want. It would be your job to show them various food options that you can cook and freeze for them. And while you are there, and the stuff is simmering, you can walk a dog, vacuum a carpet, or wash a window or two.

Personal Assistant, specializing in seniors

I can make your life a bit easier.

I do such things as:
grocery shop,
cook, prepare meals you can later microwave,
light yard work,
all your errands,
care for your pets, light housework,
helping you entertain
take you to your appointments
etc.

I am available for you in three hour blocks of time, minimum, for a fee of $ ____. (I have no idea what the going rate is, but usually anyone paying a housekeeper pays about $ 15.00/hr in my area)

Be aware that you will need a clean driving record, and flawless legal record, and you must be scrupulously honest when they give you money to shop for them.

You as well ought to contract your time in, say three hour segments, as I have suggested, and on a, say weekly, or every other weekly basis. Everyone wants to know what they will end up paying you. No senior wants any financial surprise. Never.

Understand that if they spend $ 600+ in a year, and pay you by check, you must declare it as income, and they must file a form with the feds and the state.

Question by Blueberrygal: Degenerative joint disease/hip in Maltese/Poodle 5yrs old?
I took my baby in because she was limping-it was a bad sprain, After xrays the Vet says her femoral neck in the hip is eroding away! She is not that old. He gave her Synovi G3 chews for Glucosamine with Chondroitin. If and when she needs the surgery:$ 3500 for one hip-and, always they say-within a yr or two, the other hip goes out. $ 7000 is alot for me-Iam laid off on and a senior. He wants her on a low fat diet-she is over-weight. Iam giving her the Flint River Ranch food from online and yogurt for pro-biotics. I have read that Canidae is low fat and good. I feel so bad about this-she is my first dog and I adopted a 2nd dog. I give them the best of everything. 2 months ago, my Miss Cookie had an infection with bladder stones/struvite. That cost a small fortune and they dissolved and she is fine, was on special Hill’s SD/stone dissolving food. I give her vit c-to help her urine be more acid. I have heard about Diatomaceous Earth from Wolf Creek Ranch and the miracles it can perform-only the human grade is safe for humans and pets, though. Do all dogs go through this thing with the arthritis and hip and knee pain? I don’t want to seem like a whiner-but, this is very expensive. But, there is nothing I can do-Iam ‘into it, now’! and, I will see it through. But, Iam fighting back for the healthy miracle cure. What low fat food do you like best, please, for small dogs? Heard of any miracle cures for joints etc. thanks so much!

Answer by K B
No such thing as a quick fix for degenerating body parts on humans or animals. I am not going to be mean, but please stop wasting time trying to save money here. This dog is only 5 years old, I bet a nice “hybred breeder” created this poor little creature too. Please be an advocate for stopping these breeders!

That being said, honestly – you can give all the supplements you want and all the vet prescribes – but surgery is the only thing that is going to work. Start saving now, apply for Care Credit and do 1 surgery at a time. Do not wait until both go out because the recovery is much harder on them. You dog has to lose weight – the additional weight is hurting them physically. Like humans, being over weight aka fat, will hurt joints and cause more of a physical inability to properly exercise, along with decreased energy. No easy way out of this and that is the truth.

A suggestion however, contact a vet school. Sometimes a vet school will do the surgery for a greatly reduced price due to being able to teach the students how to do this surgery. They are professional and take great care of your pet. It is an option, right?

Question by LYNN66669: Senior cat eating excessively?
My friend’s family has a senior cat, about 13 years old. She is an indoor/outdoor cat. Lately whenever I am over at my friend’s house I have noticed that the cat is constantly looking for food. They only feed the cat dry food and only once a day, but this is how the cat has always been fed and if she is fed more than once a day she gobbles up her food and licks the bowl clean everytime. I know this is a new habit, the cat did not behave like this 5 years ago when I met my friend. The cat will eat anything, tonight I witnessed her eating peas and carrots from a pot left on the counter and she was eating the graham cracker crust from a slice of cheesecake. Also a bout a month ago I noticed the cat seemed to be acting weird. She was letting out these horrible meows and she honestly sounded like she was in pain. From watching the way the cat eats I am thinking she may have worms.

I know my friend’s parents do not take their pets to the vet, which is something I do not approve of! I was thinking of taking th cat to the vet myself, but I know that if I do, the vet is probably going to want to give it all kinds of shots and probably run all kinds of tests. Now if this was my own cat or the family was going to give some money towards the bill I would mind, but I’m pretty sure money is the main reason why their pets don’t go to the vet. And since I have two cats of my own that I must provide and care for I can not afford the expense of a third.

So, I am wondering if anyone might be able to give me some ideas as to what would be causing the cat to act like she’s starving? I’m also wondering if maybe I should try a dewormer from a pet store and see if that helps? I know my friend would pay the vet bills if it was his cat, but since it’s more his brother and sister’s cat he feels they or his parents should care for it, and his financal situation is also not the best. He has told his mother that there is something wrong with “Kitty” and she needs to go to the vet, but his mother just says she’s fine. And for some reason his family seems to be in denial that pets need medical care like people.

So, I’m just looking for some ideas and suggestions as to what my friend and I can possibly do. Or maybe this excessive eating is something normal for older cats?

Also, I completely agree with anyone who feels you shouldn’t have a pet if you aren’t going to properly care for it, and vet visits are involved in proper care for a pet. We have tried to explain to his family that pets need doctors too, but our words fall on deaf ears.

Answer by Human Exorcist
Hmmm. I have a suspicion that cat is under a lot of pressure. Guess it’s completely normal for a cat to feel nervous – especially when he’s old.

Just asking, do they have an evil, muscular, thugg-ish dog next door? Maybe the kitty’s worried about getting mugged one day.
