Continuous Home-Centric Care for Luna, a Senior Pug with Chronic Health Conditions

Pet Profile

• Name: Luna
• Breed: Pug
• Age: 12 years
• Location: Mumbai
• Life Stage: Senior dog

Medical Background

Luna has a complex medical history, including:

• Recurrent vomiting episodes
• Gastritis
• Past history of urinary stones
• Cataract in eye

Over a period of time, vomiting followed a cyclical 15-day pattern, causing concern about long-term gastrointestinal stability and nutrition.

Luna’s pet parent, a single mother- also faced practical challenges in visiting clinics and arranging repeated diagnostic tests outside the home.

PawVerse Consultation & Care Planning

The pet parent reached out to PawVerse seeking clarity on:

• Diet suitable for a senior dog with gastritis and stone history
• Managing frequent vomiting episodes
• Understanding next medical steps without excessive clinic visits

PawVerse connected her with Dr. P. Choudhary, Senior veterinarian for a dietary and symptom-led consultation, followed by structured follow-ups.

Veterinary Guidance Provided

Dietary & Gastrointestinal Management

• A tailored diet plan suitable for senior dogs with gastritis
• Supportive therapies including homeopathy for stones and herbal supplements (such as Digyton), alongside conventional medical evaluation

Diagnostics & Accessibility Support

• Recommended blood tests to assess systemic health
• Understanding the pet parent’s constraints, PawVerse shared verified contacts for at-home diagnostic services, enabling testing without clinic travel

Senior Care Considerations

• Addressed cataract-related concerns
• Provided guidance on comfort, environment, and daily care appropriate for an ageing pug

Follow-Up & Emergency Support

During follow-up care, Luna experienced a seizure episode. The pet parent contacted PawVerse for guidance.

The veterinarian provided:

• Clear instructions on post-seizure care
• Diet recommendations aligned with neurological sensitivity
• Guidance on daily routines and red-flag symptoms requiring escalation

Outcome

With continuous support and follow-up:

• Vomiting episodes under check
• Diet tolerance
• Post-seizure care was stabilized
• Overall comfort and well-being improved

Most importantly, the pet parent felt supported, informed, and not alone while managing a senior dog with multiple conditions.

Why This Case Matters

• Shows that senior pets with chronic issues can be managed thoughtfully from home
• Demonstrates the value of follow-ups, diet, and preventive care
• Highlights support beyond medicine - access, logistics, and guidance
• Strong example of high-retention chronic care use cases
• Demonstrates PawVerse’s role in care coordination, not just teleconsultation
• Validates demand among urban, time-constrained households
• Shows platform value for ageing-pet management - a growing market segment

Key Takeaway

PawVerse enables continuous, responsible, and accessible veterinary care- especially for senior pets and families where traditional clinic-based care is difficult.

This is not episodic care. This is long-term pet health management with continuous follow-ups.
