Abstract
Invertebrates are becoming more popular and, as collections age, clients may seek veterinary intervention where the welfare of the animal must be considered. This article covers aging in many invertebrate species but with a focus on species likely to be seen in general practice. Supportive care may be an option to prolong life, but euthanasia must be considered for invertebrates with age-related unmanageable conditions.
