Your Cat's Health

Picture
Of course if your cat displays any signs of illness, you should take him/her to your veterinarian immediately; however, there are certain things you can do for your cat at home to maintain good health. One simple but commonly over-looked step towards keeping your cat healthy is by taking him/her for an annual check-up. Even if you have switched to a three-year vaccination cycle, cats are excellent at hiding signs of illness, so having your vet thoroughly exam your cat once a year can help detect illnesses that may otherwise go unnoticed. It is vital to identify a condition as early as possible so proper treatment can be given, rather than diagnosing an illness in an advanced stage. Click on the additional menu bar subtabs for information pertaining to specific health-related topics.
