Regular checkups for cats are very important, cats are healthy! The internal metabolism of the cat's body is a process of continuous updating and changing. Different manifestations will occur as the feeding progresses. These manifestations may be that the body becomes stronger and has better development, or they may be some underlying disease symptoms. These early disease symptoms are often easier to ignore, which may cause greater harm. Therefore, to avoid this, it is important for cats to check regularly.
Regular examinations require a time to determine. Generally speaking, pet cats aged 1 year is actually equivalent to 7-year-old humans and need to undergo a health examination once a year. When pet cats enter adulthood, the frequency of physical examinations should be increased. Like humans, when cats enter old age, examinations should be conducted more frequently to prevent and treat some diseases in advance. Annual inspections for cats are not just about the treatment of vaccines and diseases, but more importantly, monitoring and prevention. Cats are good at hiding their discomforts. Many times, their owners often find that their babies are abnormal after their condition worsens. Regular annual inspections are conducive to parents and veterinarians to identify potential problems as early as possible and conduct purposeful intervention and prevention. For example, middle-aged adults will have periodontal disease to a greater or lesser extent. If periodontal disease allows it to develop, it will not only cause oral inflammation, but will also cause serious problems in other organs of the body such as the heart, kidneys, and liver. As the saying goes, good teeth, good health, and good eating!
So how often should I read it? Cats of different ages should follow different principles: because kittens under one year old need to be vaccinated and sterilized, they may go to the veterinary office to report many times in the first year of entering the door. If adults do not have any diseases, annual annual inspections are enough; when cats enter old age, it is recommended to frequently encounter twice a year to ensure that the disease can be detected as soon as possible and treated.
Urine and blood tests during annual annual examinations can detect early kidney disease, urinary tract infection, liver disease, diabetes, thyroid disease, and even cancer as early as possible. Initiate control and treatment in the early stages of the disease, not only will the treatment cost be relatively cheap, but the success rate of the baby's cure is also high. During a physical examination, the veterinarian will need a series of medical history information about your cat. Don’t forget to provide abnormal information that will occur in your cat’s daily life, such as: cough, diarrhea, eating more than usual, drinking abnormally, asthma, scratching, urinating, vomiting, weight changes, etc. Depending on the environment you live in, the cat's lifestyle, age and other factors, the veterinarian may ask about the cat's contact with fleas, heartworms or intestinal parasites, and develop a prevention plan for the cat. Please remember to keep these precautions clear one by one when performing a physical examination on the cat to ensure the health of your cat.
Of course, we can go to the pet hospital for a detailed examination, or we can first understand the physical condition of the cat at home, such as observing mental state, observing urination and defecation, observing eye hair, etc. The unique symptoms of different cats are also different. For example, cats may experience drowsiness, fever, runny nose, and sneezing when catching a cold; vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc. Therefore, in your spare time, the owner should know more about the different symptoms of different cats' diseases, so that he can more accurately judge whether the cat is healthy.
