Check your cat

Regular check-ups for cats are very important. Cats are healthy! The internal metabolism of a cat’s body is a process of constant updating and change. There will be different manifestations as the feeding progresses. These manifestations It may be that the body has become stronger and developed well, or it may be some underlying disease symptoms. These early disease symptoms are often easier to ignore, which may cause greater harm. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, regular check-ups for cats are important.

Regular examinations need to be determined at a certain time. Generally speaking, a 1-year-old pet cat is actually equivalent to a 7-year-old human being. It needs to undergo a physical examination every year. When the pet cat enters adulthood, The frequency of physical examinations should be increased. Like humans, when cats enter their senior years, they should undergo more frequent check-ups to prevent and treat some diseases in advance. The annual check-up of cats is not only about vaccines and disease treatment, but more importantly, monitoring and prevention. Cats are very good at hiding their discomfort, and many times owners only discover that their babies are behaving abnormally after their condition worsens. Regular annual inspections help parents and veterinarians detect potential problems as early as possible and carry out targeted intervention and prevention.

If periodontal disease is allowed to progress, it will not only cause oral inflammation, but also cause serious problems in other organs of the body such as the heart, kidneys, and liver. As the saying goes, good teeth, great health, and delicious food!

So how often should you watch it? Cats of different ages should follow different principles: kittens under one year old may need to be vaccinated and neutered, so they may report to the veterinarian multiple times in the first year after entering the house. If the cat has no disease as an adult, , an annual examination is enough; when the cat enters old age, it is recommended that the frequency be twice a year to ensure that diseases can be detected and treated as early as possible.

Annual urine tests and blood tests can detect early kidney disease, urinary tract infections, liver disease, diabetes, thyroid disease, and even cancer as early as possible.
