At What Point Do I Need To I Take My Kitten to See a Cat Doctor?
One of the more glaring mistakes new cat owners make is not visiting the veterinarian for a routinephysical check-up. Many folks are under the impression that the single time they have to see a veterinarian is when the kitten is ill or hurt. Lamentably this misconception can be deleterious to the health of your pet. Proper care for your kitty involves more than food, water and a clean litter box.
As with children there are many illnesses that will be prevented by getting correct vaccination shots. Most vets advocate that cats get them right after they are born. These shots can protect your kitten from heartworm, FIV and other sicknesses that can negatively affect the health of your cat. During your visit your veterinarian will cover in detail the counseled vaccination schedule. The vaccines your doctor suggests will be based totally on whether the cat will be kept indoors or outside. Also whether other pets are kept in the house is a factor. By giving your vet this information they’re going to be ready to administer the correct vaccines to give your cat the best protection.
Even if your kitten is an indoor kitty it is wise to keep abreast of a once a year visit to the vet. This can help you keep watch on your pets health as well as uncover any issues in advance and also get the correct booster vaccines administered.
Another good reason to take your feline in for routine checks is that you may not know that there are a few things wrong with your kitten, but your vet is trained and can learn if there are any possible difficulties. Also if you’ve been taking your kitten to them for a period of time, they will have your cats entire history, and most will know your moggy and will recognize if something appears to be different on that particular visit. Aid your vet during your felines exam exam by noting any changes that you may have observed in your pussy since the last visit. You may not think that it is peculiar or that there’s not a problem with your moggy, but it’ll help in deciding your kitten’s overall health. Any changes in your cat may not mean anything, but it is good to keep your vet informed of changes as they can write it down for any future reference in case something does arise and wishes attention.
There may come a point when you will need to arrange an appointment veterinarian before it is time for the subsequent booked checkup for boosters. There are still illnesses the boosters do not prevent, so take your feline chum in for a special visit. There will also be other issues that though not life-threatening, should not be ignored, that you’ll need to test your cat for, such as fleas and ticks. Our kittens get given treatment for fleas when they require it. I didn’t have to before, but we probably did bring a dog into the family and with him came fleas. So we do treat every one of them or fleas, and I am getting a popular flea treatment from my vet.
It is very important for yourcat’s health and well being that you make routine appointments with the vet to receive their booster shots and an overall check. It will keep them healthy and happy, and they’ll reward you with lots of love.
