Working
with your Veterinary Surgeon, preventative healthcare far outweighs curative
treatments. Preventative care helps in terms of a higher quality of life
for your pet and significant financial savings, long term, for you. Many
Veterinary Practices offer free healthcare clinics and advice to support
your best friend, from cradle to grave. Please contact your practice for
details.
A full comprehensive clinical examination normally
carried out by your Veterinary Surgeon and included as part of the cost
in your cat's annual vaccination. Your Vet will also perform an examination,
when you take your cat for a consultation on any other issue or concern
with their health.

to their practice at any time and if you have a grave concern, please
speak to your Vet Practice before you go. Please try not to be too concerned,
your vet is specialised in handling cats and catering for their needs,
they are expects in remaining calm and controlled to give your cat a pleasant
and less stressful visit. A number of relaxation techniques are used by
Vets to calm your cat.
Your Vet will use this examination to look for
signs of ill health such as infections, the presence of parasites or identify
the nature of any lumps or bumps. They will also take the opportunity
to identify potential problems, which may need treatment or further investigations
now to prevent them from developing into something more serious or life
threatening for your animal. The ideal result of this examination is when
the Vet can give your Pet a clean bill of health and advise you on the
appropriate care to maintain their healthy status.
This time is also an ideal opportunity for you
to ask your Vet or Veterinary nurse any questions relating to your cats
health or lifestyle, such as, nutrition, worming, flea control training
and weight control.
Likewise, it is always worthwhile to take in a
fresh specimen of urine in a clean container, for your vet to check.
If your cat is over 7 years of age, you may want
to consider taking them for a health check more frequently than once a
year, at vaccination time. |
