Why you're as important as the vet to your cat's health

You know your cat better than anyone else and, if you're at all concerned, you shouldn't hesitate to pick up the phone to your vet. It's always better to be safe than sorry and no vet will mind a false alarm.

When to call the vet

Call your vet if you notice any of the following:

  • Loss of appetite

  • Vomiting

  • Diarrhoea or constipation

  • Coughing, wheezing or difficulty breathing

  • Bleeding

  • Limping

  • Dirty eyes or ears

  • Lethargy, tiredness or less active

  • Excessive scratching or very red skin

  • Increased thirst

  • Difficulty passing urine

  • Crying in pain or mewing

  • Swollen legs or joints

  • Anything else that worries you.

The last of these is important.

  • Taking your cat to the vet

    As any caring cat owner knows, a routine visit to the vet is anything but routine. Regular examinations are the right thing to do, but try telling that to your cat.
  • What's your kittens idea of a nice break?

    Everyone loves a holiday. Or do they? Many cats really don't like travelling, but if they get used to it from an early age it's not normally a problem.
  • Seasonal Advice

    The changing seasons bring new adventures for your kitten, but also certain hazards.
  • Microchipping

    Your kitten shouldn't be allowed outside the home until she's completed her first course of vaccinations.
