Cat Health Exams

Each year, you should get a cat exam for your kitty. This is a routine exam, similar to a physical for a human. Having an exam done can prevent many diseases and illnesses that could have gone undetected without such an exam. The procedure is relatively quick and only lasts about twenty minutes. During this exam, your cat will be weighed, have their temperature taken and have their teeth looked at as well as getting their eyes and ears checked.

When your cat is in the exam room, this is the time to mention to your veterinarian any questions or bring up any concerns that you may have about how your cat has been acting. Depending on what kind of cat you have, they may have their hips checked or their wrinkles cleaned as well. Be sure to ask about diet as well as any kind of treats you should be giving your cat, if any.

Update your cat's shots while you are getting a cat exam. It is important to make sure that your cat is up-to-date on feline leukemia shots as well as rabies. Be sure to get tags for your cat so that they will not be hauled to "cat jail" at the animal shelter if they get picked up.
