CAT HEALTH
What is cat health? We sometimes use the term health just to refer to a state of physical well-being. In reality, health can be good or health can be bad. The reason I make this distinction is to stress the idea that it's important to practice preventative medicine when your cat is in good health, not just seek help when your kitty develops symptoms of bad health.
We learned long ago how important preventative medicine and early diagnosis is to people. Many pet owners are, unfortunately, still behind in the knowledge and practice of preventative care for cats.
There are as many parts in a cat's body that must be kept healthy as there are in our own. Only in the past several years have cat owners been made aware of this. For example, during my first few years in private practice, when I mentioned cleaning a cat's teeth to the owner, I was most often met with a look of disbelief. "Cats need their teeth cleaned?" I heard that over and over, day after day, month after month for a few years. Now, most of my clients actually come in and "remind me" to check their kitty's teeth, forgetting that I'm the one that first made them aware. I don't mind. In fact, I'm very happy that there is more awareness of
cat dentistry
and other health issues these days.
Dentistry is only one of many cat health topics a knowledgeable cat owner needs to be aware of. Viruses, bacterial infections, organ dysfunction or failure, cancer, traumatic injuries, and many other conditions can affect your cat. If it can happen to a person, it can probably happen to your cat.
For that reason, you are going to find endless articles, questions and answers, pictures, diagrams, and preventative product recommendations on this website. It really is endless. There are hundreds, thousands probably, of cat health topics to cover and new research findings, new medications, new treatments every day. For that reason, this website will continually be updated with new information.
