January 30, 2004, Newsletter Issue #79: Annual Checkups
Tip of the Week
Be sure to take your cat to the vet for a checkup at least once a year, even if your kitty seems to be healthy at the time.
During these annual checkups, your vet will give your kitty a thorough physical exam, which should include: Examination of the catīs body, from nose to tail; Weighing kitty and taking its temperature; Listening to the cats heart and lungs; Checking for abnormal discharges from any bodily orifices, including eyes and nose; Checking its teeth, gums and ears; Inspecting for parasites and abscesses; Feeling the cats internal organs.
A stool sample will be tested for parasites, and any needed vaccinations or booster shots will then be administered.
Annual exams are important to keep your cat`s good health, and to catch any serious ailments before they become a problem.
Until next week,
