Preventive Care

  His Weight Seems To Be Changing For No Reason Even when on a diet, weight loss is normally very gradual. Things that could cause rapid weight loss include dental or oral disease. Weight gain, meanwhile, often results from eating too many cal-ories, but it could also be caused by fluid accumulating in the chest or abdomen.
• Comprehensive Examination
  We often find red flags with conditions such as dental disease or ongoing tummy trouble. The physical exam and questions about home life at your cat’s checkup is a time for us to try to look for those subtle indications that tell us how your cat really is–and if they are hiding anything. Each stage of a cat’s life has a certain set of problems that could occur. Finding and diagnosing medical issues early can really help us to treat and manage these issues–or better yet, head them off entirely.
