The signs that your cat maybe sick include digestive problems such as lack of appetite, vomiting and diarrhea. Increased food and water consumption can also indicate internal organ problems. If your cat becomes lethargic, shows behavioral changes or has increased vocalizations, it needs to see the vet as soon as possible. If a cat begins biting or chewing at its skin, has nose or nasal discharge, begins wheezing or is breathing hard, your cat is sick or diseased. If your cat has difficulty moving around or is lame, holding up a paw, then they may be injured and need medical attention.

Signs of digestive problems in your animal include vomiting, diarrhea or soft stool, tummy pain or discomfort, or excess stomach and gas sounds. If any of these signs are present, your veterinarian can examine your pet to determine what test would be helpful to discover the cause of these digestive issues. The doctor can suggest remedies or treatments for your pet’s digestive ailments to relieve pain or discomfort and help cure your pet’s digestive issues. If digestive signs occur, it is imperative to quickly seek help from your vet so your pet does not have to be continually uncomfortable and quickly return your pet to good health.

Animals, including cats, dogs and exotic pets, help round out our daily life as we understand that we need to care for and attend to our pet friend’s needs. We all have cares and concerns, however, as we share our hearts with our pets we move away from self-reflection and self-assessment. Our pets require daily attention including feeding time, play time, exercise time, sleep time, holding and loving time, and time to relieve themselves. We are responsible for their wellbeing. All of this requires time and effort on our part, and therefore we share our day and our lives with our pet friends. We are therefore not alone, and we have companions that require our efforts and attention beyond our own needs and cares. Giving our hearts to pets has shown to improve mental health and longevity in people.

To help prevent health issues in your senior pet, you should have a daily awareness of their eating habits and activities for a general measure of how your older pet is feeling. If your senior pet has behavior changes this can indicate discomfort or medical problems. If your pet has loss of appetite, seems to sleep more, is lethargic, anxious, limping or shows discomfort being picked up, these are signs your senior pet is having problems and needs to be taken to the vet. Preventing health issues in your senior pet also includes feeding them good quality food, giving them daily exercise and maintaining an appropriate bodyweight. Dental health is paramount to maintaining your senior pets health, so if they have bad breath or difficulty chewing, take them to your veterinarian to have their teeth and mouth evaluated. Senior pets should have biannual check ups with your veterinarian to be made aware of any health issues that you cannot detect.

For most pet owners, pet insurance is an extremely worthwhile investment to help maintain the best possible care for their pet. There are many carriers of veterinary pet insurance which provides for payment of many medical and surgical needs for your pets. Nationwide, ASPCA and Trupanion are just a few examples of pet insurance companies that offer many different policies with different coverages, deductibles and premiums. With pet insurance, you are able to provide the best care for your pets on a regular basis. Pet insurance is the single most important purchase to make to be sure your pet gets all the care it needs, all the time.

The majority of veterinary practices do not provide payment plans because there are better sources to borrow money for a pet’s medical needs. Care credit and Sunbit are just a few examples of instant credit options available to owners. At the vets office, you can call or email one of these companies that will determine the dollar amount they will lend and what the payment schedule will be. Most of these companies provide very flexible payment plans. When you bring your pet to the veterinarian, discuss with them the payment options that are available, so you can provide the best care for your pets.

The state of California requires rabies immunization regularly for your dog.

If your dog is injured or ill, a veterinarian can examine your dog and provide the help necessary to make it feel better, get out of pain and heal. Even if your dog seems healthy, it is important that it is examined every year by a doctor and twice yearly for dogs over 7 years of age. Regular examinations are paramount to maintaining good health for your dog and if they are injured or ill, immediate treatments can often produce rapid results to help heal your dog and get it out of pain.

Annual examinations are necessary for every dog up to the age of 7. After 7 years of age it is important that your dog is examined by a doctor every six months or twice year. With regular examinations a veterinarian can detect potential problems early and get them treated so your dog can enjoy a long and healthy life. As for all of us, prevention is the best cure, especially when it pertains to the health of your best friend.
