Adult Cat Wellness Program (l-6yrs)

The mischievous era of kittenhood is well behind you and things can start to settle down now. You and your cat have developed a unique lifestyle and we strive to tailor our preventative healthcare to that lifestyle. Here's where we need your input to help develop a unique wellness program. While preventative medicine comprises most of these years, there are some diseases that turn up at an early age. Our program helps us to detect these diseases and provide appropriate treatment at an early stage.

To help us detect any problems and provide the best care for your cat, we recommend the following at your adult cat's yearly visit to our clinic:

• Thorough "Teeth-To-Tail" wellness exam
  
  • Check for significant weight change, and assess condition of muscles, joints, legs and spine
    
  • Palpate abdomen for abnormal masses or tenderness
    
  • Palpate thyroid and lymph nodes for signs of tumors or infections
    
  • Listen for heart murmurs, irregular heartbeats and abnormal lung sounds
    
  • Examine eyes for cataracts, glaucoma, ulcers, inflammation or other ocular disorders
    
  • Check nose and nasal passages for signs of upper respiratory disease or allergies
    
  • Evaluate teeth, tongue and palate, plus check color and condition of gums
    
  • Make sure coat is healthy and well-groomed, check skin for infection, tumors, or external parasites
• Fecal exam for intestinal parasites
  
• Testing for Feline Leukemia/Feline AIDS viruses if needed
  
• Perform a basic blood chemistry panel and CBC to evaluate internal organ function and detect early diseases
• Update needed vaccinations based on risk exposure
• Discuss flea & heartworm prevention
  
• Discuss nutritional needs and make any needed adjustments
• Discuss behavioral history
• Discuss health insurance
  

Based on the health of your adult cat, we may recommend more frequent exams or additional testing. Some medications need to be periodically monitored. Our commitment to you is to provide the best quality care for your cat.
