Routine blood work is also recommended to screen your cat for certain illnesses and diseases. It\u2019s best to catch things early and\/or get a baseline when your cat is \u201chealthy\u201d to have abnormal results to compare to!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most common viruses and diseases in cats are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Feline Lower Urinary Tract Diseases (FLUTD)<\/li><li>Upper Respiratory Infections (Contagious)<\/li><li>Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) (Contagious)<\/li><li>Feline leukemia (Contagious)<\/li><li>Flea allergy dermatitis (FAD)<\/li><li>Wounds<\/li><li>Diabetes<\/li><li>Thyroid disease<\/li><li>Eye infections<\/li><li>GI upset<\/li><li>Tapeworms<\/li><li>Ringworm<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have more than one cat, it\u2019s especially important to see a vet sooner than later so that contagious illness doesn\u2019t spread in your household.Bring your cat by PetWellClinic today for a thorough physical exam to ensure that your kitty stays happy and healthy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Often Should I Take My Cat to the Vet?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How often you visit the vet depends somewhat on how old your cat is and if you are noticing any signs of illness. For any concerns of illness or disease, we recommend bringing your pet in as soon as you notice symptoms. For routine visits, if you have a kitten (up to a year old), you should start your visits every 3-4 weeks for vaccinations and medications. We offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petwellclinic.com\/wp\/puppy-and-kitten-packages\/\">kitten packages<\/a> to make your life as a new pet owner easier. We recommend starting their vaccinations between 6-8 weeks of age to ensure your kitten\u2019s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your cat is between the ages of 1 and 7, you can visit just once a year. Once they hit 7 years old, you\u2019ll want to start coming in for a visit twice a year due to the complications associated with aging and possible recurring illnesses.\u00a0Before you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petwellclinic.com\/wp\/2022\/02\/15\/pets-first-trip-to-vet\/\">visit the vet for the first time<\/a>, make sure to be prepared. Your vet will ask questions about your cat\u2019s health and behavior, so jot down any issues you\u2019re concerned about. You\u2019ll also want an up-to-date list of any vaccinations your cat has had.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions to Ask Your Vet During Your First Visit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a new cat parent, you may have questions for your veterinarian about caring for your pet. If you\u2019re not sure where to start, try asking a few or all of the following questions:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What does this wellness visit include?<\/li><li>What vaccinations are necessary, and when should I schedule them?<\/li><li>What is the right age to spay or neuter my cat?<\/li><li>What types of preventative medication should I use, and how often are they administered?<\/li><li>How do I care for my cat\u2019s teeth?<\/li><li>What is the best food for my cat?<\/li><li>How do I get my kitten to use the litter box?<\/li><li>Do I need to do anything special to groom my cat?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Get Your Cat to the Vet Safely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important and useful things you can own as a cat parent is a good cat carrier. Going to the vet can be a stressful experience for your cat no matter how mild-mannered he or she is. Cats are by nature independent and territorial, and are notorious for needing to be in control of their surroundings.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petwellclinic.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/PWC-Blog-Photos-1-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18426\" width=\"223\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petwellclinic.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/PWC-Blog-Photos-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.petwellclinic.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/PWC-Blog-Photos-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.petwellclinic.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/PWC-Blog-Photos-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.petwellclinic.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/PWC-Blog-Photos-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.petwellclinic.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/PWC-Blog-Photos-1-570x570.png 570w, https:\/\/www.petwellclinic.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/PWC-Blog-Photos-1-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/www.petwellclinic.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/PWC-Blog-Photos-1-1000x1000.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.petwellclinic.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/PWC-Blog-Photos-1-700x700.png 700w, https:\/\/www.petwellclinic.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/PWC-Blog-Photos-1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\" \/><figcaption>Invest in a cat carrier to bring your cat safety to and from the vet<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>They can also be sensitive to smells. All of this adds up to an uncomfortable situation for your cat. Add in not feeling well, and it\u2019s a recipe for disaster if you bring your cat to the vet without a carrier and a plan.\u00a0A pet carrier will not only make your cat easier to manage inside the vet\u2019s office, but it also keeps them safe while you\u2019re driving. Make sure that it\u2019s small enough that they don\u2019t hurt themselves if you come to a sudden stop. And drive carefully! You\u2019re storing precious cargo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the carrier covered so that your cat isn\u2019t distracted and possibly stressed. This should help keep them calm.\u00a0If possible, get your cat used to the carrier early on. That way, they won\u2019t associate the carrier with trips to the vet and become distressed when they\u2019re inside of it.\u00a0Bringing your cat to the vet is important for their overall health and for your peace of mind. Even if your cat stays indoors, regular vet visits will ensure that they get the vaccinations they need, and enable you to detect any health issues that may be developing before it&#8217;s too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petwellclinic.com\/wp\/about-us\/\">PetWellClinic<\/a> is dedicated to being here for our patients and their owners.
