The most of the time, all your cat actually needs is decent shelter, food, and access to lots of water to be healthy. No matter what you do, cats may sometimes become ill like other living creatures.
You should give your cat the greatest food possible if you own a cat. The best cat food is premium cat food since it is designed to keep your cat happy and healthy. To determine when he's ill and when to take him to the vet, you'll also need to pay attention to his behavior. A vet may make the difference between your cat's life and death in rare instances, but the majority of more typical illnesses and maladies are minor.
One of the most important things to consider when figuring out whether or not your cat is sick is how he behaves. You should take him to the vet right away if he starts acting lethargic, is lounging about all the time, is low in energy, or isn't eating. You should also keep an eye on his coat. Contact your veterinarian as soon as you can if you find his coat is dull and uneven or if he is shedding unusually.
Even with a simple illness, vomiting and diarrhea may sometimes occur. On the other hand, you should call your veterinarian if your cat seems to be doing any of the two for more than a day. Coughing is also frequent since it will cause hairballs to fall out. Have your cat examined as soon as possible if he seems to be coughing for another cause.
You should constantly make sure that your cat has the necessary immunizations to prevent exposure to different infections. Rabies and feline distemper are only two of the illnesses for which immunizations are necessary. One of the most dangerous illnesses a cat may get is feline distemper, yet it is also one of the most easily avoided. Cats are extremely quickly affected by the illness, giving you very little time to seek treatment.
Another very dangerous illness, feline leukemia, may be stopped in its early stages with the right immunizations. Although it cannot be transmitted to humans, the illness may spread among cats quite fast. Nowadays, there are vaccines that may cure the condition, but you should still use caution and avoid exposing other cats to a cat that has feline leukemia.
Worms are another another issue that often affects cats that live outside. Typically, cats with worms have dull coats and little to no appetite. Worms come in a variety of varieties, such as ringworm and hookworm. Worms may be spread by fleas, lice, or even by cats eating the organs of deceased rodents. The eggs are often digested by the cat, and as they develop, they adhere to the intestines' walls. Garlic may aid in your cat's worm prevention if you give it to him often during feedings.
Your cat will probably live a long life if you take good care of him. Always make sure he eats well and doesn't skip any of his planned veterinary exams. He should be protected from many pests and illnesses if he receives the correct immunizations when they are needed. Making the right preparations with your cat now will save anything from occurring later.
