Visits to the vet should become routine
Whether you have a healthy senior cat or one that is not exactly in good condition, you have to see the vet more often than before. According to animal experts, you should take your pet to the vet at least every six months. Make a list of questions for your vet and notice any behavioral changes.
“A lot can change in that time,” says Jeanne Pittari, DVM, DABVP. “Getting to know a cat and its owner facilitates a strong working relationship, allowing me to do my absolute best to meet the needs of each individual patient.”
“You know your cat and its routines better than anyone. If your cat has difficulty going up or down steps, does not jump like it used to, or any other changes, we want to know in order to make recommendations,” explains Ilona Rodan, DVM, DABVP.
