Diabetes in Cats can be seen in felines of all ages, breeds and sexes, however, at Avonvale Vets, we understand that it is more commonly seen in overweight cats and senior cats.
Cats
Maintaining the health of your cat through continuous flea treatment is a necessary and ongoing procedure. Regrettably, there are no instant solutions available. The primary issue with fleas lies in their ability to survive for months without a host.
Feeding your Kitten
A healthy diet, properly balanced in nutrients, is essential for the optimum growth and development of your kitten. The best way to achieve this is to feed an all in one diet.
Why vaccinate?
In common with human medicine the introduction of immunisation against several serious and often fatal diseases in cats has provided a widespread reduction in the incidences of these infectious conditions.
Cats are very sensitive creatures and have a need to express feelings of anxiety, insecurity or protection of their territory. Spraying is one of the ways they achieve this and in fact the majority of cats whether male, female or neutered will engage in spraying behaviour at some point in their lives.
Female Cats
Neutering for female pets is referred to as ‘spaying’. This is in effect an ovario-hysterectomy removing both the uterus and ovaries and so permanently preventing pregnancy.
Multi-cat Households
There are several things to consider if you are thinking about taking another cat into a household which already owns one or more cats. In the wild, cats often prefer to live alone, only forming groups where there are enough resources available to avoid competition.
