🐱🐾Esme has come to the practice for her regular Blood Pressure check. Esme is a senior lady who developed Hypertension (high blood pressure) last summer. Since then she has been treated like a queen when she visits us. This ensures a calm and happy environment for an accurate reading.
Hypertension is a very serious condition in cats, it can cause multi organ strain which can lead to kidney disease, strain on the heart and brain. Blindness is also a high risk, with 50% of hypertensive cats have changes reported in their eyes.
This disease can be scary but, we are always here to answer any questions and always happy to check your cats blood pressure, all you have to do is call. Blood pressure can be taken as easy as Esme is demonstrating from a leg or even tail.
We are looking forward to seeing Esme again, our fluffy little squishy 🥰
