Mokum Mobile Vet A house call veterinarian for cats (and some dogs) in Amsterdam

Kind words from happy people 🫶

This week I visited Kelso for a health check as he had been drinking a lot more water recently. Kelso was quite chill during the entire visit, including when we collected blood from him for a senior health test.

For the blood test, we screened for common causes of polydipsia (increased thirst) in senior cats, including diabetes, kidney issues, and hyperthyroidism.

During a previous vet clinic visit, Kelso had gotten so stressed out that he developed bladder inflammation and obstruction afterward from the stress. This health check at home was much less stressful without compromising his medical care. Win-win!

Serge Mellow acting *fairly* mellow wrapped up in a while on a bit of calming medicine (Bonqat). He’s normally a bit spicy🌶️ but today we really needed to trim his nails, check his teeth and deworm him. So, here comes the kitty swaddle & Bonqat to the rescue 🙌🏽

I’m pleased to share that I am now a Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Veterinarian through the Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy. This certification reflects my commitment to providing compassionate, gentle end-of-life care for pets and support for the families who love them.

Through this specialized training, I’ve learned how to make every moment as peaceful and comfortable as possible, honoring each pet’s unique spirit. For you, as their caretaker, this means having a compassionate partner who understands the importance of empathy, comfort, and respect during this difficult time.

When the time comes, I’m here to guide you through this journey, honoring your special bond and ensuring your beloved companion receives the gentle farewell they deserve. 🤍

Nothing quite like having your senior health check done at home in your favorite cardboard box, right, Amleto? 🤌🏽

🐾 October is Senior Cat Month! 🐾 As our feline friends age, their health needs change, and regular check-ups become even more important. Conditions like kidney disease, arthritis, and dental problems can develop in older cats, often without obvious signs.

Senior cats are masters at hiding discomfort, but subtle changes—like sleeping more, eating less, or avoiding their favorite high spots—can signal bigger health issues. For instance, your cat may still sit on their favorite perch, but if you watch closely, you might notice they’re taking a longer route up instead of jumping directly.

Many cats get very anxious about vet visits. That's why a house call is a great option for senior cat care. In their familiar environment, we can observe and discuss subtle changes that can be easy to miss. Plus, there’s less stress and more time for us to discuss your senior cat’s specific health needs.

🍁 This month, honor Senior Cat Month by paying close attention to your aging cat’s habits and consider scheduling a low-stress house call for their next check-up.

October is Senior Cat Month! 🐾 Did you know cats are considered seniors at 10-11 years old, and those 14 years and older are known as *super seniors*?

Thanks to advancements in veterinary medicine, caretaking, and nutrition our feline friends are living longer, healthier lives. In fact, feline life stages have recently been redefined—cats are now thriving well beyond what we once considered their senior years (7 years+).

Curious how your cat’s age translates to human years? Check out this helpful comparison chart from International Cat Care: How to Tell Your Cat's Age in Human Years: https://icatcare.org/advice/how-to-tell-your-cats-age-in-human-years/

Do you have a senior cat at home? Share their story with me — I'd love to hear about them!

Just one of those days in #Amsterdam

I will gladly get cat hair in my eyes for a little head bump from Charlie 🥰

For World Pet Memorial Day today, I’m honoring my best boy, Murray, who passed away last June. Nearly a year ago and there hasn’t been a day where I haven’t missed him. This past year has been a difficult one after suddenly losing him. Some people say pet loss grief is unlike any other grief. Now I know this deeply. If you know me well, you also know Murray. He was known to lay belly up most the time. And was known to meet many self-proclaimed dog people and make them think otherwise. We found each other during vet school in 2009 (before Ben and I started dating). Murrman had been there through long nights of studying/laying on my laptop/biting my highlighters, through many moves (Champaign > Chicago > Santa Barbara > Santa Cruz > Amsterdam, and many intercity moves as well). He was there when Ben was away for 3 years in Germany. Murphy was there when we learned I was pregnant with our daughter just a couple of weeks after moving to Amsterdam (and a couple of weeks before the first COVID lockdown). During his final years, he continued to lay on my keyboard during remote working, delighting coworkers during many virtual meetings. He was there on my pregnant belly for 9 months, there next to our daughter as she breastfed and napped, there next to us during her bedtime stories, and there curled up in my arms as we fell asleep each night. We sure had a couple of rough years between the pandemic and postpartum, and he most certainly made those years better. Murray had been with me for almost half my entire life, making each day better 🐾✨And for that I am forever grateful 🤍
