🔹 How are my cat’s teeth cleaned?
🔸After the mouth is evaluated and diseased teeth noted on your cat’s medical chart, tooth scaling will be performed, using both hand and ultrasonic scalers, to remove tartar above and below the gum line.
🔸The tartar below the gum line causes the most significant periodontal disease, so its removal is important.
🔸If periodontal disease is advanced, it may not be possible to save badly affected teeth. These teeth will need to be extracted.
🔸After scaling, the teeth are polished to decrease the rate of subsequent plaque build-up.
🔺Meet “CoCo” the six year old DSH who was diagnosed with periodontal disease and scaling with ultrasonic scaler was done under general anesthesia.

🔹If you think your cat is pregnant you should visit a vet – so long as it doesn't cause undue stress to your pet - so they can determine for sure whether she's pregnant and ensure she is healthy. 🔸Depending on how long your cat has been pregnant our vet may even be able to tell you how many kittens you can expect. 🔹More importantly, our vets will also be able to advise you on the best way to care for your cat during pregnancy and help make sure that the birth is as comfortable as possible.

🔹There are a few vital reasons for neutering your cat.
🔸Neutered males are at a reduced risk of prostate problems and have no chance of testicular cancer. Neutered cats generally live twice as long as intact cats.
🔹Neutering can also reduce aggressive behavior that would otherwise result in fights and injuries and sexual behavior that can result in sexually transmitted diseases.
🔺Meet “Zeus” who was presented to us with the history of spraying and gradually increasing anger/behaviour issues and was neutered successfully.

🔹Why should I get my cat neutered?
There are lots of reasons why it’s a good idea. Here’s just a few:
🔸For male cats:
▪️Neutering reduces their chance of catching feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), an incurable disease similar to HIV in humans which is spread by saliva usually from bite wounds during fights.
▪️Unneutered cats that are confined can become frustrated and may try any escape route – including out of your top floor window.
▪️Neutering cats reduces their urge to roam and fight so they’re less likely to go missing, get hit by cars, or get hurt.
🔹Meet “Johnny” who’ve turned 6 months and neutered to save the above mentioned unwanted activities.

🔸Does your kitten have diarrhea?
🔹Ugh, every pet parent knows how uncomfortable (and messy!) the runs can be.
🔸 If you're caring for kittens who have diarrhea, please take it seriously. Loose, liquid stool is not normal for kittens and should be addressed within the day. Diarrhea might not seem like an emergency, but it can indicate something more serious, and its side effects can quickly lead to decline or even death in young kittens.
🔹Always consult a veterinarian to diagnose and treat your kitten's specific needs. There is no substitution for a visit with a vet.

🔹 During a routine wellness examination, our veterinarian will ask you questions about your cat's diet, exercise, thirst, breathing, behavior, habits, litterbox habits, lifestyle (indoors or outdoors), and general health.
🔸They will also perform a physical examination of your cat. Based on your pet's history and physical examination, our veterinarian will then make recommendations for specific preventive medicine treatments such as vaccination, parasite control (for both external parasites such as fleas, ticks and ear mites, and internal parasites such as worms or heartworm), nutrition, skin and coat care, joint health, weight management, or dental care.
🔹 In addition, your veterinarian will discuss your cat's individual circumstances and decide whether any other life-stage or lifestyle recommendations would be appropriate
🔸Meet “Coco” the rare odd eyed Persian who just visited us for a general health checkup and to get the first core vaccination shot.

🔹Even cats living totally indoors require regular vaccination as they may be exposed to diseases in many circumstances (such as travel or boarding, interaction with other cats, the addition of a new cat to the home, and even viruses carried on your clothing).
🔸Your veterinarian is the best person to evaluate your cat’s individual needs in order to discuss which vaccines are necessary and how often they should be given to provide the best protection for your cat.
🔹The vaccines your cat needs will depend on his health status, age, lifestyle, and what diseases are common.
Meet “Bhumi” who’s parents called our team at their doorstep to get him the very first vaccination shot and to discuss the hygiene needs.

🔹There are multiple causes of corneal ulcers in cats. The most common cause is trauma such as a cat rubbing its eye against a rough surface, or due to a laceration, such as a cat-claw scratch or contact with a sharp object such as a thorn.
🔸The second most common cause is chemical burn of the cornea. This may happen when irritating shampoos, other liquids, chemicals, or dust such as drywall dust gets in the eye.
🔹 Other causes of corneal ulcers include bacterial infections, viral infections, and other diseases. These conditions may originate in the eye or develop secondary to disease elsewhere in the body.
🔸Meet “Dyran” who’s been presented to us with the history of excessive lacrimal secretions after a fight and was diagnosed with corneal ulcers later on.

▪️At around four weeks old, kittens are ready to begin weaning. Under four weeks of age, kittens are considered neonatal and might not be ready for weaning from their mother’s milk or formula.
▫️When kittens are ready to wean, you may notice that they've become more mobile and can stand on their feet while holding up their tail. They'll also have their canines and incisors at this point and should be exploring their surroundings through play.
▪️If your kitten is unable to stand, play, or focus their eyes, it's too early to start weaning. At the very earliest, you may begin weaning at three weeks if the kitten shows signs of readiness. Keep a close eye on your kitten to make sure they’re getting enough food.

▪️Loss of appetite can occur due to many things including both illness and stress. If your cat is not eating as they do normally, consult your veterinary clinic promptly, as periods of reduced food intake can have negative effects on a cat’s health.
▫️Even short periods eating less (three days or more) can have significant effects on recovery from illness, wound healing and the immune system, and cats are also vulnerable to liver problems caused by lack of food (hepatic lipidosis).
▪️What you can do is to syringe-feed her or do assist-feeding to ensure that she is well-nourished. This is done by feeding your cat her usual wet food or prescribed cat food as recommended by the vet, through a syringe a few times during the day.
🔸Meet “Reo” an unvaccinated kitten who was presented to us with history of off feeding and compromised immunity,upon examination diagnosed to carry a viral infection in the starting phase. The kitten here is encouraged to feed by our vet to stabilise the gut and liver functions.
