🐱 Understanding Arthritis in Cats: Signs, Symptoms, and Care 🦴🐈

Arthritis isn’t just a condition that affects humans—it can also impact our feline friends, especially as they age. Arthritis can cause discomfort and limit your cat’s mobility, but with the right care, you can help them live comfortably. Here’s what you need to know about arthritis in cats:

Signs and Symptoms of Arthritis in Cats:
🔹Decreased Mobility: Notice your cat having trouble jumping onto surfaces or climbing stairs? This could be a sign of arthritis.
🔹Stiffness: Arthritic cats may show signs of stiffness, especially after resting or in cold weather.
🔹Limping or Favoring a Leg: Keep an eye out for limping or favoring one leg over the other, which could indicate joint pain.
🔹Behavioral Changes: Cats in pain may become irritable or withdrawn. Changes in behavior could be a sign of discomfort.

Managing Arthritis in Cats:
🐾Consult Your Vet: If you suspect your cat has arthritis, schedule a vet visit for a thorough examination and diagnosis.
🐾Medication: Your vet may prescribe medications or supplements to help manage your cat’s pain and inflammation.
🐾Weight Management: Extra weight puts added stress on joints. Your vet can recommend a diet and exercise plan to help your cat maintain a healthy weight.
🐾Environmental Modifications: Make your home more accessible for your arthritic cat by providing ramps or steps to help them reach their favorite spots.
🐾Comfortable Bedding: Provide soft, supportive bedding to cushion your cat’s joints and make resting more comfortable.
🐾Gentle Exercise: Encourage low-impact activities like gentle play sessions or short walks to help keep your cat’s joints mobile.

Prevention and Early Intervention:

Kristina's cat Cinnamon, is here to discuss why regular blood work is a crucial aspect of your cat's healthcare routine, providing valuable insights into their overall health and well-being. Here’s why blood work is so important for our feline friends:

Early Detection of Health Issues:
-Detecting Diseases: Blood work can uncover underlying health conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and liver problems, often before symptoms appear.

-Electrolyte Levels: Imbalances can indicate dehydration, kidney disease, or other health issues.

🐾 Caring for Your Senior Cat: Special Considerations for Older Felines 🐾

As our beloved cats age, their needs change, and they require a little extra care to ensure they remain happy and healthy. This week, we're focusing on the unique needs of senior cats and how you can help your aging feline friend live their best life.

Tips for Senior Cat Care:

- Regular Vet Visits: As cats age, they become more susceptible to health issues. Regular check-ups are crucial to catch any potential problems early. We recommend bi-annual vet visits for senior cats.

-Weight Management: Obesity can lead to numerous health issues in older cats, including diabetes and arthritis. Monitor your cat's weight and adjust their diet and exercise accordingly.
- Comfortable Living Environment: Provide soft, accessible resting places to ease joint pain and stiffness. Ensure your cat’s favorite spots are easy to reach.
- Joint Health: Arthritis is common in senior cats. Supplements such as glucosamine and omega-3 fatty acids can support joint health. Consult with us for recommendations.
-Dental Care: Dental health is crucial for senior cats. Regular brushing and dental check-ups can prevent painful dental diseases.
-Hydration: Older cats are prone to kidney issues. Ensure your cat has access to fresh water at all times and consider a water fountain to encourage drinking.
-Mental Stimulation: Keep your senior cat's mind active with gentle play, interactive toys, and new experiences. Mental stimulation is important for their overall well-being.
-Monitor Changes: Be vigilant about changes in your cat’s behavior, appetite, and litter box habits. Any changes could be a sign of underlying health issues that need attention.

Our staff is dedicated to providing compassionate care for cats of all ages. If you have any concerns about your senior cat or want to schedule a wellness check-up, don’t hesitate to contact us.

A frequently asked question of the day‼️What are a**l glands? 🤔

A**l glands, also known as a**l sacs, are small glands located on either side of your pet's a**s. These glands produce a strong-smelling secretion that helps with scent marking and communication in dogs and cats.

Signs that your pet may be experiencing a**l gland problems include scooting, excessive licking, or a foul odor. Seeking professional assistance ensures safe and effective expression, preventing injury or infection. During expression, professionals can identify any abnormalities or infections in the a**l gland area that may require further attention. 🐱🐶 **lglandeducation

Veterinary laser therapy is an innovative treatment used similarly to acupuncture, massage therapy, and other alternative therapies. Laser treatment can be used in conjunction with or in place of medication to manage pain, inflammation, and wound healing. A technician will hold the laser wand directly over the affected area for somewhere between 3 and 10 minutes. There is no pain associated with the treatment and most dogs will relax during this time 🐶 Our sweet patient Emmie comes in weekly for laser treatments with our technician Brittany! Her comfort level has greatly improved since starting laser. 🐾
