Feline Fun Fact Friday: All About Heartworms 🐾

Feline heartworm disease is a serious condition that’s difficult to detect, challenging to treat, and even fatal. Here’s what every cat owner should know:

What Are Heartworms?
Heartworms are parasites transmitted by mosquitoes. The infection rate of unprotected cats is approximately 30%, with 1 in 4 heartworm-positive cats being indoor-only cats.

Symptoms to Watch For 🐱
Cats with heartworms may show a wide range of symptoms, which can appear suddenly or be mistaken for other conditions. Some cats show no signs at all, while others may experience:
- Coughing or wheezing
- ⁠Vomiting unrelated to food
- ⁠Rapid or difficult breathing
- ⁠Lethargy or reduced activity levels
- ⁠Loss of appetite and weight loss
- ⁠Seizures
- ⁠Sudden collapse or even sudden death

The Challenge of Testing 🩺
Diagnosing feline heartworm is complex since no single test detects all stages of infection. Due to testing limitations, some cats may remain undiagnosed despite showing symptoms.

Why Prevention is Vital 🛡️
Unlike in dogs, there is no approved treatment for heartworms in cats. Preventing infection is the only way to protect your feline friend. Administering year-round heartworm prevention is the best safeguard. Call us at (352) 376-2287 to discuss prevention options📞

Bottom Line: Heartworms are preventable, but not treatable in cats. Let’s keep our kitties safe—one dose of prevention at a time! 🐾❤️

Feline Fun Fact Friday: Understanding Diabetes in Cats 🐾💉

November is National Pet Diabetes Month, so let’s talk about feline diabetes, a condition that’s becoming more common in cats. Here’s what every cat parent needs to know:

What is Feline Diabetes?
Feline diabetes, or diabetes mellitus, occurs when a cat’s body can’t properly regulate blood sugar due to insufficient or ineffective insulin production. This imbalance can lead to high blood sugar levels, which can cause complications affecting the heart, kidneys, and nerves.

Which Cats Are at a Higher Risk?
• Male cats
• Cats over 7 years old
• Overweight or obese cats
• Cats with conditions like hyperthyroidism or kidney disease
• Cats taking corticosteroid medications

Signs and Symptoms to Watch For:
• Weight loss despite a healthy appetite
• Increased thirst or drinking from unusual places
• Frequent urination or accidents outside the litter box
• Sticky or hard-to-clean urine
• Increased appetite or begging for food
• Lethargy or reduced activity
• Walking on heels instead of toes (plantigrade stance)
If your cat shows any of these signs, schedule a visit with your veterinarian📞

Diagnosing Diabetes 🩺
Your veterinarian will evaluate your cat with a thorough exam and diagnostic tests, which may include: Blood glucose tests, urine tests, and fructosamine testing.

Managing Diabetes
Diabetes is manageable, and many cats can live happy, healthy lives with the right care. Treatment typically involves dietary changes, glucose monitoring, and medications like insulin or other new options such as Senvelgo. Routine glucose checks, fructosamine testing, and keeping a daily log of food, water intake, and behavior are vital. Every cat is unique, so your veterinarian will help tailor the plan to meet your cat’s needs.

Why Routine Care Matters
If left untreated, diabetes can lead to serious
complications like nerve damage, pain, and even life-threatening conditions. However, with proper management, regular monitoring, and routine check ups, many diabetic cats can live long, happy lives.

If you think your cat may be showing signs of diabetes or you have questions about prevention and care, give us a call at (352) 376-2287 🐾💛
