Take your new kitten to the veterinarian for a thorough checkup, which includes:
A review of your kitten’s history. Your vet will likely want to know where you found your new pet (such as a breeder or a rescue organization) and any other previous medical care she may have received, such as vaccinations or spay/neuter surgery.
A thorough exam of the kitten’s mouth, ears and eyes, followed by an exam of the kitten’s body, gently feeling the abdomen, lymph nodes, joints and skin. Observations of the kitten’s movements.
Collection of a stool sample, which you may have been asked to bring to the appointment. The vet may also take a blood sample.
Recommendation for spay or neuter surgery if the kitten has not already been spayed or neutered. These procedures help prevent future behavior and medical problems.https://cdn-fokha.nitrocdn.com/hbmoLwaSLycbfCwNLuVBWmSfDtWxCihU/assets/static/optimized/rev-3a23c36/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/A-playful-kitten.jpg.optimal.jpg
