Cat symptoms and treatment
Our pets are part of the family. These tips will alert you about some common symtoms to be educated and aware.
After spending numerous hours and lots of money in the veterinarian's office, I learned some things that can be shared. Since the cat has a pretty small body, these symtoms need to be detected early so life can be a better quality. Watching for these might save the cat. Treatment will be offered in this article as well to direct you for the care of you feline.
All my life I have owned pets; both dogs and cats. I must admit that cats surely own me more than I own them.
There is a higher incidence of diabetes in cats because of the inner breeding. This information was told to me at the vets office when I took my 10 year old cat in for the following symptoms. Observing your cat for these symptoms of diabetes early, might be able to help you get help soon so treatment can begin for better health
1. Extreme thirst.
2. Some sudden loss of weight. You might see boney prominences around the spine and hip areas.
3. A general malaise different from usual cat napping.
4. Some annoyance with normal events and animals. Hissing or growling out of the ordinary.
5. High volumes of urine excreated. This is due to huge intake of water.
6. Very noticeable shedding. Actual clumps or bunches of fur found around the sleeping places of the cat.
7. Might have some diarrhea or change in bowel habits.
8. Extremely strong odor of stool along with some gas expelled other times too.
9. Fur seems to be clumping all over body. This might be dispersed especially on the sides of the stomach.
10. Lack of luster of the eyes. This is not easily detected unless you know your cat well.
My vet did a simple Glucose blood test that showed an elevated blood glucose and began treatment. With a 451 level, insulin was ordered by injection every morning along with a special veterinarian moist food to decrease the glucose to within normal limits. Because of early intervention, my cat responded quickly. I was told my cat would perhaps be able to be off daily injections and be diet controlled within a 2 month period. Be ready for some really expensive moist and dry food prices necessary to treat diabetes in felines. This diet will need to be maintained for the life of the cat.
