1. Weight measurement: Weight is one of the important indicators to judge the health status of cats. Why is weight important? Because the cat's weight will be affected by diet and exercise. If cats suddenly become lighter or heavier, it may mean that their diet or exercise habits have changed, or there may be health problems. If cats are underweight, it may be because they have not eaten enough food, or they may have digestive problems. On the contrary, if the cat is overweight, it may be because it eats too much food or lacks exercise. This may lead to obesity in cats and increase health problems such as diabetes and joint diseases.
2. Visual inspection: Visual inspection is a very important part of cat physical examination. Veterinarians will check the cat's eyes, including the clarity of eyes, the size and shape of eyeballs, and whether there is gum or other abnormal phenomena. Visual inspection also includes observing pupil size and reaction, and checking whether there are signs of diseases such as redness and conjunctivitis. This can help us find and treat cat's eye problems as soon as possible and ensure the cat's vision and eye health. If the cat's eye is abnormal, we can intervene as soon as possible. I just found that my cat's eyes were often red and swollen, and then I took them for examination. Fortunately, I found it early and there was no danger, otherwise I didn't know what would happen to the cat.
3. Dental examination: Oral health is very important for the overall health of cats. Veterinarians will examine cats' teeth and gums to see if there are oral problems such as tartar, calculus and gingivitis. Oral problems will affect cats' eating and chewing ability, and may lead to other health problems. It will affect the cat's ability to eat and chew. If cats have oral pain or discomfort, they may be unwilling to eat or have difficulty chewing food. This may lead to malnutrition and weight loss. In addition, oral problems may also lead to other health problems, such as heart disease and kidney disease. So! Regular dental examination can help us find and treat oral problems early and ensure the oral health of cats. I said before why my cat doesn't eat canned cats. I thought I was picky about food. I bought many kinds, but I still didn't eat them. As a result, the cat's teeth are out of order.
4. fur inspection: in fur inspection, the veterinarian will check whether the cat's skin is red, swollen, itchy, festering or other inflammation. These may be signs of skin inflammation, which may be caused by bacteria, fungi or other reasons. Veterinarians also observe whether there are signs of scabies or other parasitic infections, such as fleas, fleas or mites. In addition to skin inflammation and parasitic infection, the cat's hair condition will also be observed. Check the luster and elasticity of hair to determine the health status of cat hair. If the hair is dry, dull or depilated, it may indicate that the cat has health problems. Cat's fur and skin can't be vague!
5. Vaccination and deworming: In the cat's physical examination, the veterinarian will check the vaccination and check whether it is necessary to replant. Vaccine is an important means to prevent cats from getting some serious diseases. Veterinarians will check the cat's vaccination records to ensure that the cat has been vaccinated as required. If the vaccine is missing or expired, it needs to be replanted in time to protect the health of the cat. In addition, veterinarians will deworm cats. Parasites such as fleas, fleas and mites may infect cats, causing skin problems and other health problems. According to the cat's situation, choose the appropriate anthelmintics to remove parasites and protect the cat's health. Vaccination and deworming are preventive measures, which can effectively reduce the risk of cats getting sick. This inspection must not be missed. Cats should not be vaccinated at all.
These are the physical examination items that I often take my cat to do. You can refer to them.
