Making that time together the best it can be is one of our most important goals at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allcreaturesvetbrooklyn.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All Creatures Veterinary Hospital of Brooklyn<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep reading to see why senior cat care is so important, and what things you may need to be aware of when caring for your sweet feline. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural Instincts<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cats are mysterious creatures. Many people see them as fiercely independent and not in need of much care or human interaction, but nothing could be further from the truth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/58438-cats-like-people-more-than-food.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies show<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that cats thrive and are happiest with regular and loving social interaction from the people in their lives. If your cat is hiding away, or your well socialized cat is suddenly not interested in as much interaction with you, it\u2019s possible that one of their most basic survival instincts is at play <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that of hiding pain and discomfort. If this occurs, it\u2019s even more urgent to bring your kitty in to see us, as senior cats often hide because of treatable and manageable conditions.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Age Is Not a Disease<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people feel that older pets should naturally slow down and that it\u2019s normal for them to not be as active, but this is not necessarily the case. Age is not a disease, and older pets can be just as healthy and fit as their younger counterparts. But because cats age so much faster than we do, it\u2019s also important to know that senior cats benefit from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allcreaturesvetbrooklyn.com\/services\/wellness-plans.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more frequent exams<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (twice a year) to take advantage of our early intervention in any illness or discomfort. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your older cat may show signs of pain and discomfort that you might not catch. Common signs of discomfort that should be a signal to see us are: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vomiting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reluctance to jump up to previous favorite spots<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constipation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diarrhea<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skipping meals (very dangerous in cats)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changes in drinking habits (more or less than normal)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty chewing, messy eating, or chewing on one side of the mouth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Straining to urinate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limping<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hiding from you (if not previously normal)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weight loss<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vision problems<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reluctance to be touched, or not seeking as much social interaction<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of the above signs are possibly caused by treatable and\/or manageable diseases. Don\u2019t let your older cat suffer in silence <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we can help! Scheduling regular preventive care exams before you notice any of these problems helps us catch small problems even before your cat is exhibiting any signs. Not only is this better for the cat, but it\u2019s better for your wallet, too. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senior Cat Care<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veterinary professionals agree that senior cats are between the ages of 7-10. Geriatric cats are older than 10 years of age. Here are some of the most important things you can do to support senior cat care:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allcreaturesvetbrooklyn.com\/forms\/appointment.html\"><b>Schedule regular wellness exams<\/b><\/a><b>. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We do a complete <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allcreaturesvetbrooklyn.com\/forms\/appointment.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">physical exam<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and look for any changes. We\u2019ll talk to you about anything you\u2019re noticing at home. And, we\u2019ll do some tests to check for early signs of disease, such as a CBC, blood pressure, chemistry panel, thyroid levels (T4), and a urinalysis. More testing may be recommended based on the results of these tests. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Monitor health at home. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because your senior cat may hide any health issues, it\u2019s important to be aware of any early signs of discomfort. Watch for sudden changes in appetite, weight gain or loss, poor coat or a change in grooming habits, and reluctance to jump up to favorite resting spots. Hiding and withdrawal from social interaction are often warning signs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Keep up with basic care. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although cats are good groomers, you should also regularly brush your senior cat and run your hands over their body. This not only keeps the coat, nails, and skin in better condition, it allows you to notice any small changes in body weight or health. Parasite prevention, dental care, vaccinations, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allcreaturesvetbrooklyn.com\/services\/nutrition.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">good nutrition<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and exercise are all still vitally important to your senior cat\u2019s health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Do a comfort check.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Make sure your older friend is still able to access food, water, and their litter box. If they have difficulty, it may be time to rearrange things. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allcreaturesvetbrooklyn.com\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give us a call<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for ideas or if you need help with any of these suggestions.
