VOMITING
Very common problem
with cats with a multitude of causes. They range from eating something
poisonous or inedible (like string), to infection, urinary tract
disease, or diabetes to hairballs.
Symptoms are usually obvious, and include drooling and abdominal
heaving.Vomiting can quickly leave your cat dehydrated, so if kitty
continues vomiting or acts ill, call your vet right away. It may help
to collect a sample of your cat's vomit and take it with you to the vet.
FELINE LOWER URINARY TRACT DISEASES (FLUTD)
Some estimates say
as many as 3% of cats seeen by vets have feline lower urinary tract
disease (FLUTD), which is actually a group of feline diseases with
multiple causes.
Female and male cats can get FLUTD, and it often occurs in cats that
are overweight or unfit or who eat dry food. Stress, a multi-cat
household,and sudden changes can all raise a cat's risk of FLUTD, and
treatment depends on the type of FLUTD your cat has. For example:-
*Strainig to urinate, bloody urine, urinating in unusual places,
crying when urinating, licking around the urinary area (often because
of pain), depression, dehydration, lack of appetite, vomiting.
FLEAS
Fleas are a very common external feline health problem. But it's one you can easily treat. Signs your cat has fleas include:-
*Flea dirt on its
skin (they look like tiny black dots), Constant scratching, frequent
licking, red or irritated skin, hair loss, skin infections or hot spots. Fleas can live for
more than a year, and your cat risks anemia if the problem becomes
serious, so be sure to treat your cat's flea problem and prevent future
infestations.
