Cat checkups are not only about vaccines and disease treatment, but also about monitoring and prevention. Cats are very good at hiding their discomfort, and many times owners often do not discover their baby’s abnormal behavior until after the condition has worsened. Regular checkups are good for parents and veterinarians to identify potential problems early and to make purposeful interventions and preventions. For example, in middle age, periodontal disease is more or less common in meowing adults. Periodontal disease, if left to develop, can lead not only to oral inflammation, but also to serious problems in other organs of the body such as the heart, kidneys, and liver. The nose checks the cat’s eyes for cleanliness, tears or inflammation, followed by a check for nasal congestion.2. Mouth The teeth check for tartar, calculus, malformation and broken teeth.3. Ears Check the ears for ear mites, redness and inflammation.4. Heart Lungs Check the cat’s heart and lungs with a stethoscope to listen for heart murmurs or other abnormal sounds, such as airway obstruction, etc. A professional cardiologist can determine the location of the heart murmur through the stethoscope, which is vital for the early detection of heart disease.5. Skin check for fleas, lumps, etc., smooth fur, skin diseases, etc.6. Blood complete blood count, which is what we call routine blood count. It detects the type and number of blood cells in the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. In some cases, CBC will also isolate microorganisms and parasites. CBC is very useful for detecting anemia, leukemia, infections and other diseases that affect the cat’s health. 7. Poo smear collect some poo, make microscopic sections and then observe under the microscope, mainly to determine whether there are parasites. Note that meows of different ages should follow different principles: kittens under one year old may be reported to the veterinarian several times during the first year in the door because of the need for vaccination and de-sexing, after adulthood, if there is no disease in the meow, an annual examination is sufficient; when the cat enters old age, a frequency of twice a year is recommended to ensure that diseases can be detected and treated as early as possible.
