No two cats are the same, which makes being a cat owner equally rewarding and challenging. But no matter the quirks or temperament of your cat, part of your responsibility is to keep her happy and in good health. In addition to a balanced, nutritious diet and exercise your vet is an important resource for maintaining good health in your pet.
Have you noticed changes in your cat's behavior? Maybe she has been sneezing more often. Is it just seasonal allergies or something more? Has your cat gained excess weight? She may be eating the wrong type of food or not getting enough exercise. There are often certain dietary or environmental reasons for the changes in your cat's behavior that your vet can help you better understand.
Finding the, right questions to ask can be the hardest part of speaking with your vet about your pet's health. Here are some questions on common cat health conditions to help start the conversation.
