Do you know the 10 signs of sickness in cats?

Signs of illness may be not readily apparent in cats, says Susan Little, DVM, DABVP.  Dr. Little says that one reason cats are not being brought in for veterinary visits as often as they should be is that pet owners don't always know their cats are sick.

Clients should look for these 10 subtle signs of sickness in their cats:
1.  Inappropriate elimination
2.  Changes in interaction
3.  Changes in activity
4.  Changes in sleeping habits
5.  Changes in food and water consumption
6.  Unexplained weight loss or gain
7.  Changes in grooming
8.  Signs of stress
9.  Changes in vocalization
10.  Bad breath

If you have seen  any of these signs in your cats - call today to talk with your vet!  We want your cats healthy and happy.
