Regular weight checks with your veterinary nurse are a simple yet significant step in maintaining your catās health.
Cats are masters at hiding signs of illness, and weight is one of the first signs of illness in a cat.
Even a slight increase or decrease in weight can have a significant impact on a catās health.
Regular weight checks can help us:
ā¢ Detect health problems early on
ā¢ Monitor diseases like kidney problems, diabetes, and hyperthyroidism
ā¢ Confirm whether a diet is working properly
ā¢ Confirm whether a kitten is growing properly
ā¢ Help keep overweight cats at a healthy weight without harming their health
These sessions are quick and stress-free, and you can also use these sessions as a chance to discuss feeding and dieting.
A healthy weight can increase a catās lifespan by several years.
If you suspect your cat has gained or lost weight, you should book a weight check appointment with a nurse; it is one of the easiest ways to protect your catās health.
