Caring for an older cat questions.......
As my indoor cat Willi approaches his 10th birthday in April am wondering if
there are something I need to think about regarding his health. I generally take him in once a year for his vet visit and shots. Am debating if I should now move this to every 6 months. Any thoughts? I have read in someplaces there is a value to perhaps getting him x-rayed periodically to identify any possiblity of cancer early. Also, he has never had his teeth cleaned and wonder if I need to be thinking about any dental issues he may have in his senior years. Overall, Willi has a good health history and had his PC surgery when he was 6 for a blockage and has never been outside the house. However, he is in the 16 lb range and really needs to lose some weight. He is currently eating a ProPlan weight management dry food. Any feedback or thoughts are appeciated. Magnus |
