Veterinary Clinic Offering Medical Care for Cats in San Diego
Cat medical care concerns many people once significant medical issues occur. At South San Diego Veterinary Hospital, we recommend that every San Diego cat owner seek preventative care when his or her companion is a kitten. We hope to catch illnesses and provide treatment before the ailment becomes serious. We understand the unique temperaments of the feline family and offer a cat-friendly environment.
Common Feline Health Issues
Several common feline ailments could affect your cat. We treat a wide variety of issues, including:
- Vomiting: There are many possible causes behind a vomiting cat. Please seek care before your companion becomes dehydrated. If possible, bring a sample of the vomit to your appointment.
- Feline lower urinary tract disease: The condition tends to be common in overweight or otherwise unfit pets. Watch for bloody urine, a decreased appetite, and changes in urination patterns.
- Fleas: This problem is common with pets who spend a lot of time outside. Watch out for frequent licking or scratching, irritated skin, hair loss, and visible fleas.
- Feline renal disease is most common in older cats but can also affect kittens. Watch out for frequent urination, increased water your cat drinks, a discolored tongue, and weakness.
- Dental disease: The symptoms of these conditions include difficulty eating, a change in chewing habits, and bad breath.
We also work with East Lake and Chula Vista pet owners to address behavioral problems.
