Common Conditions In Cats

Keeping cats as pets is a wonderful experience. However, unfortunately cats face many health problems. Luckily, most of these health problems can be cured. The common health problems faced by cats are:

Fur balls: Fur balls are commonly found in felines. Our feline friends groom themselves on a daily basis and swallow the lost hair. Sometimes, these hairs get stuck in the digestive tract leading to a blockage. This leads to difficulty in passing stools for the cat. This can be avoided by regular coat brushing of the cat and removing excessive hair.

Feline Lower Urinary Tract Infection: The FLUTD is a syndrome that causes sand like stones in the urinary tract. This can cause discomfort and can lead to kidney failure. This disease can be painful and can be avoided by adding magnesium to their daily diet.

Worms: Cats often are infected with worms like Coccidia, roundworms, heartworms, lungworms, ringworms, tapeworms, and hookworms. This need to be treated medically on an urgent basis. Failing to do so can lead to many severe health problems.

Feline leukaemia: Feline leukaemia is a common fatal disease found in cats. However, it can be avoided with a vaccine. Leukaemia means white blood cell cancer and cat’s life expectancy decreases once after suffered from leukaemia.

Vomiting: A cat vomiting is very common. However, to avoid it watch their diet. Also, make sure your cat is not eating anything it should not.

Kidney Failure: An all-dry food diet can lead to chronic renal failure.

Fleas: Fleas feed on the feline’s blood and make them feel very uncomfortable. It is important to regularly wash the cat’s hair with a flea-free shampoo.

Conjunctivitis: Many felines face chronic inflammation of eye membranes that is known as conjunctivitis.

Stress: Cats are very sensitive and are very prone to stress.

Cat Flu: The common viral fever can make felines very sick and miserable.
