Just like you, your kitten needs immunisations and regular visits to the doctor to maintain optimal health. Together, you and your veterinarian can provide your kitten with the best care for a long, healthy life. Your veterinarian is the best source of information for your kitten's health, so it is important to follow their recommendations to ensure a great start for a long, healthy life.
The sooner you visit the veterinarian, the better. Kittens should be immunised at an early age. Your veterinarian will start your kitten on a vaccination schedule and will advise you when boosters are necessary. Make sure your pet gets a regular veterinary checkup every six months or as recommended by your veterinarian.
Tasty Tips
When you take your kitten to the veterinarian, you should know what to expect. Some of the common diagnostic tests your veterinarian may want to perform include faecal examinations to check for internal parasites and blood tests to check for diseases. During the physical exam, your veterinarian will feel your kitten's abdomen, listen to the chest, check the condition of the coat, look in the ears for infection and ear mites and inspect the mouth for tartar buildup or gum disease.This is also a great opportunity to talk to your vet about choosing the right food for your new pet.
