A thorough exam and a detailed history are critical parts of medical care. Wellness exams are recommended for healthy cats on an annual basis until they are over the age of 10. After 10 years of age we recommend bi-annual exams. Exams can assist us in identifying health-related changes in the early stages of illness so that we may intervene with treatment before disease has had the opportunity to advance. At the time of your cat’s exam, the doctor will explain and discuss the findings. It is important that we work together to keep your cat healthy, and we will therefore seek your input on solutions that will work for you and your cat’s unique situation.
