Hurrah! We have a senior cat to go on our special seniors board in Reception!
This is the lovely Clyde. Clyde is 18 and a half years of age, but he really does not look it! He is suffering the effects of some arthritis though, and comes in for a regular injection to help him with that.
If you have a senior cat, it is a good idea to watch out for signs of mobility issues.
Signs will often be subtle with cats as they will rarely yelp or cry. Things to look out for include difficulty when going up and down stairs, being slow to rise or hesitating to jump.
Cats don't have to suffer the pain of arthritis - no matter their age.
If you have any worries at all that your cat may be beginning to suffer from signs of aging, do give us a call to book in with one of our experienced RVN's for a Senior Health Check. Throughout October and November this is an entirely free service.
Give us a call or go to our website to book a nurse appointment.
