Common health problems

Whilst a wide range of issues can be seen as with any species, there are several conditions which are considered common health problems in cats.

If your cat is unwell, we will perform all diagnostics and treatments in a considerate and cat-friendly manner, minimising stress for your cat at every stage. We also recognise the importance of keeping caregivers informed at all times. We will involve you in making decisions throughout your cat’s care to find the best way forward for both you and your cat. It’s incredibly stressful when your pet is poorly. Please always feel free to ask us questions about any procedures, medications or costs mentioned.

Below are links to advice sheets on some of the more common health problems in cats, to help you provide the best possible care for your cat following diagnosis.

Administering medication

Many illnesses require caregivers to administer medication to their cat. This can sometimes be a bit daunting! With the right approach, nearly all cats will be amenable to being medicated. It’s all about finding what works best for you and your cat.

It’s important to find the most stress-free method possible, especially when needing to give medication long-term.
