However, because many health conditions facing today\u2019s pet cats are preventable, routine wellness exams are important to their long term health. Plus, with early detection of certain age-related or other diseases, treatment is not only effective, it\u2019s much <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cherrycreekvet.com\/blog\/the-benefits-of-pet-insurance-protecting-your-pet-and-your-wallet\/\">more affordable<\/a> than waiting for symptoms to trigger the need for urgent or emergency care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Healthy Baseline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The opportunity to examine a healthy cat helps us create a baseline of normal values. If they veer from their healthy baseline at future wellness exams, we can be more proactive at determining the reasons that explain possible changes. For example, sudden weight loss or gain, changes in coat quality, gait differences, and some behaviors can lead us to question various aspects of their health and lifestyle to create a plan that supports feline wellness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Screening<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to a thorough <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cherrycreekvet.com\/services\/puppy-kitten-care.html\">nose-to-tail exam<\/a>, we discuss at length the importance of vaccinations and parasite prevention (even if a cat is strictly indoor-only). Certain diagnostics, including blood work and urinalysis, can help us understand a cat\u2019s current health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Once or Twice?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Annual exams and screenings benefit most cats, but older cats or those with preexisting medical conditions may need checkups every six months. Treating and supporting common conditions like periodontal disease, arthritis, and kidney disease makes preventive care a top priority as cats age. becomes a huge priority as they age.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We examine the teeth and gums at every wellness exam. If your cat is in need of professional cleaning under anesthesia, we are happy to provide an estimate and give you information about cleaning, scaling, polishing, extractions, and digital X-rays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats hide or mask symptoms of illness or injury very well. That means that by the time symptoms are obvious to their owners, cats may be in the advanced stages of disease. Catching problems early means early and effective treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invest In Cat Wellness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Annual wellness checks are recommended for both indoor-only and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cherrycreekvet.com\/blog\/chip-your-pets-month-safeguarding-our-antelope-pets\/\">indoor-outdoor cats<\/a> alike. Fighting with predators or other animals and injured in a car accident are risk factors for outdoor cats. However,   cats that live strictly indoors aren\u2019t 100% protected from contagious disease, infection, and age-related disease.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cherrycreekvet.com\/staff\/our-veterinarians.html\">Our veterinarians<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cherrycreekvet.com\">Cherry Creek Veterinary Hospital<\/a> are always here to help your cat.
