🐱 5 Common Health Issues in Cats & Signs to Watch For

Cats are experts at hiding illness, so recognizing subtle changes in their behavior, appetite, or bathroom habits can help you know when something may be wrong. Here are five common health concerns and some signs to watch for:

🐾 Kidney Disease
• Increased thirst and urination
• Weight loss
• Dry or unkempt coat
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Changes in urine

🐾 Hyperthyroidism
• Increased appetite
• Weight loss despite eating more
• Restlessness or increased activity
• Increased thirst or urination

🐾 Diabetes
• Increased thirst and urination
• Weight loss
• Changes in appetite
• Lethargy or weakness
• Dehydration

🐾 Upset Stomach / Digestive Issues
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Loss of appetite
• Lethargy
• Abdominal discomfort

🐾 Urinary Tract Problems
• Straining or difficulty urinating
• Pain or crying while urinating
• Blood in the urine
• Frequent trips to the litter box
• Urinating outside the litter box

🚨 Important: A cat that is repeatedly straining to urinate but producing little or no urine may have a urinary blockage—especially male cats. This can be a life-threatening emergency and requires immediate veterinary attention.

Regular veterinary checkups and prompt attention to changes in your cat’s health can help catch problems early and keep your feline friend feeling their best. ❤️🐾

If you’ve noticed changes in your cat’s appetite, weight, thirst, behavior, or litter box habits, call Dixieland Veterinary Services to schedule an appointment.

Spooky is here to remind everyone about cat & kitten health!

From tiny kittens to senior cats, every stage of your cat’s life deserves the right care!

Regular wellness exams help us monitor growth, catch potential health concerns early, and keep your kitty up to date on vaccinations, parasite prevention, dental care, nutrition, and overall wellness.

Kittens especially need a strong start with proper nutrition, vaccines, and routine veterinary care. As they grow, regular checkups remain important because cats are experts at hiding signs of illness.

A little preventive care goes a long way toward keeping your feline friend happy, healthy, and purring for years to come! Give us a call at (850) 547-4160 to make an appointment!

Our sweet new furry friend Ella is here to remind you about the importance of starting your pets dental health journey early! 🦷🐾

Did you know your pet’s dental health journey should begin when they’re a puppy? Just like people, dogs can develop plaque and tartar that can eventually lead to painful dental disease, bad breath, and other health problems.

Starting a dental routine while your puppy is young helps them become comfortable with having their mouth, teeth, and gums handled. Regular brushing with a pet-safe toothpaste, dental chews, and routine veterinary dental exams can all help keep those pearly whites healthy!

🪥 A few tips for puppy dental care:

- Introduce tooth brushing slowly and make it a positive experience.
- Use toothpaste specifically made for pets—never human toothpaste.
- Schedule regular wellness visits so we can monitor your puppy’s teeth and gums as they grow.
- Keep up with professional dental cleanings when recommended by your veterinarian.

Starting good dental habits early can make a big difference for your pet’s comfort, health, and quality of life for years to come!

Give your puppy a reason to smile—start their dental routine today! Give us a call at (850) 547-4160 if you have any questions!

📚🐶 Back-to-school season can be "ruff" on our pups!

As kids head back to class today, many dogs face a big change—quiet homes after months of fun-filled summer days. That sudden shift can cause stress, but a few simple steps can help ease the transition:
🐾 Keep boredom at bay with interactive toys
🐾 Start adjusting to the school-year routine now
🐾 Make sure bathroom breaks are well-timed
🐾 Try a trial run—leave background noise like TV on
🐾 Mix up your leaving routine to reduce anxiety cues

With a little planning, your dog can stay calm, happy, and safe while the family is away.

What’s Going On in Those Ears? Let’s Talk Ear Cytology!

Ever wonder why we take a little swab of your pet’s ear? It may look simple, but that tiny swab can tell us a LOT about what’s going on inside those ears!

An ear cytology is a diagnostic test where we collect a small sample from the ear canal and examine it under a microscope. This allows our veterinary team to identify what may be contributing to your pet’s ear problems.

Today, our new friend Coco came in for an exam because her ears were bothering her, and an ear cytology helped us take a closer look at what was going on so we could better understand how to help her feel more comfortable.

🔬 We’re looking for things like:
🦠 Bacteria — which can contribute to infection and inflammation
🍄 Yeast — a common cause of itchy, smelly ears
🔥 Inflammatory cells — which tell us the ear is irritated or fighting an infection
👀 Other abnormal cells or organisms — depending on what we find

Why is this important? Because not every ear infection is the same! The type and amount of organisms present can help our veterinarians choose the most appropriate treatment for your pet. It can also help us monitor whether an infection is improving or if treatment needs to be adjusted.

If your pet is frequently scratching their ears, shaking their head, has redness, swelling, discharge, an unpleasant odor, or seems painful when their ears are touched, an ear cytology may be recommended. Give us a call at (850) 547-4160 to make an appointment!

📅 August is National Immunization Awareness Month—and that includes your furry family members! 🐶🐱

Just like people, pets need regular vaccinations to stay healthy. Vaccines are the best defense against serious illnesses—and we recommend staying up to date every year.

🍼 Puppies & kittens should get their first vaccines at 8 weeks old, with boosters every 4 weeks until about 20 weeks. It’s crucial to complete the entire series for full protection.

Skipping boosters = incomplete protection = unnecessary risk. Don’t take that chance.

📞 Call Dixieland Veterinary Clinic today at (850) 547-4160 to schedule your pet’s vaccines and keep them safe!
