🐾 Why Is My Cat Limping? 🐾

Limping in cats can be caused by a range of issues — from minor injuries to more serious health concerns. Here are the most common causes:

✅ Arthritis – Affects 40% of all cats and 90% of cats over age 12. Look for limping, less jumping, and reduced activity.
✅ Injury – Sprains, fractures, or torn ligaments from falls or jumps are common. X-rays may be needed.
✅ Infection or Ingrown Nail – Wounds or nails growing into the paw can cause pain and limping. Regular nail trims help prevent this.

🩺 Less Common Causes:

-Endocrine issues like diabetes
-Cancer (e.g., bone tumors)
-Blood clots or heart disease, especially in older cats

📅 What to Do:
Always have a limping cat examined by your vet — even if it seems minor. Early diagnosis leads to better outcomes and faster recovery.

🐶 Why Is My Dog So Itchy?

Itching and skin allergies are one of the most common reasons for vet visits. If your dog is constantly scratching, don’t wait — it’s time for a vet check!

🔍 What Happens at the Vet?

Your vet will ask about:
🗓️ When the itching started
📍 Where they’re scratching
🦟 Flea prevention
🧴 Bathing routine
🍽️ Diet and treats
🏡 Environmental changes

🧪 How Vets Diagnose the Itch:

✔️ Full skin exam
✔️ Skin samples to check for bacteria, yeast, or mites
✔️ Tests for parasites like fleas or mange
✔️ Blood tests for allergies or immune issues
✔️ Diet trials or biopsies (in complex cases)

💊 How Is It Treated?

Treatment depends on the cause, and may include:

-Anti-itch meds (cytopoint, apoquel, antihistamines)
-Medicated shampoos
-Antibiotics or antifungals
-Supplements or special diets

🩺 When to See a Dermatologist:

If your dog’s itching is severe, chronic, or unresponsive to treatment, your vet may refer you to a veterinary dermatologist for specialized care.

❤️ Long-Term Care

Some allergies are lifelong but manageable with the right care plan. Your vet is here to help keep your dog comfortable and itch-free!

🐾 Parasite Protection FAQs 🐾

1. Do Indoor Cats Need Protection?
Yes! Fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and even worms can find their way indoors. Cats can also escape unexpectedly, exposing them to risks. Year-round protection is essential — even for indoor pets.

2. Why Year-Round Prevention?
Parasites don’t take the winter off. Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes can survive indoors or in mild climates. Prevention is safer and cheaper than treatment.

3. No Parasites in My Area — Do I Still Need Protection?
Parasites are found in all 50 states and are increasingly appearing in new areas. Don't take the risk!

4. Found a Tick?
Remove it ASAP with tweezers or a tick tool. If unsure, call your vet. Save the tick for identification and follow up — your pet may need treatment.

5. Signs of Fleas:

Itching or scratching

Red, bumpy skin

Black specks (flea dirt)
Test flea dirt by wetting it — if it turns reddish brown, it’s fleas.

6. Signs of Heartworm:

-Coughing
-Fatigue
-Weight loss
-Breathing issues
Often no early signs — prevention is key!

7. Where Are Parasites Found?
Almost everywhere: grass, soil, other animals, even inside your home.
