🐱 What To Do If You Think Your Cat Is Dehydrated

A slow skin snap can be a warning sign, but the skin tent test cannot confirm dehydration or measure its severity by itself. Age and reduced skin elasticity can also affect the result, especially in senior cats.

👀 Signs To Watch For

Dry or tacky gums, low energy, weakness, poor appetite, sunken eyes, or skin that remains tented may indicate dehydration.

💧 Encourage Hydration

Offer fresh water in an easy-to-reach location. Wet food, adding water to food, or offering a pet water fountain may help increase water intake.

🩺 Contact Your Veterinarian

Dehydration may result from vomiting, diarrhea, kidney disease, diabetes, or reduced water intake. Your veterinarian can determine the cause and provide fluids under the skin or through an IV when needed.

If your cat is very weak, repeatedly vomiting, not eating or drinking, or seems unresponsive, seek veterinary care right away.

🦷 Why Anesthesia Is Used For Pet Dental Procedures

A complete dental procedure involves much more than removing visible tartar. Anesthesia allows us to examine and clean every tooth safely while reducing movement, discomfort, and stress.

🪥 Clean Below The Gumline
Most dental disease develops where it cannot be seen. Anesthesia allows us to clean below the gums and take dental X-rays to look for hidden problems involving the roots and surrounding bone.

🫁 Protect The Airway
A breathing tube delivers oxygen and helps protect your pet's airway from water and debris during the procedure.

❤️ Focus On Safety
Anesthesia does carry risks. A pre-anesthetic evaluation, an individualized medication plan, and close monitoring before, during, and after the procedure help reduce those risks.

Contact The Waggin Train if you have questions about your pet's dental health or an upcoming dental procedure.

🐾 Signs Your Dog Could Have A UTI

Urinary tract infections can be uncomfortable, and the signs should not be ignored.

🩺 What To Watch For

- Straining or discomfort while urinating
- Urinating more often in small amounts
- Accidents inside the house
- Blood or a strong odor in the urine
- Excessive licking around the ge***al area

These symptoms can also occur with bladder stones or other urinary problems. A veterinarian may use a urinalysis and urine culture to determine the cause.

🚨 If your dog repeatedly strains but cannot pass urine, seek emergency veterinary care immediately.

Contact The Waggin' Train to schedule a visit if you notice changes in your dog's bathroom habits.
