Your vet, on the other hand, should be able to detect these and other signs that might be troubling. Your Vet may also request a fecal sample in order to check for internal parasites, and vaccinations will need to be updated.

Your veterinarian should discuss your pet's diet and any necessary dental care. If a few extra pounds are a concern, he or she can offer some nutritional guidance and even tips on getting more exercise. This is also your time to ask questions, since you kitty can't do it himself. If you have any questions or concerns related to your cat's health or even behavior, don't hesitate to discuss them with your vet. With any luck, your cat will be given a positive bill of health and you'll both be on your way.
