Veterinary Advice Online for Quick Pet Solutions

Veterinary advice online for the two most common pet concerns.

Question: my cat/dog has been going to the bathroom in all the wrong places. What can I do?
Answer: Generally a pet begins to relieve itself outside of the litter box when it begins to associate going to the bathroom with pain. If your pet is exhibiting this behavior, then typically the diagnosis is a urinary tract infection, or some similar issue. Rarely it is a genetic fault (surgery required), but most commonly it is a condition of a poor diet and a reliance on dry pet food.
Solution: Switching to a better quality pet food will usually clear this up in 5-10 days. If your cat is male, then consult your vet.

Question: Is it all right to feed my cat/dog fruit and vegetables?
Answer: No. Your pet may appear to like these things but they are not good for a carnivore; their digestive tract was not made to handle this sort of food. Allowing them to eat fruit and vegetables rarely/occasionally should have no ill affect on your pet, but you should not make a habit of it.
Solution: Stick to good quality pet food and appropriate snacks/treats and avoid the temptation to feed them human food (which is almost always too rich for them).

Veterinarian advice online is not a replacement for a regular Vet. Your normal pet doctor has access to local facilities for screening and testing fecal matter, administering routine dental cleanings, and annual blood and urine analysis.

Spaying or neutering your cat/dog:
This is the single best way to stop pet overpopulation and it has significant health benefits for your cat. Female cats should be spayed (ovariohysterectomy) before 6 months (before they enter their first heat cycle) to cut the risk of developing mammary (breast) cancer by almost 95%, and eliminate the risk of developing ovarian or uterine cancer completely.
In male cats, neutering will eliminate the risk of testicular cancer. In addition, several behavior problems common to male cats, such as spraying urine in the house, fighting with other cats and the urge to roam to find a mate are greatly diminished once a cat is neutered.

Vaccinating your cat/dog may be one of the most important decisions you make for the health of your pet. Learn crucial information about why yearly vaccinations may be harmful to your pet.
"Recent vaccinations with single or combination modified live virus (MLV) vaccines are increasingly recognized contributors to immune-mediated blood diseases, bone marrow failure, organ dysfunction and cancer."

The most common veterinary advice given online is for identifying and diagnosing a urinary tract infection. Low-grade cat food is stuffed full of processed carbohydrate and vegetable. Two things your meat-eating pet can not really digest. Poor food leads to an unhealthy pet. A build up of minerals and other things in your cat/dogs bladder and urethra will cause your pet to experience a urinary tract infection.
Poor diet is the most common cause of this. Switching to a better quality food source will have a great impact on the quality of life your pet enjoys.

Symptoms of Urinary Tract Infection
1. Your cat/dog starts to pee in places other than the litter box.
2. Your cat's/dog's urine has a powerful and/or ammonia like odor.
3. Your cat/dog strains to urinate and/or cries during.
4. There is blood in your cat's/dog's urine.

These are general warning signs and should be taken seriously. If left unmanaged too long it can lead to trauma, a coma, and eventually death in severe cases. Male pets should be taken into see a Veterinarian promptly.
