Cats can get sick often and suddenly. It is not always clear what exactly this is connected with.
Why do cats often get sick
The most common diseases of cats are kidney failure, urolithiasis, inflammation of the bladder, cystitis, colds, and skin diseases.
Often the main causes of infection are decreased immunity and contact with virus carriers – other animals.
Cold, draft, unbalanced diet, poor maintenance of the animal, as well as chronic stress also affect the incidence of cat diseases.
These factors can cause early aging of the animal’s body and various diseases in the pet.
How to understand that a cat is sick
Domestic cats can suffer from many diseases.
For example, anemia, worms, intoxication, vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
Fungal infections, fleas, and diseases of internal organs are also found.
A sick cat often experiences discharge and excessive salivation.
Also increased body temperature, digestive problems, and blood in the urine or stool.
Veterinarians also highlight the deterioration of the condition of the skin and coat.
In addition, sick animals have problems with gait, convulsions, and problems with coordination of movements.
The animal may also cough, breathe heavily, and refuse food and water.
In this case, you urgently need to take your pet to the veterinarian.
