THE 3 MOST COMMON CATS DISEASE

Not only in humans, animals can also develop diseases, one of which is cats due to several factors such as body condition, age, food or even mental state.

Then, what are the most common types of diseases experienced by cats?

1. Cancer

Launching from ASPCA, cancer is a type of disease in which cells invade body tissues uncontrollably and can spread to other areas quickly.

Cancer in cats also has various types depending on one area or has spread throughout the body. The types of cancer that occur in cats are skin cancer and lymphosarcoma or lymphoma (LSA).

Hereditary and environmental factors are often the two main causes of cancer in cats.

Symptoms of cancer in cats:

A. The appearance of lumps on certain areas of the body

B. There is swelling

C. Has cat bad breath

D. Having weight loss

E. Cats are losing their appetite

F. Has diarrhoea

G. Frequent vomiting

2. Diabetes

Diabetes in cats is a disease caused by a lack of the hormone insulin or the absence of an adequate response to insulin.

Generally diabetes occurs after cats eat certain foods. Due to a lack of insulin, the digestive system cannot break down food into various components including glucose carried to every cell in the body through the bloodstream.

If a cat is unable to produce insulin normally, its blood sugar levels will increase. This causes hyperglycaemia. If you don't treat it right away, it can cause various other health problems in cats.

Symptoms of diabetes in cats:

A. Changes in appetite, can increase or decrease

B. Weight loss occurs

C. Cats always feel excessive thirst

D. Cats always urinate

Maintaining Pet Cat Health

It is very important to always maintain the health of the pet cat, one of which is by maintaining healthy teeth and mouth. As it turns out, the condition of the teeth and mouth greatly affects the overall health of cats. Just like humans, cat teeth must also be cleaned regularly.

Also make sure the cat eats regularly, at least 2 times a day. In adult cats, that's enough. It is also important to pay attention to the type of food and the intake of nutrients received. The more mature the cat, the more diverse the nutrients it needs. In addition, make sure to be a partner or playmate for cats, so that their health is always maintained.
