Ageing is a normal process for all living beings, and as cats move into their senior years, they can still age with the same quiet grace they’ve always shown. Here’s our guide for senior cat owners to help recognise early changes for better support.

In cats, dyspnoea may manifest as exaggerated chest movements, open-mouth breathing, or an altered posture. Once breathing becomes laboured, they are often close to decompensation and require a calm, methodical approach to stabilisation.

Ultrasound of the feline gallbladder allows its direct assessment, including the bile ducts and surrounding structures, to distinguish primary biliary disease from secondary change linked to hepatic, pancreatic or intestinal pathology.

Cats have limited cooling mechanisms and are behaviourally inclined to hide discomfort from you, so they’re likely feeling the hot weather even if you don’t see it. Feline hydration is something to be particularly aware of in the summer.

Feline breathing disorders can stem from disease in the airways, lungs, pleural space or even systems far beyond the chest. Identifying the cause requires a thorough assessment and targeted diagnostics

Ultrasound is one of the most valuable technologies for supporting feline health, as it provides a clear, non-invasive view of the organs and structures. It helps diagnose conditions that aren’t obvious on examination or routine testing.

After the overwhelm of a diabetes diagnosis subsides, you’ll likely be wondering if there’s a specific diet for diabetic cats. The answer is yes. It’s a key pillar of your management plan, along with medication and regular monitoring.

Most living beings have an aversion to hospitals, and cats, in particular, often respond with fear. Treatment or even basic handling can sometimes be near impossible without help. That’s why we find Gabapentin helpful for calmer visits and safer care.

Cats don’t respond to distress and anxiety the same way dogs or people do, which is why our feline nurses play such an important role in ensuring every patient feels safe. They build trust slowly through calm, consistent care, allowing each cat to set the pace.
