IAMI - Claire Laurence was incredulous when her veterinarian told her that her 16-pound DSH -- that's domestic short hair cat, for you motley mortals -- needed to lose some weight because he was in danger of diabetes and high blood pressure.
"Cats get diabetes?" she gasped.
Yes, ma'am. Dogs can too.
Our beloved animals also can get cataracts and brain tumors. Spinal-cord abnormalities, heart disease and hepatitis too.
Vets today can offer treatments for all of these ailments and many more, using diagnostic tools such as MRIs and CAT scans, thus bringing animal care up to a level once reserved for humans.
May we also suggest, that some cats and dogs can benefit from the low-level heat provided by Dolce Vita Pet beds, available on this website.
