The Fontainebleau Veterinary Clinic welcomes dogs and cats.
Because of their independent nature, cats don't easily reveal their health problems, unlike dogs. Getting to know your pet well will help you detect any minor or major ailments.
Domestic cats are generally more willing to live outdoors. A complete vaccination schedule is essential to prevent issues related to outdoor exposure. Spaying or neutering is also important. Anti-parasite treatments (for fleas, ticks, etc.) are highly recommended, along with regular deworming.
Be mindful of wounds, bites, and scratches, which are common in outdoor cats. These should be taken seriously and evaluated by a veterinarian to avoid the risk of infection.
Depending on the breed, a cat may be genetically predisposed to certain diseases. Naturally, your veterinarian will monitor your cat's health closely, and you can also provide special care and attention at home.
Vaccination remains essential to prevent the most common feline diseases. Sterilization is often recommended to prevent pedigree cats from breeding outside of official catteries and to help preserve the integrity of the breed.
Long-haired pedigree cats require regular brushing. Hairballs can lead to mild vomiting, but there are many solutions available to help relieve this minor issue.
Small and large dogs do not suffer from the same health problems, and some breeds are more prone to certain ailments than others. An attentive owner and regular check-ups at the vet's can prevent many problems.
Small-breed dogs are known for living longer than their larger counterparts. However, their longevity and seemingly robust nature do not exclude them from specific health issues.
Your veterinarian will pay particular attention to your dog’s dental health, as small breeds are more prone to dental problems caused by tartar buildup. Left untreated, this can lead to tooth loss and infections that may impact the immune system.
Smaller breeds are also more susceptible to eye and ear issues, and some may experience respiratory problems. Due to the smaller size of their ENT (ear, nose, and throat) systems, these areas tend to be more delicate and require special care.
Medium-sized and large dogs are particularly prone to osteoarthritis, a condition often associated with aging. A veterinarian can detect this issue early and recommend treatments to relieve discomfort and slow the progression of the disease.
Hip dysplasia is another common condition in these breeds, which can also be identified early by your veterinarian.
