Hi! I am Dr. Adrienne Mulligan and I am the owner of Camp Verde Veterinary Clinic and
I am here today on behalf of expertvillage.com to talk to you about cat first aid and administration
of medications. Now, we have talked a lot about all of the kidney diseases and problems
and things that we run into with cats and I just wanted you to know that as with people
many cat diseases, many cat problems can be prevented or at least improved and helped
by the proper diet and while diets from your veterinarian are going to cost a little more,
if you are thinking about it as a health food, as a food that is a medicine, then it makes
sense to spend the extra money. If I have a disease, that I have to eat all foods from
the new frontiers, well then I have to go and spend the money for organic food, it is
going to cost me more than if I go to some other grocery store and buy non-organic foods.
So it is going to cost more to eat right, no matter what you do, so there are diets
designed for things likeā¦ this is a weight loss formula in cats and obesity we have already
learned can lead to diabetes and so weight control is extremely important. High factor
is designed to help cats with bowel problems that can help with diarrhea or constipation
either way, it is a high fiber formula. We have the modified diet which already we have
talked about for cats with renal failure, this a low protein diet, so that it gives
the kidneys less protein they have to break down and worry about. This is the urinary
diet that really helps male cats and female cats in their dealing with the feline urinary
tract disease syndrome and then these two diets are new diets. These are basic diets
for the everyday cat after they get neutered or spayed and these have been worked on and
proven to prevent your cats from getting fat after they have been spayed and neutered,
so these are gold mine for your cat to avoid ever becoming fat in the first place after
they get neutered and then what other formulas are for allergies, this is a hypoallergenic
diet and there are many more diets that can treat many more diseases or prevent many more
diseases and so I just wanted to stress that medicines and things are good but when it
all comes down to it, diet is the place to start.
