Featured Dog Q&A

How is a dog's blood pressure taken?

Dr. Horwitz, a Veterinarian says:
Dogd can suffer from hypertension like people, although it is not as common. Blood pressure measurements are taken on the front leg while the dog is resting either on their chest or side. Measurements are usually taken three times to help account for nervousness with the procedure. The diagnosis of hypertension is made based on the blood pressure reading and other clinical signs.

Featured Cat Q&A

My cat just had 5 of the cutest kittens. How can I make sure they are healthy?

Dr. Horwitz, a Veterinarian says:
While the kittens are nursing it is important that the mother cat have a diet that can meet her nutritional needs. Purina ONE Growth & Development formula would be a good choice. It also can be used for the kittens when they are being weaned. Once the kittens are a bit older (between 4-5 weeks) a veterinary visit is a good idea for a first basic examination. If you keep them after they are 6-7 weeks be sure to return to your veterinarian to start their vaccinations.
