Coping with blindness

Cats may start to lose their sight for a variety of reasons, including old age. Medical causes for loss of sight in adult and older animals are more common including trauma, neurological problems and high blood pressure. Cats compensate for impaired vision by relying more on their remaining senses, especially smell.

Coping with amputation

It may seem like a drastic measure, but (whether as the result of an accident or disease) amputation is a much more common procedure than it was once. Amputation involves major surgery; but if it removes a painful limb then it may be the best solution. Cats cope very well on three legs or without a tail and after a period of adjustment they can do everything a four-legged cat can do!

Recovering from surgery

Your vet will give you specific advice relating to your cat's particular condition, check-up dates and post-surgical medication. Always follow their instructions and contact them if you are not sure about something or have any concerns. In general, cats will be a little sleepy after an anaesthetic; however, they should be eating and comfortable with no sign of pain.

Special diets

Over the past 20 years huge progress has been made in the development of highly specialised pet food formulas. These range from weight loss and sensitive digestion recipes, to diets designed specifically to help manage conditions such as diabetes, urinary or skin problems. Some formulations work to support treatment over a limited period of time, but others can help your pet for life.
