Lo que no se puede obtener de la historia clínica se adquiere con los dedos, los ojos y el olfato. La capacidad de escuchar con un estetoscopio y palpar con los dedos y las manos revelará gran parte de los hallazgos físicos. El sentido del olfato también es importante para detectar el olor afrutado del aliento de la vaca cetósica, o la urea del aliento de un gato en la insuficiencia renal.

I loved it when you said that if you notice any of these symptoms or any other behaviors in your cat, please contact your veterinarian for an appointment. My wife and I have been discussing finding a vet to help us if we decide to have a puppy, and it would be important for us to know that we could find one that we can trust to hire. If we choose to find a vet, I'll be sure to look for one with the proper accreditations.

One of the reasons why many cats live with undiagnosed diseases or conditions is lack of veterinary care. Thank you for making this such an awesome post!

It's good to know that it is a bad sign if they have started to be more isolating, My cat has always been very social, and for the past couple of weeks, my boyfriend and I have noticed how he has been isolating himself a lot more and I was wondering if that was a bad sign. I'll have to look into finding a vet to take him to in case something is wrong.
