Part of the Pet Care Kihei at local veterinary clinics focuses on on wellness and prevention. The veterinarian will look at your pet’s eyes to be sure they are clear and bright. He will check for any redness in the eyes, which may indicate a painful eye infection, and will check for any cataracts in the eyes, which can affect the pet’s vision. He will check in the pet’s ears for any signs of irritating, itchy mites or a painful ear infection. He will check the pet’s gums and teeth to look for any rotten teeth or indications from the color of the gums that the animal may have an underlying medical problem.
Another part well wellness Pet Care Kihei centers on prevention of illness. Owners should ask their veterinarian about what the current protocol is for required vaccinations and how often they should be administered. The doctor can tell you at what age puppies and kittens should receive their first vaccination and the particular booster schedule for them, which is usually every couple of weeks until the series has been completed, and at that point they would return every two to three years for vaccinations like rabies, distemper, and parvo-corona.
Controlling the pet population is crucial to prevent the overpopulation of unwanted pets who languish in shelters and run wild and feral. Part of Pet Care Kihei involves spaying and neutering dogs and cats. Sterilization does several things for your pet. It may prevent some forms of cancer, like ovarian cancer in dogs. It may prevent male cats from spraying. There is enough argument to say that when done early enough, it can calm males. It also prevents a large part of a pet’s desire to wander during breeding season. However, sterilization alone does not prevent pets from wandering off your property.
A unique kind of Pet Care Kihei is quarantine services for newcomers to the islands. Not all veterinary clinics may provide this service, and the clinic needs to be licensed by the state. It’s a comfort for owners, who know where their pet is for the duration of the quarantine, and for them to know there is a veterinarian on site every day.
