Vertigo and Balance Problems – Screening For Appropriate Referral



With complaints of dizziness, vertigo or disequilibrium, symptoms can be the result of vestibular, neurologic, vascular, psychologic and even orthopedic pathology. As such, it is not always clear which specialty is appropriate for referral. In this age of cost awareness and effectiveness, the primary care physician must make important decisions as to the appropriateness and cost-effectiveness of diagnostic procedures and referrals to specialists.

Patient's complaining of dizziness or disequilibrium without obvious objective signs, for lack of a more specific diagnostic direction, are often referred for MRI/CAT scan imaging studies to rule out the possibility of brain lesions. The cost effectiveness of this decision deserves scrutiny, as the yield of these studies is very low whereas the diagnostic yield of appropriate physical examination in the doctor's office is very high. "Balance disorders are common, while brain tumors are rare". Prior to the commencement of tests such as MRI, points that need consideration are the likelihood that MRI will provide any relevant diagnostic information and whether the sensitivity of less expensive more diagnostically useful tests can be performed first. In our office, the goal of the initial office examination is to determine the probable cause of the patient's symptoms.

A directed history and extensive neurologic physical examination allows for more exacting diagnosis and thus successful treatment. Unfortunately, in this day of managed care, many providers must succumb to time constraints prohibiting extensive examinations, necessitating referrals to specialists. Currently, 50% of patients seen in the primary care setting receive no diagnosis for their complaints of dizziness, yet 70% receive a prescription for meclizine, (Antivert). Meclizine has not been demonstrated to be effective or appropriate in the treatment of chronic disequilibrium, dizziness or imbalance. It is occasionally effective in reducing nausea associated with vertigo/spinning in some forms of chronic vertiginous disease, however, it is not curative in any way, and in fact interferes with the natural recovery process often worsening matters further. It is appropriate to state at this time, that you do not need a specialist referral to consult with me in my office.

How the Experts Choose Pet Insurance and Identify Cat Illness Symptoms



Many pet owners purchase pet insurance for their cats. Pet health insurance companies write policies that work like human health insurance does.

The owners pay a monthly or annual premium and submit claims as she incurs vet bills. After fulfilling the deductible requirements (which vary based on the policy and the amount of coverage), the owner reimbursed for a percentage of her expenses.

Before buying a policy, research the insurance company ( to make sure they are legitimate and have a reliable reputation) and read the policy carefully so that you know what you are buying.

It should explicitly state what veterinary services (such as spaying or neutering, dental care, lab costs, vaccinations or emergency treatments) and procedures are covered and which ones are not covered. If you are interested in buying a policy for your cat, ask your vet to recommend a reputable agency that specializes in this type of insurance.

Feline Respiratory Disease Complex or FRDC includes upper respiratory infections such as colds, flu, and feline pneumonia. Symptoms include discharge from the eyes and nose and sneezing. Feline pneumonia is a contagious bacterial infection that can be passed from cat to cat. Symptoms include congestion, difficulty breathing, sneezing, coughing, fever, shortness of breath, and yellow or green nasal discharge. It is common in kittens and older cats and should be treated by a veterinarian.

Feline Urologic Syndrome (FUS) or Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) is a serious problem. A cat with FUS or FLUTD could be suffering from bladder or urethral stones or blockages. Symptoms include crying when trying to urinate, urine retention, inability to urinate or straining while trying to urinate, blood or pus in the urine, a hard, full bladder, and constant licking of the genital area.

Because the cat cannot urinate, high levels of deadly toxins build up in his blood. An acute blockage can lead to uremic poisoning and can be fatal if not treated within 48 hours.

Urinary tract infections (UTI) have similar symptoms (difficulty urinating, bloody urine or urinating outside the litter box) and often affect males. Cystitis is an inflammation of the lining of the bladder. The obstruction prevents the cat from urinating and causes FUS. It is common in older cats, and approximately 1 to 2 percent of the feline population suffers from it. If your cat has any of these symptoms or trouble urinating, take him to the vet immediately.

Kitten Care – Looking After Your First Cat



It's always an exciting time when you first decide to own a kitten for the first time. All you can think about is the fun times you will have with your pet and how cute and lovely they will be. However it is important to consider what is involved with looking after a cat, as it is a life time responsibility of between 12 and 16 years sometimes even longer. It will involve certain costs and much time and effort on your part and if you are not fully prepared for these responsibilities, your cat will suffer and this is something no true cat lover would want.

Choosing the right kitten for you is the first consideration. The temperament and health of the kitten are vitally important if both you and your cat are to live happily together. You must consider the home environment your new pet is to come into and if it will suit their personality. For instance if you are looking for a pet that will be a companion to children and be able to interact with them, you will be looking for a lively and active pet. Whereas, if the kitten is for an elderly person, you may be looking for a quieter personality.

Always try to find out the kittens background and if it's mother has any underlining health problems. This will help you be prepared for any ill health that may occur in the future and of course help you to decide whether or not you would want to take on that responsibility. Kittens should always have bright eyes, clean ears and nose and their coat should be glossy. Make sure they are not suffering from diarrhoea or vomiting and are generally in good health before you take them home.

Before bringing home a new kitten make sure all the essentials like, a comfortable cat bed or cushion, a litter tray and litter, food bowls, cat toys including a scratching post and grooming brushes have been purchased to make their arrival comfortable and secure. It is important that the kitten feels at home right from the first. This will help them settle in to their new home quicker and help them to build bonds with their new family.

Feeding a kitten also needs some thought. Just like a human baby they need a special diet, as their digestive system is not yet up to coping with all types of food. Look out for cat foods especially made for kittens, which provide all the nutrients and vitamins required to keep a kitten in the best of health. Kittens also need to be fed more frequently than adult cats. Feed kittens up to the age of 5 month old up to 5 times a day, this should gradually be reduced to 3 times a day once they reach 12 months old. Fresh water should be available for them to drink at all times.

During the first few months of owning your new kitten you will get to know your vet very well. Many visits to the vet will be required to fulfil your role as a responsible owner. Worming should be carried out from between the age of 4 to 16 weeks every two weeks until they are 6 moths old, after that it only needs to be carried out every 2 to 6 months. Vaccinations are also essential at around 9 to weeks old as this is when they start to become vulnerable to such illness as cat flu, enteritis, feline leukaemia virus and feline chlamydophilosis.

During these first few months you will also have to decide whether or not you wish to breed from your cat in the future, as they will become mature enough to breed after 6 months old. At that age it is recommended that you have them neutered if you do not want any unwanted pregnancies to occur. It is also a good time to have them micro chipped at this age.

Well now that all the practical things have been dealt with you can now get on and enjoy your time with your new kitten. Don't forget play is an important learning tool for your cat, as it will teach them about the world round them and help them to hone their natural hunting and survival skills.

Alopecia in Cats – Some Reasons For Feline Hair Loss



Why is My Cat Losing Her Hair?

Cats are very much like us in regard to their potential health issues. The loss of hair can be just as disturbing for them as it is for us to see. There are many causes to this problem, some of which are attributed to mental and physical issues, some of which are down to the most normal of reasons. Some cases of alopecia (hair loss) in cats may require medical treatment by a vet.

Often cats may develop dermatitis or an allergic reaction to a certain substance such as foods, chemicals, fumes, plants, pollen or dust. These can be either be inhaled or in direct contact with the skin. Their skin can become red and inflamed, often showing bumps or blisters. This can then result in hair loss in that specific area or in their ears or coat.
