Wellness check-ups are recommended for your kitten from 6 to 12 weeks of age. Included in these check-ups are a series of examinations and vaccinations including rabies, panleukopenia (distemper), leukemia, etc.
In addition, your kitten will be tested for worms and be treated for the most common intestinal worm of kittens – roundworms. Roundworms can cause your kitten to vomit and / or experience diarrhea; however, it is possible for your kitten to have roundworms and not show any signs of harboring the worms. A microscopic fecal examination will allow us to evaluate the presence of these worms.
The examination will also look for other types of worms as well as Giardia and coccidia that can affect your kitten.
We look forward to meeting your new kitten! Schedule your appointment today.
