For most cat owners their furry loved ones are a huge part of the family-- AND because they are a part of the family their health is just as important. That’s why The Balancing Act is focusing on an important part of your cat’s healthcare—deworming. Join O2 Media’s The Balancing Act and Bayer Animal Health Tuesday, January 12th at 7:30am (ET/PT) as they air on Lifetime Television. Special guest Dr. Sherri Rigby DVM, from Bayer Animal Health along with her furry friends from the Broward County Humane Society discuss how deworming could make the difference between the life and death of your cat.
Reports show that around 82-million cats live in the United States, and 36-percent of cat-owning households do NOT receive veterinary care. As a result— many feline illnesses like tapeworms roundworms and hookworms go undiagnosed and untreated.
Balancing Act host Beth Troutman talks with Dr. Rigby about detecting if your cat is at risk—even if if they’re an indoor cat. Rigby says, “Certainly indoor cats may not have as much risk for infection as one that roams. However, indoor cats are exposed to fleas that serve as a source of tapeworm infection. Other pets in the household, especially dogs that go outside, serve as a source to bring infective forms of some parasites into the house where indoor cats could be exposed. Unfortunately, pet owners are often lax about preventive healthcare for their indoor cats because they don’t realize the risks exist. If left untreated, intestinal parasites in cats can cause: blood loss, diarrhea, vomiting, malnutrition, weight loss, anemia and even death.”
