Common signs of illness in kittens
Common health issues in kittens
During a kitten’s first year, they’re prone to a variety of illnesses and health issues. As a new owner, it can be difficult to know what’s normal and what are the signs of something more serious. Here are the key things to be aware of when it comes to kitten health:
Has your kitten’s behavior changed?
One of the most important things you can do is watch your kitten’s behavior closely. Any change that’s significantly out of character can be the first sign there’s something wrong. Look out for new behaviors such as aggression, restlessness, hiding, excessive mewing, or reduced appetite. If your kitten doesn’t seem themselves, contact your vet for guidance.
