Bringing a new kitten home is a lot like welcoming a baby. I want to be prepared for the unexpected and plan as best as I can. But even the most sensible owners can’t control some things, so the playful and curious energy of your new little fluff ball could end up in the vet’s office more often than you’d like. So what can you expect?
Nationwide Pet Insurance surveyed actual member claims to see which health problems for cats under the age of 5 top the list each year. Check out below.
- eye infection
- ear infection
- abscess tooth
- Upper respiratory tract infection
- allergic dermatitis
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- asthma
- bladder infection
- skin infections
Also, if your cat does not yet have pet insurance, keep in mind that chronic problems such as ear infections and skin allergies may require treatment throughout their life (learn more here). ).
