   Mazel getting treated for diabetes!   



Dear Cat lovers
I'm writing this post as an important health alert concerning our pet cats. Dr. Walter and I have been seeing more and more cases of critical illnesses like diabetes and kidney disease in our cat population. The problem is that cats often won't show any outward symptoms of these diseases until they are in the end stages and much more difficult to treat. We're not seeing kitties for their routine yearly visits (or twice a year as they get older) because the cats "SEEM" fine and healthy.....this is not always the case. Clients are bringing cats after not having had an exam for 2-3 years and the blood tests reveal terrible problems. However, if they had been detected earlier, they would be much easier to treat.
I recently saw 2 cats from the same household that I haven't seen for at least several years. According to their owner, the cats were fine and just getting caught up on their vaccines. Whilst examining them prior to giving the vaccines, we found that the ears (which looked fine from the outside) were completely blocked with solid wax...they probably had about 80% hearing loss for six months to a year, but showed no signs. The owners felt terrible!
This goes out to all you cat lovers who haven't seen the vet in about a year or more. Let's get in to South Beach Animal Hospital and make sure everything is as good as it SEEMS!!!!!
