Your cat and the dangers to its health!!!

Keeping a pet is not just about feeding it and playing with it, as a pet owner you need to make sure that your pet is healthy and disease free. At insuranceforpets, we know that taking your cat to the vet regularly can burn a pretty deep hole in your pocket, so we insist that pet owners take an insurance cover for their beloved pets. You must be thinking that this is not for you, as your cat is fit and fine. Trust us in this; if you have a cat, at some point of time or the other, you will need to make a visit to the vet, as they are prone to certain medical conditions. Moreover, the regular healthcare and visit to the vet can be quite expensive as well; our insurance cover will help you take care of all this.

At insuranceforpets, we know what it is to lose a pet, just because you did not have the required money for its treatment. It can be devastating not only for you, but for your entire family as well. So, we have come up with a list of some of the common diseases that can affect the different breeds of cats. We want all cat owners to know about these conditions, the cause of it, the treatment required and more importantly the cost involved. We know all this is quite expensive and that is why we insist that you take an insurance cover for your cat.

Diseases your cat can fall prey to:

Disease	Effects	Cause	Cost of treatment (estimated)	Breed/Age
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) - It is the inflammation of one of the layers in the intestinal wall.	IBD can cause change in appetite (anorexia, inappetence, or ravenousness), weight loss, and lethargy.	IBD is an immune-mediated hypersensitive reaction to indiscriminate antigens, including enteric bacteria and dietary components	Expensive treatment including medications and hospitalization	A pedigree breed of any age can be affected
Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) - The virus weakens the immune system and various problems of a chronic nature (anemia, infections, etc.) develops.	With appropriate care and under ideal conditions, infected cats can remain in apparent good health for many months, although most succumb to a FeLV-related disease within two or three years after becoming infected.	It is caused by a retrovirus that is spread from cat to cat by saliva and respiratory secretions. Kittens born to mothers that have the virus are infected in the womb.	Expensive treatment ranging from $308 to $489 excluding hospitalization, medication and the vet’s fees	Cat of any breed and age is susceptible to this virus.
Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease - It is a disease of the urinary tract; it is related to the buildup of crystals, leading to inflammation of the lining of the urinary bladder and urethra.	The male cat is highly at risk and the disease can turn out to be life threatening, if not treated properly on time. If the blockage persists for 3-6 days, the toxin build up can result in death.	The crystals which are formed in the bladder and urethra are caused by many factors. They include urinary tract, diet, infections, and others.	Expensive treatment including medications, surgery and hospitalization is required. Some cats may require prolonged treatment.	Cat of any breed and age is susceptible to this virus.
Diabetes Mellitus - It is lack of insulin that causes the blood glucose to go abnormally high. Normal blood glucose levels in a cat varies from 80 to 150, but can temporarily go much higher (300-400 or more)	Cats can suffer from long term complications as a result of this condition. The blood glucose levels needs to be monitored regularly to ensure that this is within limits.	It is caused by the insufficient production of insulin and the inability of the body to handle insulin efficiently and other diseases.	Treatment is not very expensive, but the cat needs to be under prolonged medication. The cost of the treatment can be a minimum of $200/year.	Older and obese cats are more prone to this condition.
Ear Mites - This is a common problem with cats and it can cause quite a significant amount of discomfort	Ear mites are disturbing as they can cause lots of discomfort to the cat	An ear mite is caused most commonly by a parasite called Otodectes. It is spread by contact and is especially prevalent in outdoor cats	Herbal treatment for ear mites can cost $43 to $131	Common for cats of all breeds and age groups, however young cats are more prone to this.
Ferret Adrenal Disease - An adrenal disease is a tumor on the adrenal gland, which is located in front of the kidneys.	The tumor can cause difficulty in urination, excess secretion of estrogen in females and testosterone in males.	The exact reason for this tumor is unknown. It is seen more in the U.S. than Great Britain. It is speculated that diet, exposure to sunlight, and age of neutering are all important factors.	Surgery is recommended for the removal of this tumor. The surgery can cost a minimum of $200 and can go up to $1000	Cats of all breeds above two years of age are at risk.
Feline Neutering (orchectomy) – Also known as castrating, this is commonly adopted by cat owners to prevent unacceptable sexual behavior	Neutering helps in controlling the population of cats	Neutering is generally done on a male cat. If not neutered, the cat can wander and roam about, fight with other cats and gets strongly attracted to the females cats	Varied costs	It is advised to neuter cats between the age of eight and sixteen weeks.

Consider and compare the cost of treatment for even the most common diseases, the routine health care and vaccinations required for your cat, as well as the normal veterinary visit costs. You will realize that a nominal premium to be paid on your pet’s health insurance will be much more economical in the long run. Now your pet can be insured for premiums starting at a range as low as $22 per month for certain insurance plans. Sign up for insurance for your pet and forget about financial requirements for your pet’s care.
