Veterinary Information
Gina has been spayed
Gina came into CatNaps care with significant oral health issues which was diagnosed as stomatitis or general inflammation of her entire mouth. She required extensive dental extractions as part of the treatment plan, and only her canine teeth remain. This does not stop Gina from eating normally and enjoying her food! Her condition responded well to a small maintenance dose of prednisolone steroid, administered every 3 days. Gina will come with an ample supply of her medication to last many months. It was also recommended that she be on a veterinary hypoallergenic diet and a good supply of her food will be provided to her adopter.
Gina experienced upper respiratory infection while in foster care and has since recovered well. This is usually caused by the feline herpes simplex virus and is very common in rescued cats and kittens. We helped manage this kitty cold by adding a common amino acid supplement, lysine, to wet food daily. A cat may have a flare-up of symptoms in future due to stress, such as a change of environment such as an adoption centre and/or new home. A document explaining this in more detail will be included with the health record card given at time of adoption.

Specific diagnostic testing may also have been done as each cat's health may warrant while in CatNap's care. Should you wish to have more detailed information before submitting an application, please contact adoptions@catnapsociety.com
