Run your hand through the fur checking
for mats, burrs, foxtails, or sores of

skin for redness, sores, hair loss, dark
granular debris (flea dirt) or live fleas.
Another good tool is to run you hands
over every part of your pet periodically.
Note any changes – are there any lumps,
bumps or swellings that were not there
before?
Muscles, joints and nerves: Watch
for limping, swelling, or asymmetry to

as “being able to feel the ribs, but not

stools normal in size, color, shape and
consistency? Are the volumes of urine

important for male cats)?
Noting changes in these areas does
