Worms (Internal Parasites) in Cats
The study of parasites is called parasitology, and it involves diagnosing and treating worms in cats. It is an important discipline because internal parasites cause death and disease worth billions of dollars in animals each year. These parasites have highly evolved life cycles that make their elimination impossible. In addition, many internal parasites affect people with the potential for serious consequences. Cats and kittens are routinely infected with internal parasites, sometimes without apparent evidence of the infestation until it is too late. This means that a pet can have internal parasites even though the fecal sample is negative. It is

Mast Cell Tumors in Cats
Introduction Some cats will get a malignant Mast Cell Tumor (MCT) in their lifetime. Other names for MCT are mast cell sarcoma, histiocytic mastocytoma, and mastocytosis. This disease has a cutaneous form (skin) and a systemic form (internal organs). The cutaneous form is more prevalent, and is sometimes referred to as the “great pretender” because the skin growth appearance is so variable. What might seem like just a minor swelling or inflamed area can be a highly malignant cancer. It might also be called the “great fooler” because most people underestimate the problem. MCTs have the potential to be highly malignant and
