The situation with cats, as compared to dogs and birds, is much more interesting.
而貓的情況與狗和鳥相比,就更有趣了。
On the one hand, cats are predators, but on the other, they're small enough to be prey.
一方面,貓是食肉動物;另一方面,它們身材矮小很容易被捕食。
So how can you tell if your smaller pets need medical attention?
所以你要怎樣判斷寵物需要醫藥治療呢?
For one thing, trust your hunches.
首先,相信預感。
No one knows your pets like you do, so if you notice even very subtle changes in habits and behavior, you may want to have a vet look them over.
沒有人比你更了解你的寵物。當你注意到它們生活習慣上盡管是非常微小的變化,也要請獸醫對其進行檢查。
For a cat, other signs of illness might be that it has stopped grooming, is losing weight, vocalizing more or less than usual, or missing the litter box.
而貓生病的其它征兆,可能就是精神不振,食欲不佳等癥狀。
