"Hi! I am Dr. Adrienne Mulligan. I am the owner of Camp Verde Veterinary Clinic. I am here to talk to you about taking care of cats with critical conditions, critical emergencies and health issues. So to bring all this to a close, I am talking about the things that cats can have happen to them in their lifetime, whether you find them on the side of the road injured, or whether they are strays that come to you with strange symptoms, or whether you have these cats from birth, and they are indoors and outdoors, and they come home with things that look like illnesses or injuries. Getting them to the vet is the number one thing to do, and sometimes you cannot right away because it is the weekend or whatever, so I have given you a few tips on what you can do about that; but the main thing is to get them to the vet. The other very important thing is, from the first time that you get a kitten or any stray that wanders in, you should make a visit to your veterinarian, have a few tests done to check for some of the nasty viruses, and get their vaccines started, get them de-wormed, get their vaccine series started. On a kitten you want to have a series of three or four vaccines about 2-3 weeks apart, and they should be between ages of 8 weeks and 12-16 weeks, and that is extremely important to prevent some of the things that we have talked about. And so if you get them out to that point, then you are not very likely to run into these diseases with your cats, you still have some injuries to deal with, but at least some of the other diseases you can prevent; and number one, number one, number one take them to the veterinarian, because a veterinarian can always diagnose better than you and treat better than you."
