Charlottesville Cat Care Clinic

Preventive Care

Dental Care
At Charlottesville Cat Care Clinic in Charlottesville, VA, we believe that cat dental care is critical to your cat’s health and quality of life. Knowing your cat’s oral hygiene needs can help you take proper care of your feline friend.
Vaccination
Vaccinations – Vaccinations help protect your cat from common diseases. As a part of our standard services, we’ll help your cat keep up with his or her booster schedule by providing you with regular reminders. We tailor the vaccines and scheduling based on your cat’s needs.
Veterinary Ophthalmology
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) is the technical term for a condition also known as ‘dry eye.’ It occurs because of inadequate tear production. Symptoms include a thick, yellowish discharge from the eye.
Behavioral Counseling
A common medical condition in older dogs that results from abnormal brain function, causing certain behavior changes such as disorientation, housebreaking problems, and changes in sleeping patterns and interactions with others.
Nutritional Counseling
In diabetics, regardless of the source of the sugar or the amount of sugar in the blood, there is not enough glucose transported into the body’s cells. As a result, there is not enough energy for the cells to function normally, and, the tissues become starved for energy. This state of metabolic “starvation” causes the body to breakdown fat and muscle tissue, which is then converted by the liver to sugar. (This breakdown of body tissues results in the weight loss often seen in diabetic patients.)
Comprehensive Examination
We are also able to sedate or anesthetize your cat (if needed) in order to be clipped. Cats must be fasted for anesthetic procedures. If your cat is not a client or is past due for an exam, a physical exam can be performed by one of our Veterinarians to ensure the safety of your cat for anesthesia.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Wet years are especially hazardous where your cat’s health is concerned; runoff draws various microscopic parasites and other organisms out of the ground and deposits them onto the topsoil or in puddles. They can also be transmitted by ingesting rodents and fecal matter (when the cat grooms himself). Internal parasites may include roundworms, hookworms, lungworms and urinary tract parasites. Tapeworms are another common intestinal parasite, typically transmitted by ingesting fleas when your cat is grooming or eating rodents.
Behavioral Disorder Treatment
In the past, feline panleukopenia (FP) was a leading cause of death in cats. Today, it is an uncommon disease, due in large part to the availability and use of very effective vaccines. The disease is also called feline distemper or feline parvo.
Pain Management
Pain Management. Older cats can develop conditions like arthritis, which can make them very uncomfortable in normal, everyday life. We give the cat owners of Charlottesville advice that helps them keep their cats comfortable and happy.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
These parasites can be extremely irritating to pets and can cause serious skin problems or even carry disease. Modern medicines make treatment, control, and prevention of many external parasites much easier than in the past.
Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
A deadly feline parasite is the heartworm. Heartworms invade the body while still in their larval form by the bite of a mosquito. They typically settle in the arteries in the lungs. The larval forms cause serious damage to the airways. Sometimes they mature into long, thin, spaghetti-shaped worms. While cats are not a primary heartworm target and may only carry a couple of worms at most, even a single worm can set off a fatal immune system reaction when they die. These reactions can be quite sudden, with your cat displaying signs of Heartworm Associated Respiratory Disease such as coughing and vomiting. Your cat might even appear totally fine, only to experience an abrupt fatal episode.

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
Vaccine which should only be given to animals at increased risk of exposure to a disease, example, leptospirosis in dogs or feline leukemia in cats (see core vaccine).
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
The feline parvovirus infects and kills cells that are rapidly growing and dividing, such as those in the bone marrow, intestines, and the developing fetus.
Feline Retro Virus Treatment
Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is one of the most common infectious diseases in cats, affecting between 2 and 3% of all cats in the United States. Infection rates are significantly higher (up to 30%) in cats that are ill or otherwise at high risk (see below). Fortunately, the prevalence of FeLV in cats has decreased significantly in the past 25 years since the development of an effective vaccine and accurate testing procedures.
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Treatment focuses on correcting dehydration, providing nutrients, and preventing secondary infection. Although antibiotics do not kill the virus, they are often necessary because infected cats are at a higher risk of bacterial infections because their immune systems are not fully functioning (due to the decreased white blood cells) and because bacteria from the damaged gut may enter the cat’s bloodstream and cause infection.
Urinary Tract Infection Treatment
Advice: Assess the area near the litter box, including the litter. Make an appointment with your veterinarian in Charlottesville to make sure your cat does not have a urinary tract infection or other health problem.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Diabetes Treatment
Diabetes mellitus, or diabetes, is a condition that occurs when the body can not use glucose (a type of sugar) normally. Glucose is the main source of energy for the body’s cells. The levels of glucose in the blood are primarily controlled by a hormone called insulin, which is made by the pancreas.
Vestibular Disease Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
It occurs more often in cats five to seven years of age, although the age range of reported cases ranges from three months to 17 years, with most cases affecting males. Heart murmurs in older cats are generally caused by hyperthyroidism or hypertension rather than HCM.
Heart Disease Treatment
Male cats (neutered or intact) are at greater risk for urethral obstruction than females because their urethra is longer and narrower. This is a true medical emergency, and any cat suspected of suffering from this condition must receive immediate veterinary attention. Once the urethra becomes completely blocked, the kidneys are no longer able to remove toxins from the blood or maintain a balance of fluids and electrolytes in the body. Without treatment, death frequently occurs when these imbalances lead to heart failure — often in less than twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
Kidney Disease Treatment
Grapes and raisins, as well as onions, garlic, and chives, are all extremely harmful foods for cats. Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure — although the reasoning behind that isn’t clear. Meanwhile, onions, garlic, and chives wreak havoc on your cat’s gastrointestinal system and can cause anemia.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Dental examinations and cleanings. We give senior cats regular dental exams to check for problems like cracked teeth, missing and loose teeth, plaque buildup, periodontal disease and more. When your cat is having a problem like a tooth or gum infection, we can provide measures to keep your cat’s mouth healthy.
Cancer Treatment
Treatment of a disease with chemical agents (drugs); the term is most commonly used to describe the treatment of cancer with medication.

Seizure Treatment
Wound and Fracture Care
Cats at greatest risk of FeLV infection are those that may be exposed to infected cats, either via prolonged close contact or through bite wounds. Such cats include cats living with infected cats or with cats of unknown infection status, cats allowed outdoors unsupervised where they may be bitten by an infected cat, and kittens born to infected mothers.
Poisoning Treatment

Veterinary Surgery
We routinely perform ovariohysterectomies, castrations, exploratory surgeries, mass removals, and many other surgical procedures. Dr. Mahanes really enjoys soft tissue surgery. Onychectomies (declaws) for new patients are performed ONLY after physical exam and discussion with the Veterinarian performing the procedure. Existing patients must consult a member of our technicial staff prior to scheduling declaws We want to be sure our clients completely understand the procedure and alternatives. All anesthetic patients are reviewed by the Veterinarian performing the procedure/surgery to make sure heart and lungs sound clear and no symptoms of disease are present prior to pre-medications and anesthesia being administered. The Veterinary staff utilizes pain medications, sedatives, and nerve blocks (when needed) for all surgical procedures. Patient comfort is a top priority at Cat Care. All patients are treated as if they are our own personal family members.
Declawing
Declawing remains a controversial topic in companion animal medicine. Declawing is a major surgery involving amputation and is not medically necessary for the cat in most cases. There are, however, some situations in which declawing may be considered, such as when a cat’s excessive or inappropriate scratching behavior causes risk of injury to immunocompromised people or remains destructive despite conscientious attention to behavioral modification and alternatives.
Spaying and Neutering
Surgery - If your cat needs surgery, you've got a friend in our Charlottesville veterinarian. Our clinic can perform a wide range of procedures, from emergency internal surgery to non-urgent wellness procedures such as spaying and neutering.

Laboratory Services
If your cat has been exhibiting any symptoms that concern you, we will discuss these with you and look for possible causes. If we detect any abnormalities during routine physicals. Our veterinary team can conduct blood work, take X-rays and do other diagnostic work in house. We can also provide you with specialist referrals when needed.
X-Ray
Digital radiography – Digital radiography, like ultrasound, will help us see what’s going on inside your cat. It is particularly helpful in looking at lung and bone problems or searching for urinary tract stones.
Microchipping
Microchipping – By installing a microchip into your cat, you help to ensure that your feline friend will be returned in the event that he or she ever becomes lost.

General Pet Care

Boarding
If you’ve owned a cat for any period of time, you know that these animals have special needs — not just in terms of food and water or medical care, but also in their preferences for particular environments. When you must be away from your cats for a significant period of time, they may experience separation anxiety and loneliness; put them in a kennel full of barking dogs, however, and they’ll be just as miserable there even if their other basic needs are met. That’s why Charlottesville Cat Care Clinic is happy to provide feline-friendly boarding services for cats just like yours.
Grooming
Hairballs occur as a result of your cat grooming and swallowing hair. All cats groom themselves. Swallowing hair when they do so is a normal occurrence. Normally, the cat’s digestive system is able to handle the hair and it simply passes through the intestinal tract and out in the feces. However, in some instances, rather than passing through the intestinal tract, the hair is vomited instead — this may seem like the cat is coughing up a hairball.
Senior Pet Care
Senior cat care - Senior cats tend to have more health problems and run a higher risk for organ failure. We can treat age-related ailments and help your cat enjoy his "retirement years."
