Worth repeating: BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS FOR CATS ARE ESSENTIALl!!
Hypertension can worsen #FelineCKD, and can cause other serious issues, including blindness. Watching trends in BP over time can allow for earlier intervention!! Please share!! #Caturday.

Think it's impossible to check cats' blood pressure?? Think again!! Handsome Rafa lives in Scotland with Lesley-Ann, one of our very kind supporters. He gets his blood pressure checked regularly at home, and is the very picture of relaxation:)

Caregivers shouldn't HAVE to ask the vet to check their pets' blood pressure. That should be a routine part of every physical exam, just like it is for humans. 🤨 #vetmed #vetsky #veterinary #veterinarymedicine #cats #CKD #hypertension #kidneys #renal #BP
On this #Caturday, we're here to remind you that blood pressure checks for cats are very impaw-tant! Hypertension can cause or worsen #FelineCKD, and cause numerous health problems, including blindness.

I did... though unfortunately my cat was pretty far along in his CKD at the time, & I didn't get to work with it for long. 😞 But I did find it helpful the few times we did use it.
