Blood pressure (key for senior cats)

Hypertension is the silent killer of senior cats: it can suddenly cause blindness (retinal detachment), seizures and strokes, and damages kidneys and heart. Measurement is painless — screen every cat over 7 at each visit.

🧾 検査前の準備

  • ✓Let the pet settle 5-10 minutes before measuring
  • ✓Multiple readings for a stable value
  • ✓Dogs get hypertension too — screen CKD dogs as well

💡 読み方のポイント Feline hypertension is almost always secondary: CKD, hyperthyroidism and diabetes are the three backgrounds — treat the root. Before blindness there is often dilated pupils and bumping into things.

よくある質問

Can I measure at home?

Yes — cuff-style pet monitors cost around a hundred dollars; vets can teach you. Home values avoid white-coat effect.

Is hypertension treatable?

Yes — amlodipine controls it well while the background disease (e.g. CKD) is treated; blindness risk drops significantly.
