 Inside Dante
The veterinarian is feeling Dante's organs through the skin. If a cat is not fat, it is possible to check the kidneys, liver, intestines and heart by hand.
It is very important to check for heartworms. Heartworms are very dangerous for cats. They can actually cause sudden death.
At the moment, there is no cure for them. There is only prevention. The doctor makes sure to tell all cat owners what they can do to protect their pets.
Everything feels good! No heartworms and no other problems. Hip! Hip! Meow!
Let's move on to shots. This is a very important part of the doctor's day and a very important part of veterinary medicine. |

Today wth the doctor's supervising, vet students give the shots for feline leukemia, feline distemper, and rabies. |
 |
| Blood also has to be taken to run tests. After they take the blood, some of it is put in this container to test for leukemia. |
 |
| Dirty needles get tossed into this special container so that no one else can use them. Do you know why that is so important? |
 |
| Let's check out Beanie and see how she is doing. |
