Meet & Greet with feline veterinarian Christina Larsen, DVM at The Cat Practice
Feline veterinarian Christina Larsen, DVM, has joined The
Cat Practice in Birmingham. The Cat
Practice, Michigan’s
first cats-only veterinary hospital, provides advanced preventive and medical care with an emphasis on
early detection to help cats live longer, better and healthier lives.
Larsen provides all aspects of feline care with a special interest in feline behavior and emotional wellbeing, gastrointestinal diseases and aging /geriatrics. She takes an individualized approach to feline care that includes recognizing breed-specific health issues, identifying cats at high risk for health concerns and helping cat families spot health issues early.
“A cat’s family is more likely to spot changes in their cat
if they know what to look for,” Larsen says. “An important part of veterinary medicine is helping families recognize
signs of pain, changes in eating habits and other behaviors.”
