    The Silent Killer: Understanding Feline Hypertension with Dr. Stephanie Bertini

    The Suncoast Vet Podcast with Dr. Chris welcomes a special guest, Dr. Stephanie Bertini from CEVA Animal Health, for an eye-opening conversation on a condition every cat owner should know about—feline hypertension, the “silent killer.” Hypertension in cats often hides in plain sight, showing little to no symptoms until it causes serious damage to vital organs like the kidneys, eyes, heart, and brain—sometimes even leading to sudden blindness. Most common in senior cats, 1 in 3 cats over 13 years old are affected, with risks skyrocketing up to 80% when kidney disease or hyperthyroidism is present. Dr. Stephanie breaks down why regular vet checks and blood pressure monitoring are essential for early detection, and how simple daily medication can dramatically improve quality of life and long-term outcomes.   Whether you’re a dedicated pet parent, a vet professional, or simply love learning about animal health, this episode will give you the knowledge and confidence to help keep your feline friends happy, healthy, and thriving into their golden years. Don’t miss this engaging and practical discussion—because a little awareness can make a world of difference for your cat! www.suncoastvet.com.au
