Florida Persians face severe heat intolerance from brachycephalic anatomy plus chronic eye discharge (Florida humidity worsens tear staining), making them among the most heat-vulnerable cats in the state. On top of those city-specific triggers, common breed predispositions include: Brachycephalic airway syndrome; Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) — autosomal dominant breed risk; Excessive tearing and tear staining; Dental crowding from short jaw.

Florida Persians face severe heat intolerance from brachycephalic anatomy plus chronic eye discharge (Florida humidity worsens tear staining), making them among the most heat-vulnerable cats in the state. Key environmental triggers: Brachycephalic + Florida heat = exercise intolerance + airway stress; Humidity worsens tear staining and skin fold dermatitis; PKD screening especially important — autosomal dominant.

Suspected urinary blockage (male cats — emergency), breathing difficulty, suspected toxin exposure (lily, antifreeze), or anything needing in-clinic diagnostics (x-rays, dental work, surgery) needs in-person care. RexVet handles triage by video first so you don't subject your cat to an unnecessary clinic visit.

RexVet's in-house pharmacy (RexVetRx) delivers same-day in most Tampa ZIP codes. Alternatively, prescriptions can be transferred to any local pharmacy. Refills can be managed entirely by $64.99 video visit.
