Hello there! I'm so glad you reached out about your 3-year-old cat who’s been dealing with pneumonia. It sounds like it’s been quite a journey, and I want to help you ensure your kitty has a smooth recovery at home.
Pneumonia in cats can be caused by bacterial, viral, or fungal infections, inhaling foreign objects, or allergens. Since your cat was hospitalized, you’re already on the right track. At home, your cat will benefit from a warm, quiet space to rest, away from drafts and other pets. Try to keep her stress levels low and encourage fluid intake, as staying hydrated can help with recovery.
Monitor your cat for any signs of difficulty breathing, extreme lethargy, persistent coughing, or loss of appetite. These can indicate that she is not recovering as expected, and you should contact a vet if they occur.
Keep an eye on any breathing changes—normal breathing should be smooth with no wheezing or labored breaths. If you notice any worsening symptoms, it might require more immediate attention.
If you notice any of these concerns or just want a follow-up on her progress, I encourage you to book a video consult with one of our vets here at Dial A Vet. It'll give us a chance to make sure she’s right on track towards getting all better!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
