Thanks for the question! I know it can be worrying when your feline friend isn’t feeling their best. Cats are good at hiding discomfort, so it’s important to be observant. Common symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or a lack of appetite might just be a mild tummy upset, often resolved with some rest and a return to a balanced diet.
Ensure your cat stays hydrated, especially if they're vomiting or have diarrhea. You can encourage fluid intake by offering fresh water frequently. Sometimes, withholding food for 12-24 hours can help their digestive system reset, but make sure it’s no longer than that.
However, if your cat is experiencing persistent vomiting, frequent diarrhea, lethargy, or rapid changes in weight, it could signal something more serious like an infection, kidney issues, or hyperthyroidism.
Watch for warning signs like difficulty breathing, excessive drooling, or a bloated abdomen, which could indicate an emergency. If your cat seems to be in severe discomfort or if the symptoms persist longer than 24-48 hours, it’s best to seek veterinary advice promptly.
To address your specific concerns, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet so we can discuss your cat’s symptoms in detail and ensure they get the care they need. We’re here to help!

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
