Appreciate the question — let's unpack this. Cats can be wonderful companions, and I want to help ensure yours stays happy and healthy. It's important to look out for any changes in behavior, appetite, or litter box habits, as these can signal underlying issues.
Some common concerns might include digestive upsets, which can cause vomiting or diarrhea, often from dietary indiscretion or hairballs. For minor cases, ensure your cat has plenty of fresh water and consider offering smaller, more frequent meals. If hairballs are the culprit, regular grooming and a diet rich in fiber can help.
Another concern could be urinary problems, especially in males who are prone to blockages. Signs of this include straining, frequent trips to the litter box, or vocalizing while urinating. In this case, seek immediate veterinary attention as it can be life-threatening.
Be sure to monitor any weight changes, ear scratching, and coughing or sneezing as these might indicate allergies or more serious health issues.
If your cat seems sluggish, isn't eating, or keeps hiding, these are signals you shouldn't ignore. When you notice any of these red flags or if something seems off, it’s wise to consult a veterinarian.

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
