Hello! I'm sorry to hear your cat hasn't been feeling well for such a long time. It can be distressing when our furry friends are not their usual selves. There could be various reasons your cat is in bad shape, such as an underlying illness, malnutrition, or even stress.
Some potential causes could include digestive issues like inflammatory bowel disease, dental problems making it hard to eat, or a chronic condition like kidney disease or hyperthyroidism. Cats are also quite sensitive to environmental changes, which can contribute to stress-related issues.
At home, make sure your cat is comfortable and has access to fresh water and food. Try offering bland foods or a species-appropriate diet, and maintain a calm environment to reduce stress.
It's essential to watch out for specific signs that may need immediate attention, such as significant weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, or changes in drinking and urination habits. Lethargy, hiding for extended periods, and any signs of pain are also concerning.
I encourage you to book a video consult with one of our veterinarians at Dial A Vet. They can provide a more accurate diagnosis and guide you through the next steps, which might include a physical exam or diagnostic tests. We're here to help ensure your feline friend gets back to their playful, happy self!

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
