Cat is sick, should I cancel my trip?

Hi there,



I'm sorry to hear your cat isn't feeling well! Deciding whether to cancel your trip can be tough, so let's explore your options. Cats often hide their illnesses, so noticing changes in behavior or appetite could indicate something is off. Common reasons for a cat feeling unwell include digestive issues, stress, or minor infections.



Start by observing your cat closely. Look for signs such as persistent vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or a lack of appetite, which could suggest something more serious. If your cat is just a bit quieter, it might be due to stress or a mild digestive upset, especially if there have been recent changes at home.



For at-home care, ensure your cat has plenty of fresh water and their usual food available. Offering a quiet, comfortable space can help reduce stress. Place their litter box, food, and water close by to minimize movement.



If your cat shows signs like severe distress, repeated vomiting, bloody stool, or extreme lethargy, it could be indicative of a more serious problem that needs attention from a vet as soon as possible.



I recommend scheduling a video consult with Dial A Vet. It’s a convenient way to assess your cat’s condition with a professional before making your travel decision.



Take care!
