Thanks for your question. It sounds like a worrying time for you and your cat, and I'm glad you're reaching out for more guidance. When a cat is facing a mystery illness, it can be challenging, especially when initial vet visits haven't pinpointed the exact cause. Possible reasons for ongoing illness could include infections, chronic conditions, or stress-related issues. Cats are also prone to hiding symptoms until they're quite sick, so catching it early is often tricky.
At home, monitor your cat's eating and drinking habits closely. Ensure they have fresh water and offer small amounts of their favorite food. If they're refusing to eat for more than 24 hours, contact your vet, as cats can develop serious liver issues due to malnutrition quite quickly. Keep their litter box clean, and watch for changes in urination or stool, like diarrhea or straining.
Look out for signs like persistent vomiting, lethargy, difficulty breathing, or any unusual behavior. These can signal a more serious problem needing immediate attention.
I recommend scheduling a video consult with a Dial A Vet professional. It's a convenient way to get immediate advice tailored to your specific situation, especially if you're observing new symptoms or if your cat's condition isn't improving. They're here to help guide you to the best care for your furry friend.

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
