Thank you for reaching out with your concern. High calcium levels in cats, known as hypercalcemia, can be concerning, especially alongside weight loss. This can be due to various issues ranging from diet, hormonal imbalances, to conditions like kidney disease or even certain types of cancer. It’s crucial to identify the underlying cause to provide the best treatment.
At home, ensure your cat stays hydrated by providing plenty of fresh water, which can help with calcium regulation. A balanced diet is also essential, so sticking to high-quality, appropriate food can be beneficial. However, dietary changes should be made cautiously and, ideally, under veterinary guidance.
Watch for any behavior changes, vomiting, increased thirst or urination, or lethargy, as these might indicate the situation is becoming more serious.
Ultimately, to tailor a treatment plan specific to your cat's needs, I recommend scheduling a video consult through Dial A Vet. This way, a vet can guide you through potential tests and treatments, ensuring your furry friend gets the personalized care they deserve.

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
