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.
