Thanks for the question. High calcium levels in your cat's blood, known as hypercalcemia, is something to watch closely. There are several potential causes, ranging from dietary issues to more serious conditions. Common reasons include dehydration, certain diets, or underlying diseases like hyperparathyroidism or some types of cancer.
At home, you can focus on making sure your cat is well-hydrated. Ensure they have constant access to fresh water and you might encourage drinking by offering water in different bowls or a pet fountain. You can also increase the moisture content in their diet by incorporating wet food, if they aren't already on it.
Watch for symptoms like vomiting, constipation, increased thirst, urination, or lethargy. If these occur, or if your cat seems to be in pain or discomfort, it’s time for a deeper dive.
Even if your cat currently seems okay, it's essential to address high calcium levels to prevent any potential problems down the road. I recommend booking a video consult with us on Dial A Vet. We can work together to narrow down the cause and decide on the best and safest steps moving forward.

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
