Hello there! It's completely understandable to be concerned about your cat, and I'm here to help ease your worries. Rabies is a rare but serious disease, especially in cats. If your cat is fully vaccinated, the risk is quite low.
The classic symptoms of rabies in cats can include sudden behavioral changes, unprovoked aggression, excessive drooling, and lack of coordination. However, many other conditions can lead to similar signs, such as anxiety, dental issues, or even an injury.
At home, observe your cat closely. Look for other indications such as changes in appetite, lethargy, or any physical injuries that might cause discomfort. Providing a quiet, safe space and calming their environment can also help if the behavior changes stem from stress.
It’s important to watch for serious signs like seizures, prolonged aggression, or paralysis. If your cat starts showing these or if you're still uncertain, it’s crucial to consult a vet as soon as possible.
I'd recommend scheduling a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. We can assess your cat's symptoms in more detail and guide you on the next best steps. Your peace of mind and your cat's wellness are what matter most. Take care!

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
