Hello! First off, I'm glad your cat is safe and back with you. After such an ordeal, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure she's doing well.
Being trapped for 4.5 days can lead to dehydration, hunger, and stress. Make sure she has access to fresh water and start feeding her small, easy-to-digest meals to help her gradually regain her strength. Some cats may also need some quiet time, in a calm environment, as they adjust back from the stress.
Watch for signs of dehydration like sunken eyes, lethargy, or a poor appetite, and check her for any injuries she may have sustained in there. If she urinated or defecated while trapped, be on the lookout for any unusual odor or color in her litter box usage afterward, as this can indicate a health issue.
Some serious signs you should be cautious of include difficulty breathing, vomiting, not eating for more than 24 hours, or any visible injuries that appear swollen or infected. If you notice any of these, it’s important to seek veterinary care promptly.
If you're concerned about her condition or need further guidance, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets here at Dial A Vet. They'll be happy to help ensure your cat bounces back to her usual self.

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
