Giving A/D to a cat dying of cancer?

Hi there,



I'm so sorry to hear about your cat's illness. It's truly a challenging time, and it's wonderful you're looking to make your pet as comfortable as possible. A/D food is often recommended for pets who are ill because it's nutrient-dense and easy to digest, which can be helpful if your cat has a reduced appetite or needs extra nutrition due to cancer.



Cancer can affect your cat's appetite and ability to eat, so offering small, frequent meals of A/D food may make eating more manageable. Mixing in a bit of warm water could enhance the food's aroma and make it even more appealing.



Keep an eye on signs that indicate your cat might need more immediate care: reduced eating or drinking over 24 hours, noticeable weight loss, labored breathing, or visible distress. Always ensure your cat has access to fresh water and a comfortable place to rest.



If your cat is showing any worrisome symptoms or you're unsure about their nutritional needs, it might be time for a more detailed discussion. Consider booking a video consult through Dial A Vet. We can talk through any concerns and tailor advice to your cat's specific situation.



Wishing you the best during this difficult time.
