Hello there! Great question. A feline internal medicine vet is a specialist who focuses on diagnosing and treating complex health issues in cats, much like how a human specialist would handle more intricate medical problems. These vets have extra training to tackle challenging conditions like chronic kidney disease, diabetes, or gastrointestinal disorders. They often work closely with your family vet for comprehensive care.
Think of your family vet as a primary care doctor for your cat—handling routine check-ups, vaccinations, and minor illnesses. They're perfect for general health needs and can guide you on when to see a specialist if a more complex issue arises.
For at-home care, keep an eye on your cat's eating habits, litter box use, and energy levels. Changes could indicate a need for a vet visit. Watch for signs like persistent vomiting, diarrhea, noticeable weight changes, or unusual lethargy. These could signal a serious issue that requires prompt attention.
If your cat is showing any concerning signs or if you've been grappling with an ongoing health issue and want more guidance, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. We're here to help with tailored advice for your cat's needs!

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
