I'm sorry to hear that you're facing such a difficult situation with your beloved cat. It’s always tough to consider euthanasia, and getting a second opinion is a wise step.
There could be several underlying reasons your local vet might think euthanasia is the best option, like severe, untreatable illness or significant pain that affects quality of life. Common issues include advanced kidney disease, certain cancers, or severe injury. Have you noticed your cat showing signs of distress, such as frequent vomiting, refusal to eat, drastic weight loss, or hiding more than usual? These can indicate serious issues.
At home, try to create a comforting environment for your cat. Make sure they have easy access to their favorite resting spots, fresh water, and a clean litter box. Keep their space quiet and stress-free. However, please be cautious—if you notice labored breathing, constant crying, or if your cat seems unable to move comfortably, these are serious signs that need immediate attention.
It's crucial to discuss all options and next steps thoroughly. A video consult with us at Dial A Vet can provide further insight. We'll explore your cat’s condition together, help you understand all possible options, and hopefully offer some peace of mind. Please consider booking a session where we can delve deeper into your cat’s health and 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
