My 4 year old cat has been sick for a few days and after 3 vet visits we still don't know what's wrong.

Thanks for reaching out, and I’m sorry to hear that your cat isn’t feeling well. It must be incredibly frustrating to have seen the vet multiple times without a clear answer. Let’s try to break down some possibilities.



Cats often exhibit signs of illness through changes in behavior, appetite, or litter box habits. Common causes include gastrointestinal issues, infections, or stress-related problems. If your cat is vomiting, has diarrhea, or seems lethargic, it could be related to something they’ve eaten or a minor intestinal upset.



At home, make sure your cat has access to fresh water and encourage hydration, as this is crucial if they’ve been losing fluids. You can offer small, easily digestible meals to see if that helps settle their stomach.



However, keep an eye out for serious symptoms, like persistent vomiting, blood in stool or vomit, severe lethargy, or a sudden drop in weight. These could indicate more severe issues, such as a blockage, organ problems, or a severe infection.



If your cat’s symptoms seem to be worsening or if you notice any of these serious signs, it’s important to consult with a vet urgently. I strongly recommend booking a video consult with one of our veterinarians at Dial A Vet to discuss your cat's condition in more detail and explore further diagnostic options.
