My Cat has bone cancer

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat's diagnosis; that’s undoubtedly tough news for any pet parent. Bone cancer in cats, often called osteosarcoma, can significantly affect their quality of life. It commonly causes pain, swelling, or limping in the affected area. You might notice your cat becomes less active or seems more irritable, which are common responses to discomfort.

While professional veterinary care is crucial, there are a few ways you can support your cat at home. Make sure she has a soft, comfortable place to rest, away from cold or damp areas. Providing a warm, safe spot can help ease her discomfort. Encouraging gentle, short movements or play, if she's willing, can prevent stiffness.

Pay attention to any new or worsening signs. Increased limping, difficulty moving around, loss of appetite, or significant behavior changes could indicate that her condition is progressing or that she's in more pain. If you notice these signs, it might be time for a vet evaluation.

Your presence is already a great comfort to her. To better guide you through care and pain management options tailored to her specific needs, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals. They can offer more personalized advice and help ensure the best possible quality of life for your furry friend.
