My cat is eating less and seems lethargic. Could it be serious?

[]

Answer

A decrease in appetite coupled with lethargy can be a sign of many underlying health issues in cats, ranging from dental problems or digestive upset to more serious conditions like kidney disease or infections. It's crucial not to let a cat go without eating for more than 24-36 hours, as this can lead to liver issues. Observe for other symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, changes in drinking habits, or hiding. A physical examination by a vet is recommended to determine the cause. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance before heading to a clinic.
