My cat is lethargic and not eating lol

Thanks for reaching out with your concern. I’m here to help.



When a cat is lethargic and not eating, it’s often a sign that something is off, but it doesn't always indicate a serious problem. Cats can become unwell due to minor issues such as stress, a mild stomach upset, or even just a slight change in their routine or environment.



However, it could also point to more significant health problems, like an infection, kidney disease, or something as simple as dental pain. If you've noticed any vomiting, diarrhea, or unusual breathing, these can be signs that more urgent care is needed.



For now, ensure your cat has a quiet, comfortable place to rest. Offer fresh water and see if you can tempt them with a small portion of a favorite food or something gentle like plain, cooked chicken. Gently monitor their litter box usage, as changes in bathroom habits can also give clues about their health.



If your cat remains lethargic, goes more than 24-48 hours without eating, or exhibits any concerning symptoms, it's essential to seek veterinary attention. I'd recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet so we can take a closer look and give your kitty the care they need.
