My cat is sick and getting worse :(

I'm sorry to hear that your cat isn't feeling well. Let's see if we can help figure out what's happening and make sure they’re comfortable.



Cats can show they're sick in various ways, such as not eating, being less active, vomiting, having diarrhea, or breathing differently. Since your kitty is getting worse, it's important to observe any additional symptoms. Causes can range from minor issues, like an upset stomach, to more serious conditions, such as organ problems or infections.



At home, make sure your cat has a quiet, warm space to rest. Encourage them to drink water, as staying hydrated is crucial, especially if they’re vomiting or have diarrhea. You can try offering a small amount of their favorite food to see if they'll eat.



Watch closely for signs of a serious issue, including severe lethargy, difficulty breathing, pale gums, continuous vomiting or diarrhea, or any signs of pain, like vocalizing when touched. These symptoms mean a vet visit is necessary as soon as possible.



I recommend scheduling a video consult with one of our veterinarians through Dial A Vet as soon as possible. They can provide more tailored advice and help you determine the next steps to ensure your feline friend starts feeling better soon.
