Answer

Lethargy, hiding, and anorexia in cats can be signs of various underlying issues, ranging from mild discomfort to serious illness. It's crucial not to delay in situations like this. Possible causes include infections, pain, organ dysfunction, or even stress. Observe if there are any other symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, changes in urination, or difficulty breathing. Until you can get a professional diagnosis, ensure she has access to fresh water and a quiet, comfortable resting place. This requires prompt veterinary attention to identify the cause and initiate appropriate treatment. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance before visiting a clinic.
