My cat was diagnosed with cancer today

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat's diagnosis. I know this can be an incredibly difficult and emotional time. Let's talk about what this might mean and how you can support your furry friend at home.



Cancer in cats can have various causes, such as genetic factors, environmental exposures, or simply aging. It's important to work closely with your vet to understand the type and stage of cancer, as this will guide your treatment options. This may include surgery, chemotherapy, or palliative care to keep your cat comfortable.



At home, focus on maintaining a calm and stress-free environment for your cat. Make sure they're eating well and staying hydrated, as these are crucial for their strength and well-being. Soft bedding and easy access to litter boxes can help make them comfortable.



Keep an eye out for changes in behavior, appetite, or mobility, as well as any signs of pain, like hiding or vocalizing more than usual. These could indicate the need for immediate attention or reassessment of their care plan.



When you're ready, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. We can provide personalized advice, answer any more questions you have, and help you navigate the road ahead with your beloved pet.
