Severely anaemic cat and no resolution

Hi there,



I’m really sorry to hear that your cat is dealing with severe anemia. This can be tough to manage, but understanding the potential causes can be beneficial. Anemia in cats can happen for various reasons, such as blood loss due to injury or parasites like fleas and ticks, chronic kidney disease, or even an autoimmune disorder where the body mistakenly attacks its own red blood cells.



At home, it's crucial to keep your cat comfortable and minimize stress. Ensure your kitty has a cozy, quiet spot to rest and access to fresh water and nutritious food. Good hydration and nutrition can support their overall health. While it might be tricky if your cat is lethargic, gentle encouragement to eat and drink is important.



Watch out for signs like increased lethargy, pale gums, difficulty breathing, or weight loss. These can indicate that the situation may be worsening and requires immediate attention.



Anemia often requires veterinary intervention, and it’s essential to identify what's causing it to provide the best care. I recommend arranging a video consult with one of our vets here at Dial A Vet. They can assist in developing a plan to help your cat feel better and discuss any tests that might be necessary.



Wishing you and your feline friend all the best!
