Thank you for reaching out with such a difficult question—I'm here to help you consider all the options. Deciding to euthanize a beloved pet is incredibly emotional, and it's important to assess the situation calmly.
Firstly, observe your cat's quality of life. Signs that could indicate it's time to consider euthanasia include severe, unmanageable pain, visible distress, inability to eat or drink, or no longer engaging with the environment. If your cat is experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be time to consult with a professional.
However, if your cat has a treatable condition or if there’s been a recent decline, sometimes supportive at-home care can make a big difference. Ensure your cat has a comfortable, quiet place to rest and encourage fluid intake and feeding, even if just small, frequent meals.
Keep an eye on any changes—worsening in mobility, breathing difficulties, or vocalizing more than usual. These can suggest that your cat might need urgent medical attention.
It's important to approach this decision with as much information as possible. I highly recommend scheduling a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals to discuss your cat's specific symptoms and circumstances. We’re here to support you through this tough time.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
