Should i get my cat checked out?

Thanks for reaching out with your concern! It's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to our furry friends. Cats can be pretty good at hiding when they're not feeling well, so it's great that you're considering a check-up.



There are a few signs to look for that might indicate your cat needs veterinary attention. Changes in eating or drinking habits, vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, sneezing, or a sudden change in behavior (like hiding more than usual or not using the litter box) can be red flags. Physical signs like limping or unusual lumps are also important to keep an eye on.



For at-home care, make sure your cat has plenty of water and a quiet, comfortable place to rest. Monitoring their food and water intake can also provide clues about their health. If your cat seems stressed or anxious, consider using calming techniques like gently petting them or providing interactive toys to keep them engaged.



If you notice any of the serious symptoms I mentioned, or if your gut just tells you something is off, it's best to get a professional opinion. I'd recommend booking a video consult with one of our veterinarians at Dial A Vet to discuss your concerns more in-depth. They'll be able to guide you on the next steps and put your mind at ease.
