Super dehydrated cat, can not get fluids into him.

Hello there, I'm sorry to hear that your cat is feeling under the weather. Dehydration in cats can be a sign of various issues, from mild conditions like not drinking enough water to more serious problems such as kidney disease or diabetes. Cats can become dehydrated if they have been vomiting, had diarrhea, or are not eating or drinking adequately.

First, try to encourage your cat to drink. You can offer fresh, cool water in a clean bowl, or try using a cat water fountain, as some cats prefer moving water. Wet food can also be a good source of hydration, so offering more canned food might help. Adding a small amount of tuna juice or chicken broth (without onions or garlic) to their water can also entice them to drink more.

Watch for signs of severe dehydration, such as sunken eyes, lethargy, loss of appetite, or dry gums. If your cat's skin, when gently pinched, doesn’t quickly return to its normal position, it may be a sign of significant dehydration.

If these signs are present or your cat continues to refuse fluids, it’s important to seek veterinary care promptly. I highly recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. We can further assess your cat's condition and guide you through the next steps to ensure they get the care they need.
