What is wrong with my cat??

Thanks for reaching out with your concern. I understand how worrying it can be when your cat isn’t feeling quite right. Cats can exhibit a variety of symptoms when they're unwell, and these can stem from many different causes.



Common issues include things like upset stomachs, which may cause vomiting or diarrhea, or perhaps a respiratory infection, usually indicated by sneezing or coughing. Cats are also prone to urinary problems, characterized by frequent trips to the litter box or straining. Behavioral changes like hiding or aggression can sometimes signal pain or stress.



At home, ensure your cat has easy access to fresh water and a quiet place to rest. If they're not eating, try offering a gentle, bland diet such as plain, boiled chicken. Keep an eye on litter box habits and note any changes.



Watch for signs that may indicate a more serious issue, such as persistent vomiting or diarrhea, difficulty breathing, blood in their stool or urine, or profound lethargy. If you notice any of these, it's best to seek veterinary attention promptly.



For peace of mind and tailored advice, I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. It's a great way to discuss your cat’s symptoms in detail and decide on the best course of action together.
