Your cat has recently been treated for a urinary tract blockage, and it's understandable to be concerned about her recovery, especially if she's showing signs of fatigue and reduced appetite.
- Ensure she has access to clean, fresh water at all times.
- Encourage her to eat by offering small, palatable meals.
- Monitor her for any concerning changes in behavior or health.
After a urinary tract blockage, it's natural for your cat to feel a bit under the weather as she recovers. Providing a quiet, comfortable environment will help her rest. Encourage her to drink plenty of water to support her urinary health and offer small meals to stimulate her appetite. Keep a close watch for any signs of renewed discomfort, such as straining to urinate or discoloration in urine, and reach out for veterinary advice if you're concerned.
