Your cat's warm temperature and sluggish behavior after a vet visit can be concerning, even if the initial blood work was normal. It's important to monitor her condition closely and be alert to any changes.
- Take note of any additional symptoms that may appear
- Ensure your cat stays comfortable and hydrated
- Consider a follow-up if there’s no improvement to rule out underlying issues
It's not uncommon for cats to experience a temporary phase of lethargy, especially after a vet visit, which can be stressful for them. However, if your cat remains unusually warm or her sluggishness worsens, it could indicate a concern that merits further attention. Your vet is the best person to guide you, but don't hesitate to seek a second opinion if you feel unsure.
