A sunken appearance in a cat's abdomen can be concerning. While your cat is acting normally, it's important to monitor this symptom closely.
- Observe for any changes in eating or drinking habits
- Check for any additional signs of distress or illness
- Maintain a relaxed environment to monitor any behavioral changes
A sunken abdomen might indicate issues like dehydration or weight loss. Ensure your cat is eating and drinking normally and watch for any signs of lethargy or discomfort. If she continues to behave normally, it may not be urgent, but staying observant is key.
