When to Call the Veterinarian

Why Your Care Is As Important To Your Kitten’s Health As Your Veterinarian’s Job

You know your cat better than anyone, and if you’re worried, don’t hesitate to pick up the phone and call your veterinarian. It’s always better to be overly vigilant than regret later, and your veterinarian will never blame you for false alarms.

When to Call the Veterinarian

Call your veterinarian if you notice any of the following symptoms:

· Loss of appetite

· Vomit

Diarrhea or constipation

Cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

Bleeding

· Lameness

Pollution of the ears or eyes

Apathy, fatigue or reduced activity

Skin itching or severe redness

Strong thirst

Difficulty passing urine

· Meowing in pain

swollen paws or joints

· Anything that bothers you.

The last point is also important.
