Cues for Vet Visits

Cats are experts at hiding pain, making it tough to know when they need a trip to the vet. With early detection and disease prevention in mind, here are some early signs of illness in felines:
  • Prolonged vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea
  • Fever, poor appetite, decreased or increased water consumption
  • Rapid, shallow, labored, or raspy breathing
  • Poor motor coordination, staggering, lameness, or collapse
  • Panting, pacing, or agitation
  • Lethargy, withdrawal, or hiding
  • Persistent sneezing or coughing, runny nose and eyes
  • Bad breath or body odor
  • Pale gums, tongue, or ears
  • Lumps
This list is by no means exhaustive, so if you're ever in doubt, call your vet.
