Is My Cat Sick?

Do I need to take him to the Vet?

You need to call us to make an appointment for your cat if…

  • It is urinating outside of the litterbox
  • It has started vomiting
  • It has diarrhea
  • It is drinking excessively and/or urinating excessively
  • It’s attitude/behavior has dramatically changed
  • It has been coughing or sneezing
  • It has no appetite

Your cat needs to be seen immediately if…

  • It is open-mouth breathing (panting). Cats avoid doing this unless there is respiratory compromise.
  • Your cat (especially males) is straining in the litterbox and not producing urine.
  • Your cat has ingested a foreign object, toxin, or a human medication like Tylenol.
  • It has suffered head, abdomen, chest or any type of trauma
  • It is not responsive to you
