Any behavior that is not “normal’ for your cat, should prompt a phone call to us (412) 681-1122. If you are not sure, call anyway. We can help you decide whether or not to schedule and examination by our veterinarian. A few of the more common problems you may be concerned about are:
*LETHARGY AND/OR HIDING BEHAVIOR If your cat seems to be hiding more than usual, and especially with any of the following symptoms:
*NOT EATING OR A DROP IN APPETITE If your cat has not been eating or has been picking at its food over the past two meals
*VOMITING Most cats vomit hairballs routinely. Vomiting is a concern if the vomiting continues to several times in a day
*DIARRHEA If loose stools or diarrhea lasts more than a day, or is accompanied with other symptoms
*WEIGHT LOSS
When in doubt, call to speak to one of our staff who can help you make a decision as to the severity of the problem and need to see a veterinarian
