Priority: Monitor


Overview

  • Closely watch your cat for the next 5-7 days.
  • Make a veterinary appointment if symptoms continue.
  • If symptoms change, repeat and revise the Symptom Checker.

Symptom Considerations

  • It is quite abnormal for most cats to have a decreased appetite.
  • Other symptoms can help identify the cause.
    • Please repeat the Pet Health Checker to assess symptoms not already addressed.
  • Some questions to prepare for:
    • When did your cat last eat?
    • Did this come on gradually or suddenly?
  • Your cat may need diagnostic tests like:
    • Blood work and urinalysis
    • X-rays
    • Medications to stimulate the appetite
