Common Symptoms of Trouble
Regardless of what the specific cause may be, there are some symptoms that are always a sign of a sick cat. If your cat has any of the following symptoms, you should check with your veterinarian at once:
An abnormal respiration rate. - Elevated or depressed temperature. - Eating or drinking an unusual amount, either too much or too little. - Sneezing or coughing. Some cats are prone to hairballs, so know the difference between your cat's "hairball" cough and a different cough. If in doubt, check with your vet. - Runny eyes, or discharge from the eyes, nose, or mouth. - Straining to pass urine, and/or signs of pain while passing or attempting to pass urine. Take your cat to a veterinarian immediately if you observe these symptoms. - Vomiting - Signs of pain or discomfort. Note that panting or loud, excessive purring can be signs of pain in a cat. - Abnormal or suspicious behavior that you, that cat's owner and friend, might uniquely be able to notice. As we said above, if you suspect your cat isn't well, it probably isn't. Educate yourself! The next time you visit your veterinarian for routine cat health care such as vaccinations, ask them for any free literature they can give you on cat health. Your veterinarian cares about your cat too, and will be happy to help you learn all that you can.
