🐾 What We Evaluate and Recommend During a Sick Visit

We’ll assess your cat’s condition and guide you through the next steps based on what we find. This may include:

  • Thorough History: We’ll carefully listen to your concerns and gather details about symptoms, behavior changes, and any recent shifts in your cat’s routine or environment.
  • Full Physical Exam: A gentle, nose-to-tail evaluation focused on identifying signs of illness, discomfort, or distress.
  • Vital Signs Assessment: Checking heart rate, breathing, and body temperature to detect abnormalities or signs of systemic illness.
  • Weight & Nutrition Evaluation: Assessing body condition, weight changes, and nutritional status to determine if your cat is underweight, overweight, or showing signs of chronic issues.
  • Diagnostic Testing (If Needed): Depending on what we find, we may recommend bloodwork, urinalysis, stool sample testing, or imaging to determine the cause of your kitty’s symptoms.
  • Tailored Treatment Plan: Once we know what’s going on, we’ll explain your options and create a custom treatment plan with medications, at-home care tips, and clear follow-up steps.
  • Compassionate Support: We know it’s hard when your cat is sick. We’ll make sure they feel safe and comforted—and we’ll be here for you, too.

  • Changes in appetite, thirst, or litter box use

  • Excessive grooming or poor coat condition
  • Coughing, sneezing, or labored breathing
  • Changes in urination or stool — going more or less often, straining, or differences in shape, size, or smell
