Cats are known to hide the symptoms of the disease. Although your cat friend probably spends most of his time kneeling on the couch instead of wandering around the woods, pet cats keep most of their wild habits from their ancestors. In the wild, sick cats are easily affected by larger predators. It is only reasonable that they want to hide the signs of illness and perceived weakness.
Unfortunately, this means that pet owners often do not realize that something is wrong until the problem becomes serious. As veterinarians, we often meet a cat patient who suffers from the disease at a later stage and has to tell his owners the sad news.
However, you do not need to be a veterinarian to know if there is something wrong with your pet. By learning to recognize the symptoms of the disease in cats, you will be better equipped to recognize your partner's problems. And if you notice the symptoms of the problems in time, we can start treatment and - often - provide a better prognosis. We've put together seven signs that your cat may be sick that you need to watch out for at home, and share them below. 1. Appearance changes
If your cat does not hear well, it may not look good. They can sit in a more crouched position or trade with less grace than usual. Tilting the head or wearing the tail in another way may also indicate that something is wrong.
1-Cats that do not feel well often do not take care of themselves as usual. Some of the signs that your cat doesn't care about himself the way he usually does are:
1-Greased, dirty coat
2-Extra food
3-Forests loose feathers
4-The coat may seem less shiny
5-Increased dandruff
In many cases, only one change is not visible. Instead, there are many subtle changes. Take good care of your cat and consult your veterinarian if you notice any changes in its appearance.
2. More vocalization
When a cat, usually as silent as a mouse in church, becomes a speaker, he may try to tell you that something is wrong. Especially if the procedure lasts longer than 24 to 36 hours.
More concentration can mean many things. This can mean that your cat is sick, has a stomach ache or even suffers from a neurological problem. While it can also be relatively harmless, such as her food bowl empty or missing her favorite toy, a cat that constantly meows for more than 24 to 36 hours, you can have a serious health problem.
3. Decline in socialization
Cats are stoic creatures that hide discomfort and pain with extraordinary grace. However, if your normal friendly cat suddenly doesn't want anything to do with you, it is a sign that something is wrong. Cats often hide or avoid association when they are not feeling well, so this is a change in behavior that we should not ignore.
4. Excessive thirst
In many households, feeding cats enough water is difficult. Water usually does not attract them and they cannot carry it like their smoke counterparts. If you find that your cat's water tank is faster than usual, or your friend is looking for water from unusual sources - such as a toilet or faucet - this can be a serious problem.
5-Endocrine diseases , such as diabetes and hyperthyroidism, cause excessive thirst and are common, especially in older cats. The good news, however, is that such diseases can be easily treated if detected in time. If your cat drinks like a fish, make an appointment with your veterinarian. 5. Refusal to eat
Refusing food is never a good sign for pets. If your cat raises its nose to its favorite food or - breathing - medication, don't ignore it. While occasional stomach upset is normal, avoiding favorite foods and snacks for more than 24 hours is a serious concern. If your cat does not eat, it can be caused by a damaged tooth or a mouth infection. It can also be a symptom of cancer or a number of serious health problems. From respiratory diseases to ingesting foreign bodies, there can be many reasons why your cat does not eat. It is best to be careful and make an appointment with your veterinarian.
6. Frequent vomiting
It is common for cats to break their hair at any time or immediately after eating. However, if they break out often - especially two or more days - it can be a sign of serious problems. Also remember that vomiting that lasts longer than two days can lead to dehydration.
If your cat vomits, see what it looks like and how often it happens. If it has an unusual appearance, has blood or occurs more than once, a visit to a veterinarian is required.
CANCER
Liver disease
infection
Intestinal obstruction
And if left untreated, all of these problems can lead to serious complications. 7. Weight loss
While losing a few pounds is not
usually a big problem for people, for a cat that weighs only about 10 pounds, it can be a serious problem. If you notice that your cat has lost weight, have it checked for dental health problems, internal pain and other problems that may be causing the problem. Also check their food and water intake and use of the rubbish bin.
