Emergency Medical Issues and Vet Services

Sometimes kitties get sick when general vet practices aren’t open but there are still vet services that can help.

The following are medical issues your kitty may develop that need urgent medical attention:

• Collapse/non-responsive or unable to stand
• Respiratory distress/difficulty breathing with increased effort
• Seizures
• Ingestion of toxin/poisoning
• Major trauma e.g. hit by car, fractured limbs, head injury, tail pull injury
• Burns or scalds
• Eye injury
• Dystocia (difficulty giving birth)
• Dysuria (difficulty passing urine – especially male cats)
• Serious bleeding/haemorrhage
• Continuous vomiting or diarrhoea (esp very young or elderly cats)
• Ingestion of a foreign body
• Anorexia (Not eating) for more than 24 hours
• Spillage of something toxic on coat e.g. motor oil

Please DO NOT be tempted to medicate your cat with humans medications, as many (such as paracetamol) are extremely toxic to cats and can be fatal.
