What are common symptoms of cat emergencies?
One of the most common symptoms for a feline patient experiencing an emergency is open mouth breathing, pacing around, or complete collapse when your cat is breathing but not moving. If you notice that your cat goes off food or is not eating for a day or so, that can indicate that your cat is in big trouble.
What does inappropriate urination indicate?
If you see that your cat is not urinating or urinating inappropriately, such as outside the litter box, it could be an emergency. You can lift the lips and check the gums; if they look pale, it can be a sign of an emergency.
What should I do if my cat is open mouth breathing?
If you notice your cat open mouth breathing, you should bring it to the veterinary clinic right away. It could indicate problems with the heart or lungs, such as heart failure or feline asthma.
