WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF DEHYDRATION IN CATS?
If the cat is not getting enough water, it can become dehydrated.
Some signs of dehydration in cats include:
- Sticky and dry gums
- Panting
- Hollow eyes
- Loss of energy
- Lack of appetite
To tell if your cat is dehydrated, gently pick up a small piece of your cat’s skin around her shoulders, pull on it, and then release it.
If your furry friend is hydrated, the fur will quickly fall back into place. If the coat slowly sheds again, this is a sign that your cat might be dehydrated.
If your cat’s fur stays in a tented position and doesn’t fall back, it may be a sign of severe dehydration. In cases like this, you should seek medical attention for your cat. (Web MD).
