Lethargy in Cats | Wag!
What is Lethargy?
Because cats naturally sleep a large percentage of their day, especially older cats, you may not be immediately aware of lethargy indicating that something may be medically wrong with your cat.
Lethargy is an indication of your cat not feeling well and could relate to a relatively minor medical condition or could be a sign of a more serious illness.
Careful investigation by your veterinarian will be required to narrow down the cause.
Symptoms of lethargy in cats are abnormal sleepiness, low energy, and lack of response to surroundings.
Lethargy is not a condition or disease in itself, but can be a sign that something is wrong with your cat.
