Section: Follow-up
Optimal treatment for your cat requires a definitive diagnosis and a combination of home and professional veterinary care. Follow-up is crucial and includes:
Administering any veterinary prescribed medications.
Allowing your cat unlimited access to fresh clean water.
Follow-up with your veterinarian for examinations and repeated measurements of blood calcium concentration.
Other recommendations will be determined by the underlying cause of the hypercalcemia.
Contact your veterinarian immediately if you experience difficulty treating your cat.
