Our feline friends depend on us for their good health
Cats may seem independent, but domesticated cats are reliant upon their humans to see to their health and happiness. And since symptoms and problems abound with our furry family members, it's important to have access to good veterinary resources.
According to veterinarians, the most common health complaints of cats include:
- Worms
- Upper respiratory infections
- Ringworm
- Rabies
- Heartworm
- Feline leukemia virus (FelV)
- Feline immunodeficiency virus (FEV)
- Diabetes
- Cancer
Of course health problems never arise when the vet's office is open, so it's always a comfort to have the Experts at JustAnswer available 24/7 to answer your question. You can even ask follow-up questions, and approve payment only when you're completely satisfied.

What Customers are Saying:
The response from the Expert literally saved my cat's life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart -- I will recommend all of my friends to you!!!
Rincon, Georgia
I will use your service again. I was very pleased with the response and the fact that you have a low cost option so that those of us on fixed income can have questions answered. I will also recommend you to others.
Jackson Heights, NY
You helped us to come to what we believe is a better next step in Jack's treatment, and hopefully have saved us $800!! Thanks again!
Tuscon, AZ
The vet said that the information and my following it will be what made the difference. Thanks again for being so very helpful.
Grayson, LA
My oldest male cat had a seizure this evening. This site was the first place I could think of to go after the seizure had passed. Dr. Lucy was fantastic and she was spot on!
USA
I must tell you I found this site by accident and was amazed when I asked a question of the Veteranians online. I wish I could have found it sooner it could have made such a difference in the outcome of my pet's surgery. However, I am passing along the information to my sister-in-law (a cat-rescue person who is also a nurse), and perhaps it will help someone else who may experience the same problem. The doctor who answered my question was amazing, and while it didn't come it time to change the outcome of my situation, it is reassuring to know the caliber of Vets/Doctors that you have at JustAnswer. Thank you for being there.
Jacksonville, Fl.
Wonderful service, prompt, efficient, and accurate. Couldn't have asked for more. I cannot thank you enough for your help.

How to get fast, efficient answers when you're worried about your cat
The Experts at JustAnswer respond to thousands of cat health questions, such as:
- What's wrong with my cat? He's not himself. He's headbutting people and meowing in a guttural way.
- I think my 12-year-old cat has IBD, and she's on prednisone and probiotics to help with cramping. Now she has diarrhea and is urinating everywhere. What should I do?
- Our family cat Oreo is pregnant with at least five kittens according to the X-ray that was taken three weeks ago. The vet told me 10-14 days but it's been 21 days and I'm really worried.
- My cat ate a little bite of a ranunculus plant. What should we do for her?
- I just got a new dog. My cat is so upset and it's been 10 days. She's walking around with her pupils dilated, pacing, panting, and disoriented.
When you reach out to a veterinary Expert, be prepared to answer these questions:
- What's the cat's name and age?
- What's the cat's weight?
- What symptoms is the cat having, and what seems to make them better or worse?
With this information, you'll be ready for a constructive session with the vet.
