My cat is sick and lethargic after kittens. How much is vet care?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Cat very lethargic, not eating or drinking, not her self. She has recently had a kitten 4 weeks ago and still feeds but disappeared for two nights and we thought she went away to die and then she just turned up. She was a stray to begin with and has not had any immunisations or worming so I thought this could be the cause .. this is my daughters cat and she has limited money but she wants to take her to the vet and get all her needles and worming and possibly antibiotics. hiw much?

Costs will vary by geographic location and by clinic. Most will not vaccinate a visibly sick animal. She will need an exam at the very least after which blood work may be recommended to assess major organ function or to diagnose infection. Treatment and/or supportive care may be indicated until she recovers. Once she recovers and is healthy, she should be vaccinated and spayed. Call the local clinic and request an estimate for services. Most will provide one as a matter of hospital policy.
