Cat still unwell after vet, x-rays clear. Should she get bloodwork?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My cat Kissy, Devon Rex female 2 years old, was panting and very lethargic. I took her in to a vet and after some O2 and xrays, was given antibiotics and antihistamines. Today she’s a little bit more active but a bit sleepy and not as alert as usual. The xrays were clear of anything that can be hurting her. Today I think it may be a toxic reaction or something. Should I have bloodwork done?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Kissy. I'm sorry she isn't feeling well! Yes, bloodwork is a logical step if she isn't feeling better. I would take her back into the vet to get it done. I hope this helps!
