Yellowing of the skin in cats, particularly around the ears and head, can indicate jaundice, which is often associated with liver issues. Given the additional symptoms of lethargy, loss of appetite, weight loss, and urinary problems, it is crucial to address this promptly.
Jaundice can stem from various conditions, including liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or hemolytic anemia. The yellowing occurs due to an accumulation of bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown that the liver typically processes.
At home, make sure your cat is comfortable, has access to fresh water, and a quiet resting place. You can encourage eating by offering palatable foods like boiled chicken or tuna. However, considering the severity of the symptoms and the potential underlying causes, it is essential to seek veterinary care immediately. Your veterinarian will likely perform blood tests, ultrasounds, or other diagnostic procedures to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.
