Silent Patients: How AI Helps Vets Avoid Common Feline Diagnostic Traps​

A 12-year-old cat presents with vague symptoms: slightly decreased appetite and "just not acting like himself." Is it early-stage kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, or just a normal sign of aging? Every veterinarian faces this puzzle daily. Cats are masters of hiding illness, an evolutionary instinct that makes them uniquely challenging patients. This clinical reality creates diagnostic traps that can lead to delayed treatment and client anxiety. The critical question isn't just "what's wrong?" but "what subtle clues am I missing?"

This guide explores the most common feline diagnostic errors and demonstrates how AI-powered algorithms—the kind of technology working behind the scenes in Veetz—can serve as your 'second opinion,' helping you diagnose cats correctly and with greater confidence.
