Causes of postpartum vomiting in teacup cats:
1. If the cat vomits after giving birth, but its spirit and appetite are normal, then the reason for the cat’s postpartum vomiting is mostly due to the fact that the cat has given birth. After the baby is born, the mother cat licks the baby's anus to encourage the kitten to defecate. This is a normal phenomenon and will gradually disappear once the kitten can defecate on its own.
2. Cat vomiting is sometimes not caused by disease. Excessive eating and excessive postpartum gastrointestinal burden can also cause postpartum vomiting in cats. Since the mother cat needs a large amount of lactation to provide nutrients for the kittens after giving birth, the mother cat's food intake will greatly increase during this period. However, excessive eating increases the burden on the cat's gastrointestinal tract, thus causing the mother cat to develop gastroenteritis and vomiting.
3. If the fetus is relatively large, it will cause severe pain during the birth of the cat. Especially for cats that give birth for the first time, they may cause postpartum vomiting due to pain, but this situation generally does not last too long. After a long time, after the pain is relieved, the cat's vomiting symptoms will naturally disappear.
4. Female cats are most likely to develop hypocalcemia around 2 weeks after giving birth, with symptoms such as foaming, panting, elevated body temperature, stiff gait, and convulsions. If this happens, you should seek medical attention immediately.
Postpartum care for teacup cats:
1. Cats are very weak after giving birth and are prone to bacterial infection. Be sure not to bathe them. You can use hot towels or pets Wipes for body wiping.
2. After giving birth, if possible, you can still give the cat a burst of anti-inflammatory injections and contraction injections to ensure the health of the cat’s uterus. You can go to the hospital to get medicine, and then give it to your cat at home.
3. Within a week after delivery, eat small meals frequently, and the food prepared should be easy to digest. The food just after giving birth is best to be liquid, do not feed dry cat food. If you have time, make homemade cat rice. If you don’t have time, prepare canned staple food.
