Not recommended. It is not recommended to feed glucose to cats that are dehydrated. This is mainly related to the concentration of glucose. Because the cat itself is in a state of dehydration, and glucose is a hypertonic solution, if the glucose concentration is higher than 5%, it may make the cat's dehydration more serious. It is recommended to replenish the cat with water first, and then add sugar water according to the blood sugar level after the dehydration is relieved. . It is recommended to take it to the hospital and listen to the doctor’s professional opinion.
Symptoms of cat dehydration:
1. The cat’s skin condition deteriorates and its elasticity is insufficient. If the skin on the cat is pinched and does not return to its original state for a long time, it means that the cat has become dehydrated. The cat begins to be dehydrated, and the longer the recovery time is, the more serious the cat is.
2. The weight of the cat has decreased. If the cat’s weight is found to have decreased, or even by 4%-5%, it means that the cat is seriously dehydrated, and this is difficult to detect in the early stage.
3. The urine becomes dark yellow, and the water storage capacity in the body is low. Naturally, the color of the cat's urine will become darker, and the urine output will also become less. This can be referred to the state of human beings lacking water.
4. In order to identify whether cats have symptoms of dehydration, check their oral cavity. Check to see if the cat’s mouth is dry. Normally, a cat’s mouth is covered in saliva. But once dehydration occurs, your mouth will be very dry. At the same time, look at the cat’s gum mucosa.
