After raising a cat, more or less cats will have loose stools. If the cat is kept on the balcony or other locations, it is fine. If it is a friend who works outside, or the cat is raised in the bedroom, then once the cat has loose stools , the whole house is full of biohazard, it smells really bad, it’s really irritating to the eyes, so how to treat it?
1. First rule out whether it is enteritis
Cats are particularly susceptible to enteritis, and many cats suffer from diarrhea due to enteritis. The main cause of enteritis is improper diet by pet owners. For example, kittens under three months old are fed dry cat food, which can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Regarding whether the cat has gastroenteritis, if the cat owner is not sure about the situation, he can check the cat to see if there is diarrhea and blood, whether the stool has a fishy smell, whether there is vomiting in addition to diarrhea, whether there is foam in the vomit, etc. , if there is, it may be enteritis. Of course, if you are not worried, you can take the cat to the pet hospital for a check-up. After confirming that it is enteritis, the first treatment principle should be anti-inflammation. Otherwise, simply taking probiotics will not have normal effects.
2. Indigestion causes loose stools and smelly stools
In addition to enteritis, cats may also suffer from indigestion and diarrhea due to eating too much, or eating too much, too quickly. At this time, the stool will also have a smell. Therefore, when the cat’s energy and appetite are normal and only has diarrhea, it may be caused by indigestion. It is recommended to pay attention to the rules when feeding cats. Cats over three months old can eat three or two meals a day. When they are seven to eight minutes full each time, you can remove the food to avoid eating too much. If you accidentally eat too much and suffer from indigestion, fast for a day or half in time and check whether diarrhea will occur again.
If many methods have been tried during the cat's diarrhoea, and it cannot be cured for a long time, you need to take the cat to the hospital for treatment in time. Perhaps the cat cannot be cured by the parents alone, and it still needs professional treatment.
