And in what areas should we pay a little attention? Causes symptoms and treatment 1, diarrhea causes: eat more, indigestion symptoms: soft stool mostly, most will not be watery treatment: eat less, halve the original grain portions, to be 1, 2 days can generally return to normal on their own, or can be used with lactobacillus, yeast tablets and other digestive aid drugs. In addition, the future regular feeding, it is recommended that the best two meals a day, do not put long food, especially in the summer food to the cat saliva licked easily breeding a large number of bacteria. 2, diarrhea causes: weather changes, gastrointestinal sensitivity symptoms: soft stool or ragged, a few will be with blood, but generally without fishy smell treatment: the grain portion by half, with lactobacillus, yeast tablets and other digestive drugs. If the effect is not obvious, use oxytetracycline, usually half a tablet / time for adult cats, 1/4 tablet / time for kittens, once a day, usually eat 1 or 2 times to have recovered. This diarrhea has almost no cause, especially in places like Guangzhou, where it is hot and cold, and can only be avoided by the owner trying to control the room temperature. 3, diarrhea causes: cold, fever symptoms: soft stool or ragged, a few with blood, occasionally with fishy smell treatment: reduce the grain portion by half, with lactobacillus, yeast tablets and other digestive drugs. If the effect is not obvious, use oxytetracycline, usually half a tablet/time for adult cats and 1/4 tablet/time for kittens, once a day, usually recover within 3 days. Cooling in summer and keeping warm in winter is also necessary common sense. 4, diarrhea causes: eating the wrong things, bacterial infection symptoms: stool is generally diluted or even watery, there will be more farts released, usually with a fishy smell, and the number of bowel movements is high, and serious cases will cause dehydration treatment: hyoscine, the general adult cat portion is half a tablet / time, 1/4 tablet / time for kittens, once a day. If lactobacillus or yeast tablets are used to help digestion, they must be used at least 2 hours after eating hygromycin. In severe cases, tobramycin injection can be used to stop the diarrhea first and prevent dehydration. 5. Causes of diarrhea: Parasitic infection Symptoms: Irregular and frequent diarrhea, the cat is thin and in poor health, even using anti-inflammatory drugs cannot control the diarrhea Treatment: Dewormer, recommended Bayer’s cat-specific internal worm flee. For severe parasitic infections, there may be continuous diarrhea for 1 week after taking the medication, and a large number of adult worms and eggs will be discharged, after which normal stools will naturally resume. Prevention 1. Keep the diet clean, the water bowl should be brushed every day, the food change should be slow, the food change period is one week, and if feeding meat from less to more. 2. Cats with diarrhea should be isolated and cats should be vaccinated in a timely manner (to prevent feline distemper). 3. Deworm in a timely manner, but for domestic cats, a course of thorough deworming is sufficient, because deworming medication cannot drive the eggs, and the eggs hatch out and need to be driven again. Note that infectious diseases that cause cat diarrhea may also cross species and infect humans. Be sure to take precautions when cleaning up after your cat’s diarrhea.
