The cat suddenly becomes sluggish and moves staggering. What are the possible health problems?
Fans recently asked us for help. A one-year-old cat at home, shortly after giving birth, showed symptoms of decreased appetite, swelling of the abdomen, laziness and weakness, and vomiting white foam, but no obvious diarrhea was seen. Although cats eat regularly and only use cat food, cat strips and canned food as their staple food, they have recently experienced unstable walking.
In response to this series of symptoms, we have conducted in-depth discussions on the problems that cats may encounter from multiple angles.
02
Disease of digestive system in cats: Gastroenteritis
Cats vomit suddenly and with enlarged abdomen. It is initially speculated that gastroenteritis may be caused by indigestion.
We need to further understand the changes in cats' dietary habits, especially whether there are any foods that are difficult to digest.
03
The influence of diet and environmental factors
The daily diet structure of cats, drinking water and excretion, and check whether food changes cause digestive discomfort.
At the same time, pay attention to the temperature changes in the living environment and whether the resting place is comfortable, which may affect the physiological status of the cat.
04
Possibility of disease infection
View cats for respiratory symptoms (such as coughing, sneezing, runny nose), and confirm their vaccination and deworming.
Failure to get vaccinated and dewormed in time may cause cats to be susceptible to infectious diseases or parasite infections, showing similar symptoms.
05
Pregnancy and ascites problems
Given that cats have recently given birth, their abdomen become larger and their compression feels soft, it is necessary to consider the possibility of fake pregnancy, ascites, or infectious peritonitis (FIP).
Especially for suspected ascites, medical treatment should be obtained as soon as possible to rule out the risk of abdominal transmission of cats.
06
Gas for the treatment of gastrointestinal tract drug
For vomiting due to initial judgment as dyspepsia, it is recommended to fast and water-free first and then give pet special anti-inflammatory drugs and probiotics conditioning.
Probiotics help restore intestinal bacterial balance, enhance digestive function, and astringently and prevent ejaculation.
