Two kittens, one always vomits and the other often has diarrhea. What’s going on?

For cats with diarrhea, you must first find out the cause of diarrhea. There are many reasons for cats with diarrhea. Only by prescribing the right medicine can you have a good therapeutic effect:

1. Indigestion

This is the most common cause of loose stools, especially in kittens under six months old. Simple indigestion is also called loose stools.

a: Change food

Kittens’ intestines and stomach are very delicate, because the digestive system is very delicate and lacks many digestive enzymes. When kittens are less than three months old, they should eat canned food or other foods. Meat alone can easily cause indigestion. Poor digestion will lead to loose stools. If left unchecked, the loose stools will become thinner and thinner, causing dehydration, which is very dangerous. Therefore, all cat parents and cat mothers, please be sure to treat this situation of your kitten carefully. On the premise that you are sure that you have not contracted any disease (the home environment and food can ensure hygiene, and the kitten has been immunized), you can stop feeding canned food and For foods that are difficult to digest, such as meat, feed two tablets of lactose enzyme at a time, two or three times a day, and the effect will be effective within one day.

In addition, in this case, you can also try "Mummy Love" (multi-vitamin lactobacillus powder, which can be bought in pharmacies and is for babies.), take a small tube at a time, and mix the powder with Feed it directly into cat food or dissolve it, twice a day. The effect is the same as using lactase. There is also "Zhengchangsheng" that has this effect. Just choose one of the three that you find convenient.

If necessary, control her diet. You can starve her for about a day first, and don’t overfeed her every meal in the future. Let her gastrointestinal condition be adjusted first. Don’t be nervous about this kind of diarrhea. The focus is on adjustment:)

b: Catch a cold

During autumn and winter, many cats are prone to diarrhea. Generally speaking, as long as the cat's energy and appetite are the same as usual, it can be considered that sudden changes in weather or cold are causing diarrhea. It is necessary to properly keep the cat warm and regulate his digestion.

2. Enteritis

The symptoms of enteritis are that in addition to diarrhea, the cat’s mental state is not good and the body temperature rises. In this case, the cat's symptoms are very similar to feline infectious enteritis (cat distemper). After confirming that the cat has been immunized, you can treat it according to the following methods. Otherwise, please go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis as soon as possible.

Gentamicin injection can be taken orally. The most common ones in pharmacies are 80,000 units in two milliliters, and you drink 20,000 units each time, twice a day. It should be noted that half an hour after taking Qingda, the cat needs to be fed some digestive aids based on live fungi, such as lactase, Mommy's Love, etc., to help the cat restore its digestion ability.

You can also go to the drugstore to buy "Smecta" to stop diarrhea for cats. Unlike Qingda, it uses physical methods to take bacteria out of the body.

3. Parasites

You need to take medicine to fight parasites. It is best to go to the hospital for a stool test first and then take targeted medicine.

In addition, due to diarrhea caused by parasites, blood streaks may be seen in the BB. On the other hand, if you see such BB, it is best to test for confirmation. It is recommended to deworm every three months to completely prevent this phenomenon from happening!

The most important thing when a cat has diarrhea is to pay attention to its mental state and appetite. If it is no different from usual, just give it some gastrointestinal conditioning. If it has fever and poor energy, it should be inflammation. , you can refer to the above treatment methods for enteritis or go to the hospital for examination and treatment.

My feelings about the use of medication for cat diarrhea (original author: taofriday)

This is just a little experience left to me by my two diarrhea kings. It may not be professional, so everyone can join in the fun. .

As for those medicines, the ones I heard recommended by doctors include Qingda, Lactase, Lactobacillus, and Smecta.

Qingda has never used it. Lactobacillus tablets have anti-inflammatory effects, but they are too big and hard to smash. Dr. Smecta recommends it hard, but no matter how much Smecta my cat eats, it has no effect.

I wonder if Smecta is suitable for the treatment of acute diarrhea?

Although Lactase is a primary and very cheap medicine, I feel that its conditioning effect is better than the above medicines. It may not have an immediate effect, but if it is more Taking it three times a day (twice in the later period) on time for a long time is particularly beneficial to cats with chronic poor digestive system function.

Talk about native cats: Judging from experience, diarrhea in cats is mostly caused by indigestion, and lactase can treat the symptoms, so the effect is good. The principle of Smecta is to wrap bacteria and expel them from the body. If the diarrhea is not caused by bacterial enteritis, it will have no effect.

Talk about the medication for cat gastroenteritis (original author: Little Senior Sister)

Cat gastroenteritis is a very common cat disease, manifested by: vomiting, diarrhea and lethargy. The most common reason is due to indigestion. When using medication, you should pay attention to the following points -

1. Regulate the digestive system

Recommended medication: lactase, multi-enzyme tablets , lactobacillus tablets, live fungi drugs such as Micola for animals, Livzon Intestinal Fungus, Zhengchang Sheng. Help cats regulate digestive tract flora.

2. Anti-inflammation

If regulating the digestive system for three days has no major effect, you can consider eliminating intestinal inflammation in cats.

Here is a problem with the choice of anti-inflammatory drugs: 99% of intestinal infections are caused by bacilli. The best choices for dealing with bacilli are gentamicin sulfate, kanamycin and other drugs. Among them, gentamicin has a relatively large molecular weight and will not be absorbed by the internal organs when taken orally. It is the first choice drug for cats to deal with intestinal inflammation.

It should be noted that half an hour after taking anti-inflammatory drugs, the cat needs to be fed some digestive aids with live fungi, such as lactase, Mommy's Love, etc., to help the cat restore its digestive ability. .

I heard that cat food should be soaked in warm water for it to eat, so what is the ratio between cat food and water?

Is there any food that is suitable for cats of this age? Is there any specific feeding time for those who cannot eat?

Generally speaking, it is best not to feed bones, not any bones. It may cause problems. There are other taboos that you can find by searching.

Feeding time generally requires regular and quantitative feeding. This is better. But the cat itself can also control it. So it doesn’t matter.

Cats are animals that are prone to vomiting. Their vomiting center is very developed, which is very important for cats. It is a protective function. When a cat ingests toxic substances, the cat can eliminate the poison through rapid vomiting to prevent the absorption of the toxin. Pathological vomiting can represent cat gastritis, esophagitis, intestinal inflammation, foreign bodies in the stomach, intestinal obstruction or infarction and other diseases.

A common cause of cat vomiting is that when a cat licks the cat, the cat's tongue has barbs and cannot spit out the combed hair, so it swallows it into the stomach, where the hair cannot be licked. During digestion, it is impossible to spit out the hair for a while. It is inevitable that the hair will stimulate the stomach and cause vomiting.

1. Gastroenteritis, as well as infectious gastroenteritis-cat distemper, are diseases that can cause hair vomiting. Food-induced gastroenteritis or acute gastritis caused by unclean food has a certain time relationship between eating and vomiting. When suffering from feline distemper, cats will vomit regardless of whether they eat or not; blood testing is a necessary diagnostic method, and the existence of feline distemper can be determined by combining the blood test results (low WBC) and clinical symptoms. Cats suffering from feline distemper should be given infusions, antiemetics, injections of feline distemper monoclonal antibodies, and H2 receptor antagonists to protect the gastrointestinal mucosa.

2. Chronic renal failure is the most common disease in aging cats. Cats are carnivores. After the protein in the food is converted into amino acids, the nitrogen-containing compounds must be metabolized by the kidneys. Therefore, the kidneys bear a heavy burden throughout the cat's life. Feral cats do not live long as there is no medical treatment available. After domestic cats eat cat food, their lifespan is greatly extended because of the nutritional balance of cat food. However, developing kidney failure is inevitable in felines. Vomiting, decreased diet or even hunger strike, increased drinking water, polydipsia and polyuria in elderly cats are one of the clinical symptoms of chronic renal failure. When vomiting occurs, the sick cat is in the stage of uremia, with high blood ammonia and high blood phosphorus,

3. Heart disease is also a disease that cannot be ignored. Although the vomiting caused by it is uncommon, it cannot be ignored.

4. Pyometra is an obstetric disease of female cats, characterized by enlarged abdomen, polydipsia, and often vomiting when the condition is severe; B-ultrasound diagnosis is required, and blood tests can also be done.

5. Vomiting in late pregnancy is caused by the enlargement of the fetus, and other symptoms are normal. The pregnancy period of cats is about 63 days. Vomiting is normal in the last week of pregnancy. At this time, you need to pay attention to eating small amounts and frequent meals.

6. Hirschsprung disease in older cats is a common problem in cats. The colon accumulates feces, and the feces becomes dry and knotted, making it difficult to pass out. The peristalsis force of the cat's colon decreases, causing intestinal excretion to be blocked and causing vomiting. .
